Canada isn’t under the jurisdiction of American law.

I think you may be on to something. That may be a better way to describe it.

If you consider taxing the rich. Unions and attacking companies as far right then sure. He’s always been far right. It sounds like you’ve never read about Vance and that’s why you don’t see the radical change from who he was to supporting Trump.

Vance actually had really good ideas until he went Trump. A mixture of far left and middle right politics. Now you never hear his working class ideas.

It’s hard to imagine this is the guy who said declare war on corporations

His mentor says hillbilly elegy was written to propel him into politics. So I find it hard to believe he wasn’t interested when that was the reason for the book

He just put an injunction in place which is common. It just means the case has to be decided first.

If he’s accusing them of venue shopping. I suspect he’s going to rule against them.

Used in the context you claim, it’s even more of an idiotic thing to say.

The company is being fined. It’s a real penalty. Since we don’t know how much product was sold, we don’t how punitive it is but damn, when the government gets a win you take it.

Well they should pick up a dictionary and learn what the word means.

Write off means write off the books. Otherwise it makes no sense as that the dictionary term for the phrase. You can’t write off a fine. It isn’t “written off”.

Real the whole paragraph. It’s idiotic talk

On a handful of products? Doubtful.

At least the government gave them a fine which is a step in the right direction. Country of origin is important to me. I buy based on those labels

Did they make 200 million selling those products ?

Really depends on the value of the products sold. The find should be double or triple that to have any impact.

Personally I avoid buying anything made in China. Too much risk if it’s something I’ll touch all the time. Too much lead and chemicals in their products.

Fines are not tax deductible. So no it’s not a cost of doing business.

I work in medium tech. Since they have to compete for talent. We get the high pay and work life flexibility. It’s much better than large tech. I would never go work for a Microsoft , Amazon or Google. Not worth it.

How weird since they sold it to him. Where do you think they want him to drink it?

Only if that job was remote because of the disability.

Otherwise, no.
