Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Correct headline: See which countries Americans are most punished to trade with.

What did Vietnam ever do wrong?

It looks like they just went down a list according to trade ratios

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

@raef @thefluffiest Pretty sure ChatGPT went down a list according to trade ratios:

![Screenshot from vfxgordon's Threads (I think!) profile):

Also note that the tariffs are not broken down by country, they're broken down by top level internet domain.

It's why islands that are populated entirely by penguins (the .nm domain) and why the Diego Garcia military base on BIOT (.io) are listed, also why Reunion (.re) and Gibraltar (.gi) are listed separately from France & the UK.

They 100% used an LLM to generate this list and didn't catch the mistake because they're all dumb as rocks. ](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/273/863/193/645/966/original/e7984d3425ebbc34.png)

More accurately phrased: See which countries US importers are going to have to pass the cost of importing from to US consumers the most.

I'm guessing the price of eggs won't go down all that much after all...

Adjudicated rapist (inmate #P01135809) who is formerly known as the former presidential placeholder but is now currently known as the current presidential placeholder says: "Shut up about egg prices."

P01135809

This is interesting. Even googling shows articles of the felon.

Secondly, separately googling "Adjudicated rapist" does the same.

Thanks for sharing.

I thought it was fun word-play.

That's my biggest problem, I think that I'm funny.

Probably not, not like Europe is going to export eggs to the US after putting more tariffs on and Republicans have gutted any agency that was trying to study and prevent bird flu from spreading.

Welcome to the new depression.

Still better than a democrat winning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, if you're Putin or one of his lackeys.
