I'm guessing the Chinese diet doesn't have as much corn syrup in it.

It's mocking Trump and MAGA's fantasy. For the workers it's providing them with work that is unpleasant, poorly paid and painful. For the factory owners it is ending up with staff that just aren't going to be productive.

As for toiling for a pittance: Trump is trying to devalue the dollar and erode workers rights in a race to the bottom. Apart from the fact that, as others here have pointed out, the endgame would be automation the intermediary stage is pushing those in precarity and poverty into jobs that don't benefit them in any meaningful way.

But the Chinese, being somewhat keener students of human nature, have distilled those arguments into thirty seconds of comedy gold.

KeePassXC can do this as well. I had no idea until I saw a post on here where someone mentioned it. Here's the documentation.

A site-blocking law would let copyright owners "request, in court, that Internet service providers block access to websites dedicated to sharing illegal, stolen content," he said. Rivkin claimed that in the US, piracy "steals hundreds of thousands of jobs from workers and tens of billions of dollars from ~~our economy~~ rich people's yacht money, including more than one billion in theatrical ticket sales."

'Make it illegal' is always a cheaper option 'than spend money to implement a solution that will actually work.'

Dell are shit. It was a good day when the last Dell in the family was switched out for Macs.*

*I don't like Macs either but I could plausibly refuse to support them on the basis that I didn't know how they worked and the hardware is all locked down.
