I don't see Muslim mentioned anywhere in their comment - they've said theocracy.

There's plenty of corruption in the UK. Are you going to advocate to break the UK union as well?

Can you provide any source on Victoria Starmer being an Israeli. I was searching and couldn't find anything to support that claim.

Fallout Tactics obviously.

Taxes are paid at the time of sale, or when profits are generated. Tariffs are prepaid. Companies that import raw materials and goods need large amounts of cash to pay the tariffs at the port.

This makes tariffs profoundly more expensive.

Tariffs are also imposed on foreign trade, which doesn't apply in this meme, as it was a British colony at that time.

Life is only better in China economically (even this is debatable), but people care about many other aspects of life as well. The limited liberties that the Chinese people had in 1999 are disappearing quickly.

Seems like people still don't know the difference between tax and tariffs.

All modern cars are a major privacy issue to the consumer. This though is a guideline to employees of high risk companies, who believe that China wants their data specifically.

I don't disagree with you (apart from maybe $5k being a pocket change in Russia), we need to reduce inequality and bring back financial security in our societies.

There seems to be a small misunderstand on your part though - this baby bonus is not trying to increase fertility, at least not directly. The main goal is to reduce child mortality. The main beneficiaries of these bonuses are low income families, and for them every little helps. It's also just one part of the support system, as all of the countries from the article have other welfare systems to accompany.

The rest of the world thinks that the USA is weird, yes. But if I was an American, I would take any little help that I can.

What are you arguing here exactly? Are you saying that $5000 are negligible to parents?
