Like garlic

until it spreads like wildfire

Try to find garlic that isn't from China

ye, food is a pain

we're locked into this cycle where the poor suppress the poor because they can't afford to eat otherwise

Especially when you shop at like... walmart

It's hard to find

almost everything related to gaming is owned by china

Yeah exactly

Clothes though? Easier

But expensive

I just buy secondhand these days anyway

Yes and yes

Odd, I have some French garlic cloves in my fridge

Same with furniture

the question is: whats more important? hating china or buying cheap shit? can you afford to be principled?

We have a place called Snt Vinnies here

WAY better than goodwill

Is America taking steps to stop China from backwards-engineering American products and selling the ripoffs for considerably cheaper?

most people can't afford to be

@Scythe no

I've gotten a few nearly 100$ pieces of clothing for like 5$

@dani(el) exactly

:(

americans benefit from chinese products

@Farunel FUCK YES THRIFT SHOPPING

they're not gonna stop them lol

@Syenite what's with the garlic thing? Mine always seems to come from France or Italy not China

@Scythe America actually has lower standards than China for the products you can sell. So often China makes much lower quality goods for export

hell, every business here outsources to china

Goodwill is a ripoff tbh

When I was working there

not even a charity either

Uh huh

General rule is 1/3 of original price

But we were just guessing

@Sassy Peach look up garlic prison scandal in China

And you had people watching you too

So if you underpriced anything theyd have you reprice

14 carriers can get 196 people infected. 196 can get 2,744 infected. 2,744 can get 38,416 infected. after the chinese new years it's going to be in the Millions.
