>>The Oct 7th attack didnt come from Jordan or any of the surrounding countries. It came from the people Israel hasnt allowed to have any kind of self determination for well over half a century.

hezbollah has been launching missiles at northern israel out of lebanon for decades. at a certain point you have to admit that these people just really, really hate the jews

this is moronic. the bit you're quoting says that vaccines so far do not provide lifetime immunity as infections by the viruses themselves don't provide lifetime immunity. that doesn't mean the vaccines aren't effective, it just means they don't last forever so it's difficult to establish durable herd immunity with them.

what do you think happens when an importer can't (or refuses to) cover a tariff at the port? the goods aren't released to the importer, certainly. the goods are held by customs and either returned or, if the exporter won't take them back, auctioned off (or maybe destroyed, depending). the importer maybe gets fined and their business sure as shit suffers cause the exporter won't work with them anymore, but yeah it definitely happens. didn't used to happen much, certainly, but jacking tariff rates up to 150% or so percent out of nowhere makes this shit much more common than it used to be.

like, if i'm a bike manufacturer and i got a 3 million dollar shipment of my bikes coming over and while the boat is in transit i find out trump just jacked tariffs up on my bikes 150%, where the fuck am i gonna find 4.5 million extra dollars to pay the duty 2 days from now when it shows up?
