Re: Haiti collapse
Maybe the D.R should start shoring up their border defenses and patrols 'just in case' then.

Re: Haiti collapse
The UN stepped in as a result of the 2004 Haitian coup d'état.
This is no different conceptually.
Do I expect anything to happen?
Probably not.

Re: Haiti collapse
Well, shit.
You have a gang leader telling the Prime Minister to resign, and possibly be able to cause it to happen.
Haiti needs direct military intervention at this point.

Translation; Netanyahu annoying the Haredim like this risks blowing his majority and forcing an election he seems doomed to lose. That might be the idea. It gives him, and his political party, a way out of the war, while leaving someone else to have to clean up the mess. But also lands Netanyahu wi...

It's very sad she felt the need to do this.
And to anyone going 'what took so long'. Well, maybe the palace was being decient and waiting until parents had explained everything to their young children before it appeared in the fucking newspaper!

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
My wife was watching something last night that said the real reason the US wants to ban TikTok is some rich asshole wants to own it, can't, so he's trying to get the government to ban it to force a sale.
No idea if that's true.

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
BUT, along your vein, the safer thing for the US government to do would be to declare 'any company working with TIKTOK, in any capacity, will be investigated for being an US Security threat'. (I can also see them 'any individual workng with Tiktok....) Now, instead of those nice legal protections e...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
That's how you get around government bans and blocks in the US and Canada (probably most of Europe too). Example - Contractor that owes the government money and they are garnishing your wages?

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
I would have thought the director of a corporation will be liable if the corporation is breaking the law, this seems like a strong disincentive to that approach. That's actually a complicated issue. I'm not sure of the legalities in the United States, as it's a patchwork of Federal and State laws. ...

And all you have to do is set up a third party company for billing purposes to bypass the ban. Guys it's fine, just set up a third party company now that the United States Congress has gone through the trouble of banning you specifically from operating in the US on national security grounds. It's e...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
Banning a website doesn't mean making it physically impossible to access. Most people won't be willing to bother with a VPN, and obviously it affects their ability to do business in the country in question. You'd be surprised how many people I know use VPNS for stuff. And all you have to do is set ...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
Banning Websites is virtually impossible. Even if you manage to get every ISP to agree to it, you'd also have to do that to VPNS. Since you can get a VPN from any country, you'd also have to start banning the VPNS that didn't co-operate, etc, etc, etc.
