America won't buy our corn and guns!

Why won't America buy our corn and guns?

Oh, because they make their own and they're fucking thousands of miles away.

what's the worst that can happen to chicken in a couple thousand miles from a country of origin with no regulations

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

You don't want 10-day aged chicken?
Or maybe you want 10-day aged chicken that has been processed in a way that the 10 days of aging doesn't change the chicken - instead of usual aging processes that enhance meats (well, red meats)

They do buy our guns - they go crazy for ČZ pistols (made in a little shithole country called Czech Republic)

in my experience from a decade ago Czechia was a delightful place to visit and the people were very kind and helpful.

In fairness they probably don't actually know that. They're obsessed with AKs for example but most Americans probably don't know where they're from.
