at least constantly struggling for recognition, and are exploited as night shift workers in the emerging industry.

This reminds me a bit of Reg Shoe, leading dead rights activist in Ankh-Morpork.
Of course the Discworld is more funny, less grimdark, compared to your ideas.

It's like people still don't know about Schrems II or the Cloud Act.

Or they somehow seriously think that the EU-US Data Privacy Framework resolves the issues that killed the EU–US Privacy Shield?

In my org email went to shit after they outsourced it and lost the institutional knowledge. Now we suddenly have random things happen, like a second layer of quarantine appearing, and nobody can explain it. Any support request is copy pasted forward and backward to the outsourcing provider. If the outsourcing provider's response makes no sense it's forwarded to you internally none the less, and without comment.

My colleagues tell me that back in the nineties we were running an X.400 email gateway in this very company before it was clear that Internet email would be the one to win the protocol wars. We were at the forefront of email developments then.

And we're still a god damn tech company. We're a registry (not registrar), network provider, security services provider, cloud provider, etc. But email is now apparently too hard for us, it's a sad state of affairs.

Worth to mention that all the babies had to be born alive.

As in, only the alive ones counted, or a single stillbirth would invalidate your entire record?

If you're not informed and take Trump at his word, I can see how you might end up thinking the tariffs were a country-to-country transaction, like literally China paying the USA.

In that case you wouldn't necessarily arrive at the conclusion that the cost has to be passed on, along the value chain.

But on the other hand I don't have a good track record of estimating what uninformed people who don't care to seek information think...

I guess the treat vector would be that they'd be Magicking Her Into A Lesbian

Job well done lads.

Hahaha the rest was funny, but somehow that tipped me over the edge, the image of the cabal of lesbians referring to each other as lads.

Who are you even replying to? What is this comment about?

It looks like you're both laughing at @HalfSalesman@lemm.ee but also quoting a different comment supporting his stance.

Yes, then you only pay tariff for the powder, for the big jar, and the transpacific shipping of the big jar. That's what I meant by "as far as it was packaged in China".

I hope these CEO's get their reckoning some way some day.

They seem to think it's all just business and cruelly wielding power is no issue, but I think they overestimate how isolated they are.

No need to do them next: "Altdeutscher Mops" is a thing already. I guess you'd call them "Old German Pugs" in English?

I feel like it's a CEO's job to care about all aspects of the company he is supposed to lead.
