Either way I want a stroke in there. Your way is just smellier.

We sent Boebert.
I would trade a dozen Boeberts for zero pandas.

Boebert and MTG as a bonus. They should be sent over on an oil tanker. What could possibly go wrong, besides them killing each other? Wrong for them, a better world.

We did just sign on to a shiny new high profile agreement with them for 2030 (or the next ten years..I can't remember)..but the thing is, they're set to hit the marks next year anyway before we proposed it. So it's an easy vic for them - in partnership with and flat out embarrassing the us. In the world of diplomacy, easy wins are currency.
Worth some pandas? Probably. They're overgrown racoons. China would trade any number of pandas for international cred. They can make new ones.

Contaminated eye drops linked to Mumbai Factory - FDA
https://www.boston.com/news/health/2023/...aturestack
I'm in the medical device manufacturing business. This factory in India is what we fear - a contract manufacturer focused only on cost with no care for patient safety. I could tell stories about dirt floors in a Chinese plant, live insects in supposed "clean rooms" in Mexico, fungal blooms in a Costa Rica plant...
The FDA visits us every other year or so. Some of us do the right thing.

While I agree, to a certain extent, that a business owner can refuse service...I mean, if they want to pass up the money that already proves they are stupid as a business owner. But holy shit...can we not be quite this big an asshole? I think this witch needs to be charged with hate speech. I can't figure out why anyone would want her services anyway - she's a jerk and her hair sucks.
Michigan Hair Salon That Told Trans Customers to Go to Pet Groomer Charged with Discrimination (msn.com)
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) has issued a charge of discrimination against a local hair salon owner for discriminating against transgender people.
According to the state agency, Traverse City hairstylist Christine Geiger is facing a discrimination charge after telling transgender people to seek services at a “pet groomer” rather than at her salon.

And now she gets to cry victim because she is incapable of seeing her blatant bigotry for what it is.

She clearly sees the nonbinary as subhuman.

If it's the boss Karen then who shows up when it demands to see the manager?
