Didn't they already do that with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in 2021? Or are you referring to other regions of CCP-occupied China?


It looks like that has blocked about $100M in goods shipped from Xinjiang since inception -- about 1/3 of shipments from that region and less than 1% total imports from China in that period. I'm not sure that token amount counts as taking it seriously.


That would be great! Do Apple first.


Clearly long past time to fire Tim, Phil, and Craig.


Those are the two that seem like pure poison.

I assure you that we all got the allusion that you're making, but given the quote that you're replying to I think that perhaps you personally should not be allowed to own a dog.


Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?


As a European, you almost certainly have better representation than most Americans. We haven't expanded the House of Representatives since 1929. We're approaching a million constituents per rep, an extreme outlier among OECD countries:

The reason Americans no longer trust Congress is because the Colonists had better representation per constituent (on paper) in British Parliament. Early U.S. representation was in line with Nordic countries today.

Also the US following UK's FPTP system inevitably creates a 2-party system, you simply cannot have just 2 parties representing all of the political spectrum and needs of a nation of 340 million people, and very diverse people at it, across a vast swath of land.

Even though most Continental Europe elections end up being a race between 2 major coalitions at least there's fluidity in the composition of these coalitions, sometimes the right-wing coalition embraces the centrist parties, or the greens, sometimes it's the left-wing coalition, this fluidity creates a lot more of nuance and compromise in politics rather than choosing Team Blue vs Team Red. FPTP is a dumb election system.


Yes, but voting is up to the States. They're free to adopt RCV, as we have here in Maine. Or ban it, as in five other States.

But only Congress can repeal the Apportionment Act of 1929.

The 118th Congress is on pace to pass the fewest acts ever. Will they hit double digits?

Clearly, though unfortunately, we need more engineers to take pay cuts and become lawyers.


Probably just a coincidence that Kutcher was hospitalized twice for pancreatitis after adopting Jobs' diet in preparation for the role.
