If you say so, Hasbara rag.
A US law passed in 2022 banned the import of products produced in China’s Xinjiang region unless there’s clear evidence that there was no forced labor in their supply chain.
Guilty until proven innocent, which the US wants not to be proven, so it won’t be.
Of all the examples of media bias you could have chosen, this is the most tepid.

Great cinematography. Cave diving is insanely dangerous.
If Windows or MacOs had a variety of distributions, Valve would similarly limit support to a practicable number.
The real reason the US government sanctioned Xinjiang products was to make the people of Xinjiang suffer economically, to try to further destabilize the region.
The US funded and helped organize, radicalize, and train the terrorists that attacked Xinjiang in the first place, in the hopes of destabilizing China and/or causing the Xinjiang region to break away. No one in the West seems to know about or remember the bombings, knifings, and vehicular slaughters that these domestic terrorists brought upon their own communities in Xinjiang around roughly 2008 to 2015.
The US doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the well-being of the Uyghur people any more than it gives a rat’s ass about the Palestinian people. When it pretends to care it’s nothing but propaganda.
Since around 2016 there’s been increasing domestic propaganda about an increasing amount of foreign propaganda. But it’s bullshit.
Firstly, this country isn’t a democracy and our votes hardly matter, so there’s little benefit to a foreign power in trying to shape domestic public opinion. And secondly, foreign governments already have a much more efficient & effective way of influencing the US: by bribing (a.k.a. funding the political campaigns of and lobbying) politicians and bribing high-level government appointees.
So then why are we increasingly being fed this propaganda? It started as a partisan project relating to the 2016 election. But now it’s also bipartisan/deep state project for the purposes of censorship and suppression for various purposes, one of which being the new cold war. For the purposes of manufacturing consent.
Countries are actually doing very little to meddle in US elections, and so what little they’ve done has been ineffective so far.
All the noise around this is propaganda; its projection of what the US does to countries around the world all the time. But many Democrats still believe this BlueAnonsense.
As Genocide Joe has been saying for decades, they need a location the USA can safely use to protect its interests in the region, and its primary interest is oil.
As Sec. of State Alexander Haig said, “Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security” (actually it houses a number of American soldiers and one or more military bases). A major goal of “national security,” of “full spectrum dominance”, of the bipartisan neoconservative New American Century, is to control of the world’s energy supply.
“National security” has fuck-all to do with our security, and there are two gaping holes in downtown Manhattan to prove it. Sept. 11th was blowback from decades of US adventurism in West & Central Asia.
He really was the 1938 Man of the Year.
Another surprisingly ignoble award is the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to the likes of Henry Kissinger, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, and the Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama.
Of course bourgeois democracy doesn’t produce satisfactory outcomes for the working class. It doesn’t represent the will of the working class, but rather that of the capitalist class.
That’s not really how it works. The federal debt and deficit aren’t what we’re told they are, and inflation isn’t caused by what we’re told, and there is no risk of hyperinflation.
Then why does the US government constantly do it? Are they stupid? Or does it indeed help the US as the neocolonial hegemon? ‘How to Hide an Empire’ Shines Light on America’s Expansionist Side

I couldn’t say how it got there, but it’s a standard & common Unix pattern and unlikely to be malicious. It will have no effect if the ~/.bashrc.d
directory doesn’t exist. If it does exist, then each file in the directory will be sourced.
This is a terrible metric. If kWh is too abstract for people, maybe put it in terms of how much water that energy could boil, starting from room temperature at sea level.
I don’t hate the IRS. They don’t write the tax code, and it’s not their fault that they’re underfunded. That’s all on Congress.
This might upset a few people, though: Your Taxes Pay for Nothing
