Last I saw it was reported around 17 hours per phone on labor. They won’t get away with less than $20/hr plus benefits here. So that’s around $22.50/hr. ~$380 of labor per phone just on construction. Every individual part/material will have to pay a tariff coming into the country as well unless you are going to make those here as well at the higher costs. 100% of their profit margins would be eaten up. So there are 2 options, raise the price by 50% to keep their profits, or exploit cheap labor elsewhere. They made their choice to move to India previously and India faces a 27% tariff. They keep their profits higher and prices lower by not moving manufacturing of the phone here.

So most of ivermectin followers came from Rogan being an unintelligentual influencer with followers. I’m curious now that he has finally started finally breaking from Trump’s suck my cock like a proper republican rhetoric, if maybe he’ll start to recognize and bash these 1/100 fake science bullshitrrs they’ve gone out of their way to promote their ludicrousness we will be better off. It’s sad to say, but America can be saved by ~10 influencers or Rupert Murdock not being a murderous piece of shit for 1 day. That said. If you know Murdoch’s family, tell them they should all hang for me. Every member of that family is guilty of murder. Not just 1 murder either. Millions. If they want their freedom, they need to do the right thing.
Just because they didn’t fire the gun, doesn’t mean they were not behind it. Just about every hate crime in America in the past 15 years is Fox’s fault. If Murdoch cared about his family he’d shut down Fox and never set foot in America again.
9/10 school shootings, I can safely say. Murdoch. Hang the fucker

The entire entertainment industry would die. Movies, music, theater… Dead. Advertising/marketing is what makes them profitable

And here I thought mother nature was pissed off because we were fucking over the environment. It’s probably because we are fucking over the environment for absolutely shit products.

Wait you don’t just pull the lever you have to pull a rip cord under the lever? Or am I viewing that wrong. Who would think that’s a good idea, just attach the wire to the lever so it unlocks like a normal door handle. That’s some seriously bad engineering.
So they paid taxes and couldn’t collect social security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Now they are being punished for it. Clearly it wasn’t about them paying their part.

Nah that sounds like a hardware issue. Software should never dictate whether a door opens. Hell we have laws that require a manual emergency release from inside of trunks (many require it be lighted I believe as well). I don’t see how a hardware could be allowed to rely on software to open a door and be legal.
- LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs14·3 months ago
Well they may not have to defy federal law. Could be a good faith deal. Where if California imports something the tariffs are still paid by the ordering companies, but California gives some kind of kick back or assurance that they will remain a better trading partner for a lesser retaliatory tariff. If say China says no tariffs on California, it would make many companies flock to doing all business that ships to China go through California. Making their industry possibly not hurt as bad, or even thrive.
If states start to see they are hurting much more than California, more states may flock to the ideals that are proping up said trade.
It’s all very big IF’s

Or else what? They are still fired? Strange way to manage anything
Not always the greatest fun. I got “pulled over” walking home one time. I was cutting through a plaza as my complex was behind it. Thankfully in Florida it isn’t illegal to be drunk in public, it’s only illegal to be disorderly or a threat to yourself/others. Which makes sense to me, if you don’t have an open container and aren’t yelling at strangers, walking home is the best option many times. That said it was also ruled years ago in Florida that having a bag of mushrooms in your pocket isn’t illegal. As the courts rules the standard person cannot discern whether or not a mushroom is psychosomatic… Thus people should be able to walk around with foraged or store bought mushrooms as it’s their freedom to enjoy them.

So Trump starts mining company for Bitcoin as they announced. Then once they have a decent amount they start investing all the gold from Fort Knox into Bitcoin as previously stated by the white House to inflate prices. Then uses the money for illegal bribes with anonymous accounts? Something like that I assume

Oh I’m sure they aren’t great people. They make most of their money off swindling insurance companies for huge settlement offers due to work/car injuries. That said, if you’re trying to get a huge settlement from Walmart, they are probably a good bet though. Also I know they turned down a case years ago when my dad went to them about his mother. She had surgery where there was no cartilage left in her ankle. They decided to screw her ankle to her foot essentially making it unable to move but reduce the pain. When she was in recovery they kept forcing her to get up and walk on it and she kept saying it hurt to much. Weeks into the rehab they said she wasn’t trying to put in the work. Then after a lot of arguing we finally got them to do new X-rays. Of course they found hairline fractures around the screws they placed. The insurance company/Medicaid and what not all said they wouldn’t cover any rehab time after the fractures were found because that time was used up during the period they were trying to force her to walk on a botched surgery. Morgan and Morgan turned down the case, and she reverse mortgaged her house to cover the rehab time. America at its finest

Morgan and Morgan is from Florida, they might be the largest firm in the world and take cases for improper firings. Usually they take their cases on the basis of you won’t pay anything unless you win. I’m sure they’d love that case
