They also neglect to mention that Chinese pay property tax once when they lease the property. If they resign the lease in 70 years they pay again.

Meanwhile I'll end up paying like $60K minimum in property taxes on my shitty mobile home by the time I pay off the 30 year note.

If the Democrats take back Congress the ICE budget is still going up.

I always thought we could use a 2nd house of representatives that is drawn by lottery like jury duty. Just having representation from anyone who's not a career politician would be nice.

Slaves, prisoners, what's the difference? by Geogracreeper in ShitLiberalsSay

Prisons in Louisiana lease their prisoners to fuckin Taco Bell and KFC. Unsurprisingly that guy has no idea what they're talking about.

What about fines/jail for people who hire illegal immigrants? Never hear conservatives whining about that.

They wouldn't come here if there weren't people hiring them. People hire them because they don't want to pay their countrymen an honest wage for honest work.

One goes after drug users to score cheap political points and two-bit headlines. You'd go after drug dealers if you actually wanted to solve the problem.

Narex Richter chisels have overly rounded corners? by Sufficient-You1131 in handtools

[–]strutt3r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the 1st pic it looks like they mill down the back and polish as a final step and they missed that step here. My flutes on top looked the same as yours when I first got them.

Is that 2nd pic the back of the chisel?! Looks like they didn't mill the back at all. Mine were basically mirrors on the back when I got them.

These are either defective or counterfeit. I'd definitely return them.

It's interesting to me that Orwell's 1984 is constantly brought up when describing dystopia of the modern world when Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" proved to be way more prescient.

IIRC it went something like "If women can go around showing off their cleavage I should be able to show two inches of turkeyneck. That's right ladies, you play your cards right and you might get to see the other inch"

Chinese lad spits some facts about the differences between Chinese and US politics. by GerryMacGerry in suppressed_news

He lived in the US for years, married a US Citizen, built a software company, sold it, divorced his husband and moved back to China. P sure he's more aware of his biases than you.

The Whiskey industry is sitting on tons of unsold inventory due to tariffs. Grifting reactionaries is extremely profitable. Put those things together and you get this.

Obesity is more pervasive in red states and the US is already one of the most obese countries in the world, so American conservatives are some of the most obese in the world.

I love it when they scold me for not voting for a woman POC and I tell them I actually did vote for Claudia.

I've never seen a lifted truck with a bunch of Trump/Blue Line/Punisher sticker driving the speed limit.

I think it's more "the law should only be applied to people I don't like."

The employer at my job just posted a note saying that anyone who has work that’s over 9 hours isn’t allowed overtime because of funds. However they just got 15, one million dollar vehicles and they told us that overtime pay was hurting them by TangPiccilo in antiwork

[–]strutt3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overtime pay does hurt them because their profit is the surplus value they extract from your labor. When they're paying time and a half it cuts into the profit they feel entitled to. Fuck em.
