How do you make a small fortune?

Start with a large fortune and buy a boat.

Warren Buffett calls Trump's tariffs a tax on goods, says 'the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em' in c/politics@lemmy.world

No, but I think it's good when someone with credibility among certain people reiterate something, even if it adds nothing of value to you and me.

Democratic and left-of-center politicians (or "liberal elite economists") can say this until they're blue in the face but Trumpers will dismiss it as I dunno, woke butthurtism or something. But when someone like Buffet says it, at least they (maybe) have to think a little bit before coming up with some mental gymnastics to dismiss him. And maybe along the way they'll question, if only a little bit, the sanity of Trump's policies.

If it's a campus bus it's almost certainly free, and probably timed to class schedules. If you only have 10m or so between classes it makes sense.

Some bulk food stores let you bring your own. You put a sticker on them with the bulk item # and also the dry weight, so it's a little more work, but then you can put your jars to use!

Newer macOS is not Unix certified.

One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.

There's a bulk food store near me and it allows BYO containers (or you can use one of their compostable bags). It's great! A little bit more work (you need to tare your/container write down the empty weight), but you get your goods in the container of your choice.

What's the alternative? Strong arm a democratically elected

even if stupid at times

government to change policy? That's a terrifying precedent.

The other alternative is to backdoor or otherwise compromise users in other jurisdictions. Glad they didn't do that.
