Korea is running a trade deficit in kimchi
With China of course ...
Talk about taking over global goods supply!

Seems like every 'artisan farmer' has the idea of growing kimchi after watching Clarkson's Farm.

It's easy to make, not much more involved than dill pickles or sauerkraut.
Plus you can chuck it on some fried rice and stir fry it for an EZ meal

Is Kimchi related to Kim Jong Un? I heard that he has relatives in the west but I didn't know they're doing stuff in China. That's interesting. I wonder what implications this has for China/NK relations if they're engaging in a silent trade war. NK can't rely on Russia too long. Maybe they're waiting for US elections. Trump and his Project 2025 will lead to World War III. That's why we need to get out and VOTE!!!! VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!! VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!!! Because it does. If Trump wins this election, illegal immigrants will be deported. Women will be locked in cages and become equal to livestock. Gender Affirming care will be delayed for minors until they turn 18. Republicans want to bring America back to the early 2000's. Democracy won't survive that. If that doesn't radicalize you, I don't know what will. That's why I'm voting for Her. We need a woman's touch in office. A woman of color in the seat this time. The presidency has become too male, pale, and stale. It's time for someone with a brain at the reins, and Oakland Kam has got it!

Dear Steve Huffman, /u/spez
And the Board of Directors of Advance Publications and of Reddit, Inc.
I am known for being verbose. So, in this instance, let me be as brief as possible:
Spez had some conversations with Elon Musk — the owner and CEO of one of Reddit's direct competitors —
And he came away from those conversations with ideas on how to "run Reddit" which, when put into motion,
have led to Reddit Admin Policies that kneecapped moderators three times in a row (PushShift, then mod bots, then the third party apps mods use in place of the official app),
Which resulted in the site exploding in protests and riots, decade-old user accounts deleting in protest, entire communities migrating to anyplace else (that's not Twitter), the people who volunteered their time and energy and expertise to keep community on this site walking away, the burning of literally decades of stakeholder expertise and skills, and damage to the goodwill and profitability of Reddit,
And the bigoted, violent harassers whom we finally got to decamp off to Twitter and back to 4chan in 2022 returning in force to Reddit to resume slandering and harassing moderators and communities, and celebrating the idea of bringing online their hate brigades to vote out any moderators foolish enough to stick around after Spez sneered at them —?
Your takeaway from conversations with the transphobic white supremacist who runs your business competition was to implement his ideas of running off all the good faith users and making your site inhospitable to advertisers —?
Dear Boards of Directors:
Start your candidate search. You have grounds. Act on them.
Signed,
/u/Bardfinn
