But at least China has pledged to address the problem.

China pledges and promises all sorts of stuff....

They are basically one of the worlds greatest and most prolific liars too.....

Go over there and try to start a business (with them by force)....and see just how far promises made go for you.

Mail all the rotting meat to them.

Nah....just all the PORK, and associated liquids and blood.

And maybe air drop it rather than mail it....that'll get them where it hurts.

To me, that is basically an acoustic Stockholm syndrome. Motorcycles with their open engines are necessarily very loud to the rider. Like the hostages start to love their captor, motorcycle riders start to love the sound to cope with the fact that they can't flee it.

From that,I'm guessing you are not a biker.

And as the old saying goes..."..if I have to explain it to you....you wouldn't understand.."

That's now throwing shade at you, mind you.....it's just if you aren't of the biker mind, you likely won't "get it".

What about motorcycles?

Ugh....I dread the day when all you can get is a silent electric motorcycle....

Half the fun of one is the sounds and smells and vibrations it gives you....a visceral experience.

Oh wait, second hand EV prices have gone Up as people try to avoid paying high petrol prices

Must be a EU thing.

In the US, the used EV prices are still tanking (no pun intended)....you drive an EV off the lot here in the US, you are pretty much guaranteed to be close to upside down in it immediately.

Then walk - When people being up "I can't charge, I live in an apartment" as some sort of reason to not make EV's, I have to chuckle. I don't have space to put in a Dump truck, that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.

I know you jest....as that "walking" for most folks isnt' a viable option at all.

I think the main thing is....while there are significant number of folks that can NOT charge at home for various reasons, people should not be penalized for sticking with ICE vehicles which still server them quite well.

Regardless of whether you can afford it, how are you going to pay for your new phone when your bank card is on the old, broken/lost phone?

Well, I rarely buy anything as big/expensive as a smartphone with cash....I'd likely buy a new phone like I did with the one I lost...using a credit card.

While I think the phone only ATM card is stupid....we "do" still have credit cards in our wallets, no?

It counts because ICE officers are not supposed to have any authority over citizens unless they are interfering with legitimate operations

And...that is exaclty what has been happening with ICE...especially in the states up north where protesters switched from peaceful protest to interfering with officers trying to perform their duties....

Then tell me how awful the DSA is. Canadians I know all agree that self-proclaimed "centrist" Dems would fit just fine... in their CONSERVATIVE Tory party. And that Bernies *barely* left of center.

Err in the US we dont give fuck all what Canadian liberals think.....liberal there and in EU...have nothing to do with liberal / conservative here in the US.

And in the US, these latest Dems and DSA Dems are so far left we can barely see them anymore.

You choose not to acknowledge it because it's inconvenient to you.

That makes no sense....

I fully support our officers trying to enforce our immigration laws here in the US.

I can't understand why any US citizen would actually be against such.....

Citations please?

I find that high of a number hard to believe, but out of those...how many were guilty of impeding these agents ICE officers while they were carrying out their duty?

Detained and released doesn't really count....happens with regular police too.

DSA is not the Democratic Party.

Well, they are getting elected as Dems.....they seem to be having an undue influence on the Dem party, or at least the Dems in power seem to be worried about offending them by disagreeing with them....so....if it quacks like a duck....

Dishonest framing. That's not what ICE is about. All you people have to offer is dishonesty.

Funny..that's exactly what I've seen ICE doing...rounding up and deporting illegal aliens in the US.

That is their purpose under immigration law.

If it weren't for idiots out there violently protesting and impeding these agents in their duty....things would be doing smoother and US citizens would not have been getting hurt.

So, again...what do you have against our law enforcers enforcing immigration law.

The laws basically say, if you are NOT here legally, you need to GO.
