Best Buy says Trump's tariffs could force it to raise prices for consumers
  • Deport every? No one to work the jobs most refuse to do... Means food, housing, and other shortages which makes prices go up.

    I agree with everything except this. If companies can't find workers, it will force them to review the pay and benefit to attract people. If it still doesn't work, the government will certainly allow immigrants to enter legally for those jobs.

    Right now companies are employing immigrants with shitty pay and without any benefits. It is slavery.

    In France many illegal immigrants are working in delivery jobs. People are not against doing those jobs but the conditions are shitty. So illegal immigrants are doing those because they don't have a choice and maybe it is way better than in their original country. But that is exploitation and slavery.

  • Anon visits the Philippines
  • I was in some European city and there is one Chinese restaurant serving hot pot. So I wanted to try it. I ordered and selected the items I want for around 50€. The waitress asked me : "is that all? Do you want the menu?". So I was wondering if I didn't order enough. At the end, what I ordered was enough for at least 3 people. I was in a table for 4 people and it was full with all the dishes. The waitress then asked me if she need to bring a bowl of rice!

    They brought the sauces and there was garlic on the plate. The odor ruined the whole meal for me. I couldn't eat most of it and I was disappointed as I don't like wasting food.

  • Donald Trump vows to impose 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico
  • What are the benefits for him? All that he do is for his own good. At first I thought he was saying lies so that he can get elected. But now that he is elected, what will he gain from doing that? Won't American suffer so does his assets?

  • The tipping culture is very rooted in Americans. I was at restaurant in Europe and there was a customer (certainly American). He ate during 30 minutes or less, the waiter was nice but he wasn't doing it for tips and the customer only saw him when he ordered the food and at payment. The prices are high end.

    When he paid he was surprised that there was no tipping options (unfortunately we started seeing them in some European countries) and asked him to pay another 10€ as a tip.

  • Anon creates a business plan
  • Waiters are against it as they may get way more than if they were paid by the owner. Also they automatically get raises when menu prices increases.

    What blows my mind is that American do tip everywhere and also give cash to some workers at the end of the year (mail man, garbage man,.. Etc).

  • Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will
  • That's how it works. Imported products will be much expensive and local products will be able to compete and people will buy them instead of the ones coming from China.

    That is the theory, but are there local products for the things that the US is importing? I don't think so. Also local companies may just align their prices with the imported stuff.

  • How good is Lemmy dealing with censorship and why does the sign-up process on lemmy.ml involve having to copy a sentence from "The Principles of Communism"?
  • Censorship still exists in lemmy. I got banned from an instance just because I said some things that weren't aligning with far left ideas. I was one of the active members of that instance (we were very few) on non political communities.

    I made a political post and one of the administrators wasn't OK with it and started insulting me and then banned me from the whole instance.

  • [Mercredi CinéSéries] Qu'avez-vous vu cette semaine?
  • J'ai fini la première saison de Taxi. Je n'ai pas trouvé un truc qui me fait accrocher et je vais certainement regarder autre chose. Je déteste le personnage de Devito. Friends a peut être copié le personnage de Joey de cette série, il y a un personnage qui veut devenir acteur et un autre personnage idiot et italien.

    Je suis presque à la fin de la première saison de Gomorrah et elle est pas mal.

  • Quelle est la chose que vous avez achetée et qui a vraiment amélioré votre vie ?

    Bonjour,

    Je regardais récemment mon compte Amazon et j'ai vu que ma Kindle a maintenant 10 ans. Peut être c'est mon seul achat qui a 10 ans et est toujours là. Je l'ai acheté quand j'étais étudiant et pourtant 150€ n'était pas une petite somme pour moi à cette époque. Je ne me rappelle pas pourquoi je l'ai acheté car j'avais accès aux livres de la bibliothèque universitaire. Peut-être je voulais lire des bouquins en anglais qui n'y était pas disponibles.

    J'ai lu beaucoup de livres grâce à elle, ça m'a permis d'apprendre l'anglais et l'espagnol et je n'avais plus à faire des heures dans le bus pour chercher un bouquin qui se trouve dans une bibliothèque à l'autre bout de la ville.

  • Many rich people are "donating" to avoid paying taxes and it another way for marketing. You are the proof of that, you are defending and promoting her.

    Billionaires like her are the reason we have poverty and charity associations

  • I thought food is way cheaper in the US but considering the taxes and tip, the prices seems similar to Europe.

    What type of cake are we talking here? Industrial or home baked? Also what size? I am talking about a cake of 6 portion of around 200g.

  • me🎂irl
  • I was raised poor so even now that I can afford it, I feel something forbidding me from buying cake. That and knowing that I gain weight very easily and it takes me lots of hours to get raid of it.

    Need some advice to increase my storage capacity

    I have an old computer that I use for storing and streaming my media. It has an attached external drive. I would like to increase my storage and build something that could be extensible to at least 100TB. I am not worried about backup.

    I looked and I think I need a HDD rack or enclosure. Some people gave me links to good deals on ebay and some other sellers but they are based on the US and shipping fees are high. I saw this HDD enclosure and it seems to be what I am searching but I don't if they are good.

    Do you have some advices for me?
