The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks (and originally on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy) imposed in 1964 Eventually, the tariffs on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy were lifted,[4] but since 1964 this form of protectionism has remained in place to give US domestic automakers an advantage over imported competitors.

“Featured Review” is telling.
Cancel-culture mob missed the point. Shame on the cinemas who cancelled the screening because whinging mobs shook their fists.
First of all, the movie is non-profit. Secondly, it was made by a real human crew and real actors.
It was clever to get ChatGPT to write a film script about a screenwriter who feels his job is threatened by AI’s superior writing ability. How can anyone not be curious to watch this movie?

Don’t forget desquamation (skin peeling)!
Educated people do not become fascists.

Former US President Joe Biden sanctioned a number of Israeli settlers for carrying out such attacks, but President Donald Trump has since lifted those sanctions.
