Nice, have a great trip! Domestic all the way, I backpacked Ireland following a trail of Guinness pints and was never disappointed. England is on my very long shortlist for sure.
that's exactly how it works. import companies are currently cancelling all the orders from China and other countries currently en route and Americans are going to pay a lot more for whatever imported stock is left within the country and then there won't be anything from other countries in the US after a week or two: produce, meat, electronics, TP and so on.
correct.
there's also the maybe more important scientific literature ban that is forcing scientists like those who make sure crops grow correctly in the US out of their jobs because they aren't able to talk about the gender of the seeds they are breeding.
or the physicists who can't talk about the "status" of the material they're using, because that word is banned.
countries don't want to buy American military equipment anymore because they rightly cannot trust the US, which is a huge loss of revenue.
the disastrous policies already enacted are going to economically and socially hobble the country for decades.
the scientist who goes to another country rather than the US to practice physics, agriculture, anthropology, anything, that's an entire career of innovation and scientific benefit lost to the US.
and those scientists are already avoiding the us, that's already happening.
the market numbers are the tip of the iceberg here.
A classroom assistant at the school i worked at. very hard-working, curious and funny guy who likes to learn things all the time, so we exchanged Chinese and English and hung out all the time for barbecue and hotpot and all that good stuff.
still friends more than a decade later even though I travel a lot; we got to meet up a few times when I visited Beijing last year and we still talk occasionally on wechat.
thanks, I did check that out when the developer posted it and it's definitely my backup if I can't figure out how to sync my feed.
very cool that they built and shared that.
I've been able to automate most social media posts, so I'm assuming there is a way to do it with lemmy and I'm just not technically minded enough to know how yet.
