...Yet the entire world wants to be in America.
Yeah it's a funny claim, and I guess if you live there you might hear it enough to believe it's true. My wife and I have both had job opportunities in the US, and every time we have refused (the impromptu job offer from the Honolulu Omega boutique was tempting I will say).
I've personally been to at least 25 US states, plus DC. Many wonderful places and people. Zero desire to live there...
Regardless of political orientation, most Australians quietly regard the US as a sort of empire in decline.
Speaking of small businesses.... One of the smallest out there was supposedly floating the idea of adding a line stating what the tariffs cost on certain products. But you- well we all know, really, how readily small businesses fold because of pressure.
Did you see the press briefing where they called this act of pricing transparency a 'hostile political action'?
Ok. This thread is getting tedious.
It's time to start a thread titled "The United States of America Appreciation Thread."
Do it. I'll post. There is a ton to appreciate about this country.
There definitely is, I always tell people US sports are objectively better to hang out with your mates while watching and enjoying a beer.
The frequent stoppages of play, quarters rather than just halves and longer duration give you the opportunity to drink your beer and take a leak without missing the action and you can chat to the bloke next to you between plays.
Many of the popular sports here don’t let the game have time to breathe, or give spectators the time to get rid of the beer they just finished.
As soon as whatever her name is said "I will field this one" I was like here we go.
what a reprehensible and hateful person. I genuinely do not- CAN not, understand how anyone can listen to her talk and not.... just understand how 1984 we are right now.
Make Australia Great Again . Which makes no sense. Australia was, is and always will be Great . And as a life long staunch Ally of the USA , we only got 10% Tariffs and always had a negative Trade Balance with the USA .... Good times ! China takes our vast Minerals anyway. And the upcoming Federal Election in 4 days , will annihilate the Liberal Opposition . Like Canada did. Our Opposition Leader did read the Room wrong. Started as a Mini Trump ... Funny to watch.

Ya that would be great. Give all these nice guys in OF a chance to say how nice America is except for the 50% that are Nazis.
I can't be sure what Amazon's hypothetical motivation would have been to post the cost of tariffs baked into each item. It might have been political or it might have been to deflect the anger of their customers when seeing big price increases.
Either way, I would have been interested to see those numbers.
I'm not a fan of Karoline Leavitt, she lies blatantly with no shame and seems to revel in being an attack dog. Spinning the narrative has become part of the press secretary role so I guess she's just doing her job. But ultimately, I think every individual has to follow their own conscience, and if you choose a job where you are required to speak falsely in public every single day, that probably says something about you.
The anger is real when people finally figure out they US consumers are paying the tariffs…not Amazon but I suspect they would be getting the same sort of reaction…

I think a Nazi appreciation thread would probably be in rather bad taste given we had a war over it and all
