It's a form of taxation so the government collects it. When a good is imported, 25% of the value of that good needs to be paid by the buyer to the government. My understanding.
The only problem is that the vast majority of those guns are owned precisly by the most brainwashed americans. I'm Canadian and for the first time of my life I'm considering getting a weapon.
There's litteraly a recording of the biggest pedophile of the past 60 years saying Donald was his "closest friend" and nobody in the party of "familly values" cares. Their could be a signed picture of peDonald groping 5 years old kids and his voters would just ignore it or blame it Clinton. It's called cognitive dissonance. More radical actions are needed against fascism.
They paid 170k for a great house in one of the nicest neighborhood of Montreal in the 90s. I'll be paying 3x more for a super basic house in a shitty neighborhood. I was lucky enough to buy a house before the pandemic so I made a profit selling it, but even with that I won't even come close to their way of living.
Bandcamp to buy albums but if you really need a streaming service similar to spotify, Tidal offers better quality and gives at least 3x more to artists.
It's baffling to see that it's absolutely impossible to emit any form of criticism about steam (a soul-less dirty capitalist business like any other) without having an army of gamers ready to die to defend it. Yeah they offer a pretty good service, but taking a 30% on games is ridiculous.
The thing is, when you side with the anti-removed crowd, you make them feel legitimate. The latest AC game wasn't even out and gamers were crushing it because "black samurai" and "women".
Also, people are praising Steam, who has under 100 employees, takes 30% of the price of EVERY GAMES SOLD, and doesn't let you own you games, but bashing studios (purely greedy capitalist business too, we agree) with thousands of employees who in the end are mostly passionate devs... That doesn't make much sens to me and sadly, in the end it's always devs that will pay for executive's bad decision.
I'm willing to bet my ass that gamers cheering for the ubisoft layoff will be complaining about the "good old time" of AAA studio in a couple of years. Spoiler: devs are losing their jobs, not executives.
I mean, you'll get to see the difference between a bad and discriminatory democracy and a pure dictatorship soon enough. If you think an economical crash will bring back progressivism, I wish you good luck but I think it's really naive. At this point with the gafam siding with pedo-president, they just wait for automation and AI to get a little further before getting rid of half of the country. And since it's the US, the other half of the country will take care of it for them. An economical crash would be the perfect setup for this. I'm not even american but for the first time of my life I'm considering getting a gun.
The funny things is americans were like "We need guns to protect ourselves from tyranny." But of course, the ones with the guns are precisely the ones siding with tyrants.
Well considering they elected Epstein's closest friend (yeah it's on tape), I would'nt try to make sens out of this. They need to hate people, they usually pick the easiest target aka minorities.
But the local version is not supposed to be censored...? I've asked it questions about human rights in China and got a fully detailed answer, very critical of the government, something that I could not get on the web version. Are you sure you were running it locally?
This. It sounds like a cynical answer, but it's ultimately the correct and most concise one.
