i think it's less about failing capitalism and more about eliminating competition for for high end smart phones since you can get iphone level quality phones at chinese prices.
my redmi was competitive with the $1k+ google pixel, but costed less than half; now it's an expensive paperweight.
They have a blacklist of Chinese phone imea numbers
this one hurts; i had to stop using my favorite redmi phone because american carriers have banned chinese phones.
don't forget: "rules based order" lol
i suspect that this bit of propaganda will stay with americans until the american empire falls.
Thanks but don't apologize for those asshats; they got what they deserved when their "True American" owners laid them all off but kept most of the Mexican workers (probably because they were cheaper labor).
Plus, the experience also convinced me to go to college and get my degree. Maintaining employment isn't easy these days but atleast the work is A LOT easier and the working conditions are A LOT better.
my first job was working under the table at my father's plastics factory and the intense level of anti-mexican racism from the workers made my sisters and i quit less than a week later; it makes me marvel at how anyone can organize anything from factory workers as well as how anyone can endure it for decades like my father did.
i also tried the same thing at my mom's dinner in food service and i quit the same day and for the same reason, but my sister made fantastic tips. lol
... All the patience in the world isn’t enough for some people until the right conditions are met.
getting smacked around the system is an EXCELLENT accelerator; ask me how i know. lol
the psyop is hidden away at the source level; where you have to put in a lot of work and time to discover it.
the new york times, for example, has been caught red handed manufacturing consent and propaganda as recently as a few weeks ago and they're cited over a dozen times in this article.
others should be easy to identifiable biased red flags for you like the U.S. Office of Director of National Intelligence.
only if you stay with the shitty instances
i hope you do; seeing it is a depressing reminder of how much americans think that exploitation like this is okay and even more depressing to see people exploited like this want to perpetuate it.
spoofing your imea is illegal in the united states, so i've been unable to find sufficient documentation on how to do it.
