House passes critical aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan along with a TikTok ban - Lemmy.World

The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel. The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.

and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.

Capitalists never play fair, lol.

Can’t wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.

They don’t realize there’s a trade war going on and they’re just useful idiots in it.

TikTok is cancer regardless of who owns it.

And at the same time if you preach so much free market economics then you should just learn to live with it and don’t buy the product if you don’t like it

Anything from China is anything but free market. Chinese companies are still owned by the state who practice state capitalism.

Free market for me but not for thee.

Yes, there is a trade war.

Don’t be naive about NSA and US propaganda/surveillance.

There doesn’t need to have NSA propaganda when China themselves say they are state capitalists and allow billionaires to flourish.
