Wierd to claim de minimus is being 'abused' when simply more people are using it. It's not as if people ordering from Shien are breaking up their orders to ship in packages less than 800 dollars, they're just not spending that much on a single order of clothing.

You think that's gonna be eaiser to fix by chasing out tourists and losing income your city is going to try an regain elsewhere (that means from you), or by reigning in the real estate market and shit like air bnb? I promise you the people raising your rent aren't tourists.
Id wager most government workers wont need to strike during a government shutdown as most government jobs won't be functioning during the shutdown, they could march with the unions easily. The cops will be the largest group of gov employees still working and we don't wanna see them at the marches anyway.
Dang, if only someone warned about how unstable and un representative the USAs elections are since they vest the deciding factor to a small handful of states whos own state government is shakey at best.
1/3rd of Spaniards: Man wouldn't it be nice to pay higher taxes so that we don't have to exist with so many people who have a different culture than us?
I still think every time the government threatens a shutdown workers should start organizing to threaten a general strike. If the government saw union leaders organizing to strike once the government shuts down, they'd never let it shut down again. Exploit their weakness, if they want to stop governing, we should stop making the capital their owners desire.
Its funny because there's a user assuming the astro turf is going the other direction and they're getting mostly up voted. Too many people are thinking with their feelings instead of their brain.
Im fully against public down votes becaue I already see people calling out other users by their name in threads they're not even part of. Theres no world where that behavior gets better when you give them more tools to witch hunt. Lemmy is as much an insular echo chamber as any social media and there are plenty of users dedicated to keeping it that way.
Yeah and if all the people who dislike both parties voted for the same third party they'd win, but that's not going to happen either.
Welcome to the post truth era. Nothing matters except the way it makes you feel. Ignorance is strength and rage is fuel. If it feels good it's true, if it challenges your paradigm, it's fake news. This phenom is not exclusive to Republicans but they sure do excel at it.
Doesn't help that Bidens border policy is almost exactly Trumps policy but elected Democrats stopepd caring about the camps after Biden won. Now no ones fighting. Xenophobia has a cozy home in both parties.
