      If a French company doesn't want to deal with US government standards for French companies that do business with the US government, the French company can choose not to do business with the US government. I suspect that anything the US government needs from businesses overseas will have plenty of other bidders who won't mind conforming to whatever standards, for a nice fat US government contract.

      Education is extremely important.

        I wonder if they’re going to try that out of the Malaysian embassy.

        Only non-witches get due process.

            @Copper said in Tell me this is a sick jone:

            paywall

            Is that what they're calling tariffs now?

            Maybe France will pay for this one.

            I was only joking
