I saw a tech forum thread with almost 100% Americans condemning the protests in France.
Americans who have no universal healthcare, barely any paid holidays, broken trade union rights, tertiary education only for the rich, compromised food standards, employee rights that don't exist, a culture of mass shootings once a week, and an education and media system that led to 70% believing saddam was behind 9/11.
Someone has completely cut and removed the cable between the charging plug and the charger.
Crazy.
I guess there's a copper shortage.
