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.

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.

Nah. I don’t think Bytedance sells. The big enchilada is the source code and that’s not getting sold because there’s 6 Billion more people they can get on the app.
