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.
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.
TikTok is cancer regardless of who owns 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
Please show me an example where I
(If you don’t find one it’s because I never did.)
I think they were referring to the ones who voted to ban it
Exactly
Anything from China is anything but free market. Chinese companies are still owned by the state who practice state capitalism.
Free market for me but not for thee.
Yes, there is a trade war.
Don’t be naive about NSA and US propaganda/surveillance.
There doesn’t need to have NSA propaganda when China themselves say they are state capitalists and allow billionaires to flourish.
That’s not true at all. China has state owned businesses and private owned businesses. You think the Boeing and Microsoft locations in China are owned by the CCP?
If you’re being pedantic, you’re right, but Chinese companies are still Chinese state-owned-- which Tiktok is.
that is bs with regard to the facts.
Cry about it. I can taste your tears from here.
So you acknowledge that you’re disregarding facts and you’re telling them to cry about it?
No. There’s privately owned industry in China.
Of course you’d lie.
It will never cease to amaze me that people can have the full power of the Internet at their fingertips and have the wherewithal to not look something up before saying something stupid.
Don’t fall for the straw man.
It’s not a strawman, commie.
They meant the argument you were responding to, the obvious strawman, and not what you said.
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.
