Meh, 3/10 sanctions avoidance payment

Doesn’t even come close to the 15/10 Russia war fleet to Pepsi “payment”

confusedbytheBasics ,

Are you referencing something or is this satire?

Glowstick ,

In the 90s Pepsi had a contest with prizes and as a joke they advertised that they were gonna give a winner a real jet fighter

Havald ,

That’s a different story. This one is about that time Russia/USSR paid pepsi with old military equipment to get around sanctions. I think they couldn’t actually receive it because they’re not allowed to have that but it’s a funny story regardless. I think someone already posted the link

lemmylommy ,

It was old equipment, so pretty much just scrap value.

Why is it gross?

MajorHavoc ,

Why is it gross?

I guess because beef spoils easily, and many of us don’t find the bribe givers and takers in our lives to be the most conscientious people we know.

There’s a good chance it’s fine for everyone involved, but also a good chance that it’s not.

It will all be flash frozen and shipped to China.

How does is comparison to Apple Beef Pro Max?

Zehzin ,
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly the same but a little more jank. Like half the price and you’re not locked to the official recipe store though. But you already use Apple condiments, sauces or grills they lose some funcionality.

They always get ya with the damn sauces.

The article glosses over the real reason for this, which is that Argentina is on an inflation rocket ride due to the new libertarian leadership. Getting paid in currency that is being continually devalued on a daily basis is worse than just getting the beef. China is the world’s largest market for beef.

Libertarian for the win, eh?

Shardikprime ,

This is absolutely mostly from the past government. These kinds of agreements take years to settle and the new government only has 6 months in functions

Here you have a high level overview of current administration and pat one engagements with China

China is nowhere near the biggest consumer of meat per capita, it is less than half of Canada’s. Though the numbers don’t distinguish between types of meat. en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_meat_cons…
