If the parents are being deported anyway, why don’t they let their children go with them?

Key part missing from article is what happened to their parents. Presumably, if prosecution is honest, the kids were in fact not born here, and so are not citizens by birthright. Cruelty and unfairness as a point, does not make facts relevant. Were parents abducted without opportunity to take their children? If no due process, or even DOJ intervention in cases, then its not the jack booted thug ordered to send a parent to a death camp, that will pause the order to go pick up the kids from school, not that the parents would want kids in the death camp.

Story is horrible. Maybe the answer to what happened to parents would make it seem less horrible on US fascism angle. Maybe the fascism is so intense that no one is told what happened to the parents.

Judge: I will help you since you have no lawyer.

4 year old girl: No habla Engles

following translated:

Judge: Where were you born?

girl: I don't remember. I was too young.

Judge: If you show me a US birth certificate or SS ID card, I can help you not be deported.

girl: uhhh... what? what is words?

Emigrating to internet friendly country is something I'd do in a week. I guess sharing someone else's internet, or account identity is an option.

Containers as cheap home starting points in US is also a function of this dynamic. No need to ship empty ones back to Asia.

I don't like purity for purity's sake, but maybe at 545% tariffs, this starts to be an out.

3d printing lugs for carbon fiber, bamboo, metal tubes and beams, and fitting in regular motors, electronics, bearings, belts is a good/best path to reduced BOM and high performance/value.

Did you know that many red states get a little hurricaney? Hurricanes are getting worse, and having your private insurance cover FEMA services is not going to reduce your premiums. But maybe if the scavenger race fights with the looter race, it is all by design.

TO WHO? ~~Aqua~~ Dustman????

1930 tariffs made dust bowl worse, because there was less planting from less exports.

Apparently there was no new announcement. Just that some tariffs were already at 100% before the 145% of additional ones.

Clean coal is a technology that has only been implemented once in North America. In Saskatchewan. It costs an additional $10/watt, and so as uneconomical as on budget nuclear, and only captures 65% of emissions (but pollution included). Far more emission reductions is possible with solar and 2 hours of battery, at around $1/watt, and simply running the coal plant less than 35% of the year. But at any rate, that is the very narrow definition of clean coal.

Coal power is dirty. Mining is a health hazard, pollution is too. Global warming not going to help.

They definitely have to stop announcing tariffs effective in next few hours. Maybe a 2 year effective date announcement allows "progress" in US reindustrialization with CHIPS act type subsidies.

China's desire for unification is not directly a threat. US sponsored divisiveness in Taiwan is meant to control Taiwanese into unreasonable acts. Current President is US puppet, but parliamentary majority is against suicide. Provoking the destruction of Taiwan (which US promises to do if it/Taiwan were to lose against China), comes from Taiwanese declaration of some kind.

China’s consistent copyright theft is not the USA’s choice.

These are 20 year old accusations. China today is innovating on its own.

Do not spout lies that portray china as innocent please.

You could have criticisms of China, and any other state. if the purpose of any criticism is to manufacture an enemy, then it is automatically disingenous, compared to a request for them to do better, and then instead of repeating 20 or 40 year old criticism, having a willingness to notice if the problem behaviour has ceased.

You're suggesting that innocent vs guilty of your accusations deserves an enemy status. Is US guilty of worse? If so, you should help China overthrow US government. Most usually, hate comes before throwing any and all shit you can imagine against your hate target.
