  • From article:

    Savanah Hernandez, filmed the dramatic exchange and posted it on X Tuesday.

    ‘Just watched 2 white liberals stop traffic and tell a mother who was begging to go to work, that illegals and their children are more important,’ she wrote.

    ‘I then asked them how they felt stopping a black woman from getting to work. They both laughed in our faces.’

    Britvec was especially sarcastic to the young mother, mockingly responding ‘Oh no, not work’ to her question of what would happen to her kid if she lost her job.

    When asked if he ‘cared about stopping a black woman from going to work’, Britvec smirked at the camera and admitted ‘no’.





  • Because the Trump Tax Plan includes a provision, Section 899, that hits back at foreign governments taxing U.S. companies with digital services taxes or the OECD’s global minimum tax. It lets the U.S. impose escalating surtaxes, higher withholding taxes, and remove exemptions for foreign banks, companies, and even central banks if they target American firms. The goal isn’t just to raise money, but to pressure those countries into backing off by making it costly to keep taxing U.S. businesses. It’s about using tax policy as leverage to stop the flow of U.S. corporate revenue into foreign treasuries and protect American economic interests.





  • A pair of entitled anti-ICE protesters blocking New York City traffic laughed in a pleading mother’s faced as she begged for them to move so she could get to work.

    And the protesters are probably on Lemmy! Def have the same attitude. Oh wait! Not many on Lemmy have to balls to actually leave their house tho, so nevermind. lmao

    Dude with the manbun looking high and laughing about a black woman not being able to go to work is the EXACT look of how I imagine most people on Lemmy look and act though.

    Your protests won’t change the policy at all. So keep laughing. :)
