The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.

The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.

    and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.

    Capitalists never play fair, lol.

    Can’t wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.

    They don’t realize there’s a trade war going on and they’re just useful idiots in it.

        And at the same time if you preach so much free market economics then you should just learn to live with it and don’t buy the product if you don’t like it

          Anything from China is anything but free market. Chinese companies are still owned by the state who practice state capitalism.

          Part of maintaining a free market is regulations that punish anti-competitive behaviour.

            Sucks for the rich, but I, the average consumer do not care about what some rich guy’s stocks are doing. I will always go for the cheaper, more accessible, better product.

      Nah. I don’t think Bytedance sells. The big enchilada is the source code and that’s not getting sold because there’s 6 Billion more people they can get on the app.

      There are several right-wing groups eager to buy it, which is 100% why they’re going after it.

      Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. They’re going to control all of it soon.

      Din they’ll be requiring expensive identity verification for online accounts to make the fediverse financially unsustainable.
