It was literally a rejection based on the stated reason for using the provision they did. They basically said "this is the wrong form. you need to go back and get a different form".

They already said they had numerous other regulations to keep the tariffs going.

This just strikes down one. One.

You forgot the third option...which I think we have to admit is possible given how fucked up everything else is.

The bubble isn't allowed to burst. Every year the manufacturing capacity gets sold to the same 3 companies. Yes, other countries can meet the demand; but we're prohibited from buying from there entirely or it's made cost-prohibitive. They won't go back to dumb devices...but just dumb-terminals. They'll still put the tablet in your fridge; but you'll have to pay for compute. All while making sure your toilet plays an add before it unlocks the lid.

Spotted the commie.

Some day we'll just null-route China in to oblivion where they deserve.

I mean...I know of people who literally don't even answer their own phone. I mean..yes...they do; but the phone they answer is number that's known to only one other person...and no one gets to *that* person without getting through an answering service.

Outside of conference calls...I don't many rich and powerful people who actually call. It's always the assistant or someone else. They don't really care about the assistants outside of difficulty in keeping them over call screening....despite the fact their businesses were largely built on giving us reasons for call screenings.

I have no sympathy for them.

Now if some subscriber decides to sign up on iOS....Apple takes a chunk of MY earnings....despite the fact I'm pretty much anti-Apple.

And I can't block iOS transactions because Apple said so.

It's pure stupidity that people allowed this to happen by supporting the company and voting for people that allowed this to happen.

If you're a creator...you're basically forced in to it if you want to use Patreon now. If a person decides to use the ios app to sign up; guess what...they're taking a chunk of your subscription. Your only choice is to...not use Patreon. You're not afforded the option to block iOS subscriptions either. It is entirely up to your subscribers as to if they let Apple fuck you over.

And people...are fucking stupid. They won't care. They will do the easiest goddamn thing for them.

It literally doesn't matter what brand you buy anymore. They're all made from the same 3 factories.

Next...I hope they ban people over the age of 70 from driving.

I don't give a shit what condition they're in. Once they hit seventy...off the roads.

As the scum of the earth.

It's actually why I order less. It was nice when I ordered from a place...and they knew where I lived..how to get here. They'd been here before.

Uber and Lyft people can't find my fucking house with me in the car. They lack the concept of not everyone lives right up on the road. My neighbors have had a lot of meals...on me...because they just accepted the deliveries. DoorDash is the worst...they know my name so they can get all my orders. At least with UberEats they don't know the pin and usually...they don't get the food and then the guy calls me and I have to tell him..."turn around...see the lights. i'm back here...you know..the road by the mailbox with my house number and not the one across the fucking street."

I don't have things delivered to my house anymore. Period.

A better solution would be to just require the ISPs to block Cloudflare.

They're not a problem if you wall them off.

People....have options. You can pull out the phone and get something delivered from just about anyplace...even if they don't offer delivery. Pizza Hut is now just using doordash. 20 years ago...I could have pizza or Chinese food delivered. That was it. Most people's delivery options were limited.

Now you've got people literally waiting in their cars to go grab something and deliver it to you. The only thing that happened to pizza is it lost it's delivery advantage.

TV's are that cheap *now*. But they still need RAM...which we all know is in short supply and soon likely won't be available at all.

So there goes the cost savings.

Don't forget tariffs.

I think we're about to see end of the cheap electronics. The days of sub $600 laptops and $200 TV's are gone.

And there won't be a PC market to return to. I think 2 to 5 years of this and no one's going to be buying a PC.

Which is what they want.

We're only going to lose in this. The days of cheap PCs doing what you want are done. We're going to return to dumb terminals where we get to pay for controlled access.
