RE: Success Porn to Poverty Porn

I feel that consumer protection is falling down everywhere now. It probably has something to do with the amount of international purchases. Back in the day, most things were coming from a few companies that had local bases in country - now, they are coming from all over the world from almost anonymous sources.

Damn I hate being put into chatbot service loops....

Yeah, that is a big problem, but I think a country can still provide good consumer protections on local products and services... potentially to the point where people prefer to shop local because of those protections.

Did you see that Trump added exemptions to the China tariffs... all the electronics :D

I did see that. I wonder if Tim Apple provided a fun little bribe for that.

I suspect there were a few kicking in on the bill.
