a hard drive containing the master files to an avengers movie has drastically more value than the same drive unformatted.
there has broadly been a long standing exemption on cultural items and digital goods. that does not mean they are not goods.

streaming still buffers to your device. that is surely an "import", especially if you download a copy to work on.
but it's ultimately academic as the law he has been using to impose tariffs clearly exempts film and tv media

the obvious solution is that the distributor would have to pay it when they imported the masters for distribution.
if an unfinished film was being brought over for finishing, the value of that material is easy to calculate based on the budget.
doesnt make it less of a dumb idea

CBP can tale over ICE's enforcement if ICE is dismantled. they dont seem to be as willing to disregard due process as ICE is

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.
By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.
Today, in 2025, that number is *7*
And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.

as someone who follows events closely, if 99.9% of democrats (in the context of the post, the politicians), are fighting, then they are ineffective and havent told anyone about their actions. Most certainly are not publicly behaving like the republic is on the edge as due process is under attack

Because I have and it feels like every day we're getting closer to the episode "Severed Dreams."

The most daming claim in this statement IMO:
Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created…
Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds.
Correct usernames and passwords.
2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.

RFK Jr needs a convenient victim to push his anti vax agenda. its never been about autism, but so long as he uses autism as his justification he needs those victims to be absolute victims to justify the harm his ideology will bring.

its almost like the federal government was already shockingly optimized and efficient for an entity its size

its probably just that the market is larger for HO and O. most of the piko stuff seems built off the same platform with little changes, save for their german style models. I imagine for whatever reason the germans are much more serious about g gauge than americans?
