Don’t try to explain technology to them. It won’t work.

Are you sure it’s not a big truck?

they’ll try to pass it anyway. if republicants lose majority, it’ll be a horrific couple of months as they try to ram and cram every piece of shit legislation they can think of through before the new session starts.

Probably best we just let them think they got one over on us.

At a guess, tariffs. “Tariffs” is also the answer to all the other questions.
I think they could order Visa / Mastercard / etc. to ban payments to that entity, but 99% of the cases there are ways around it, just ask Putin, he always knows a way to sell petrol to EU / US
