How about the EU declares all their drugs generics and sets up a factory to produce them cheaply.

What’s your problem now?

I’m guessing the Chinese diet doesn’t have as much corn syrup in it.

It’s mocking Trump and MAGA’s fantasy. For the workers it’s providing them with work that is unpleasant, poorly paid and painful. For the factory owners it is ending up with staff that just aren’t going to be productive.

As for toiling for a pittance: Trump is trying to devalue the dollar and erode workers rights in a race to the bottom. Apart from the fact that, as others here have pointed out, the endgame would be automation the intermediary stage is pushing those in precarity and poverty into jobs that don’t benefit them in any meaningful way.

But the Chinese, being somewhat keener students of human nature, have distilled those arguments into thirty seconds of comedy gold.

Gotta link to that?

And in their desperation, they turned to a man no one could fully understand.

Ah ok, thanks.

Where I’m from a lock in is a pub illegally serving drinkers after time by locking the doors.

What does ‘lock in’ mean in this situation?

Yours faithfully,

Precisely. 🙂

Whoever owns the fountains owns the money.

If someone throws money into a fountain and then wishes then that in itself is a complete transaction with whichever supernatural entity is being bargained with.

I am assuming that any entity which is powerful enough to grant wishes is also powerful enough to hang onto the money if that should be its wish.

Alternatively it’s a quaint custom that people engage in as a form of custom and the pleasure comes with a link to the tradition.

The periodic clearing out of the fountains is both necessary maintenance and a form of income that pays for said maintenance. No one is really harmed by this.

Killer is the best, in my opinion.

The police have, however, claimed that the woman was having an affair with another person and was beaten up by him and his family members.

That’s the same fucking crime you uniformed dunces!

I was counting double as one syllable. It’s still early on Sunday morning for me here.

Where in the world do you live that you need five syllables to ‘GSW’?

It’s ducks all the way down.

A Canard (French for duck) refers to something often believed to be true but isn’t.

The vast majority of Earther cats believe themselves to be stuck in this quandary.

Just gonna leave this here…

I wish I could do things carefully. Doesn’t matter how hard I try; if I wash up water goes everywhere, even when I’m trying not to let it. I can’t do cutting in when it’s time to paint a room. I can’t move things around without bumping them, usually. Just incapable of doing things carefully.
