For years, Mackeys Ferry Sawmill in North Carolina depended on overseas buyers in China and Vietnam after domestic demand for premium hardwood declined. But when President Donald Trump launched his escalating trade war, the mill’s owners say the damage was immediate and ultimately irreversible. By July—just months after Trump declared his “Liberation Day” tariffs—they made the decision to shut the…

      You are allowed to block communities without announcing it to the world you know

      Also US conservatives getting their faces eaten is quite literally the only purpose of this sub’s existence

        Outside of America exists, yet this people think all communities on Lemmy are only USA specific, hence they post USA stuff only.

          The leopards in America happen to be feeding very well in the past year, so naturally there’s a lot of posts from there.

          Be the change you want to see. Find some non-American examples to post.

      It’s the most news-worthy country at the moment. The only superpower in the world is turning further and further into fascism and falling in power while still exerting its power on the world as China is rising. Yeah Israel is doing awful things but it’s doing it without repercussions, because the US is backing them and using its power to keep anyone from stopping it. All the biggest stories at least tangentially go back to the US right now. I’m sorry you don’t like it. Neither do I, but I assume you at least don’t live here from this post. Lucky you.

      Edit: didn’t realize this was leopardsatemyface, thought it was news but the point remains the same. Leopards are eating faces here far more than anywhere else. Let it be a lesson to all right wing people in Europe that nationalism is not good for a country. Especially not for the common people in the right wing.
