6 months agoCan you imagine what we would think if Heads of State discussed banning Twitter back in the day?
Some totalitarian countries did ban Twitter and other social networks years ago as part of their subjugation of their citizens.
Nowadays, banning Xitter (and Bluesky and Facebook/Instagram) would be liberating their citizens.
That’s right!
But if I stopped buying from AliExpress, I would have to purchase the exact same thing from Amazon or eBay at 10 times the price, and if I boycott the US companies as well, I would need to buy the exact same thing at 100 times the price from Bunnings!
(Meanwhile AliExpress sellers are reselling the exact same thing that can be purchased in bulk from AliBaba at 1/10th the price)
