America is where free markets rule and products succeed or fail by being better or worse than their competitors. Unless you’re a foreign company or you don’t bribe enough politicians. Then you will literally have laws passed that ban you from selling your product or even from owning it.
why the fuck do I live here. honestly this is a stupid petty thing to consider as a tipping point but this country is heading in a very stupid direction. At least I could be like “well obviously this place sucks but China is doing cool stuff” but now they’re trying to cleave the world in two and trap me on the boring fascist side of it.
Idk about you but I’m stuck here. There’s no real way I can get out of this fucking place. I have no education nor vast sums of cash to buy my way out. My best case scenario is finding a foreigner to marry and gtfo that way but I’m pretty sure my partner wouldn’t be too happy about that
Edgy 12 year olds when they learn that the Nazis aren’t a bunch of funny, misunderstood teenagers and 20-something’s on 4chan and are lined up to be executed because they watched porn once
Lol I’m pretty sure the US police and military are filled with DJI drones cause it’s the best consumer grade you can buy
Yeah, this is gonna impact so many industries. If I thought lawmakers were smart, i would suspect there’s another drone company in the wings waiting to swoop in for the profits, but they’ve convinced me otherwise.
Is this just banning a particular brand of drones because they’re a Chinese company?
One of these sections, H.R. 2864, or the Countering CCP Drones Act, was added to the bill and can be found under Section 1722. For those who are just hearing about this for the first time, it would remove DJI’s ability to get approval from the FCC, banning any future drones from being imported and possibly grounding current drones.
Yes.
Isn’t this another instance of “You’re not allowed to make laws specifically targeting one company” like why TikTok is probably gonna win their court case? Or are they relying on the Supreme Court deciding that’s fine with the TikTok one?
Tiktok is not going to win the court case. Laws exist to serve capital.
Yes exactly. Laws exist to serve capital, they’re not going to make an anti-business decision like that. That’s why the constitution says you can’t write a law targeting one company. Because laws exist to serve capital. I will genuinely be shocked if TikTok loses their case
The capital they’re serving here is domestic tech moguls who are drooling to buy TikTok at forced-sale prices
I’m guessing they have some kind of provision blocking Chinese owned companies in general, but it’d be funny as fuck if they just reincorporated as a new, near identical company and kept on.
the Countering CCP Drones Act
Damn why does the US hate me so much?
Seriously tho, wtf is that name lol.
CCCP Drones Act
Dick jerk insanity
It’s like my CPC handler always says, “Learn to hack, learn to drone.”
Yankees are just banning everything China aren’t they? Can’t compete, so they ban.
so… they’re gonna give me my money back then right?
At this rate America’s going to ban fucking flat screen TVs
banning the DJI
It’s not the dow jones
