Unfortunately, in China housing is the only thing they're legally allowed lowed to "invest" in. There is no stock market, you can't own land, you can't buy land in foreign countries (legally). So when their market crashes 20% that's the equivalent of the NSDAQ, housing, and subsidies markets all crashing 20% in a day, which is like beginning great depression type stuff.
What about genocides? Man you'd have no US, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, China, most of the middle eastern Islamic countries. Pretty empty Olympics, I'd be cool with that.
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity. To seize the best search engine you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Healthcare isn't free. It's funded by your insanely high taxes. Unless you're broke and jobless you're paying for it. The US has free education, wifi is a whopping $35, air conditioning, a massive military, cheaper gas, vastly more robust infrastructure....
So that makes me wonder what are you paying insane taxes in Europe for? Free wifi and healthcare? Your power grid can't support AC even if people had them, you don't have a huge road network, I guess you could equate the good train network to US roads. Shit military by comparison.
It's not even a pissing match between countries. I know where the bulk of the US taxes go even if I don't like it all. France has state healthcare that you pay for, free wifi, and a nice subsidized train network.
I think Trump is a scammy POS and then some, but if you ask me someone is robbing you blind in France and waving "free healthcare" flag over your face going you don't realize someone is pocketing that tax money.
Well, to be fair this in an insanely overpriced area of the United States. If Scandinavia was the size of pretty much the entirety of Europe you'd have price extremes as well.
For example if you look up a similar house in the Midwest of the United States (Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, ect) this house would be under $200,000.
When it's 2 for $1 or something it's fine if you're out. This crap where they filter it pure then add back in the same shit shit took out and charge you $25 is insane.
That's somewhat misleading. You can't reduce physical media availability then point at it saying "look people aren't buying it" because they don't have access to it in the first place, by design.
I mean I'm sure since digital media has become mainstream there's a shift, but it was a planned force shift to increase profits.
Right? That's how bad it is. Although how that some major companies are having Linux distros as default installs, M$ it's kinda freaking out a little. It's like, how little can we do to make people happy and still steal their info.
I think MAGA is more about returning the US back to the 50s and 60s. When people were more modest and had some level of common sense. Although that also includes more religious tards. But even if you were socially kinda shamed for weird shit, you weren't beat and jailed. They'd find other things to jail you for that you didn't so instead.
As someone who lived in China for about 5 years, it's amazing reading people's comments on China that have never been there, but they watch bullshit propaganda tictoks, and think they know what they're talking about.
I'm 43 from the US. For how ridiculously racist the world thinks the US is because they have the most whiney people with victim syndrome (because you know we have free speech and China doesn't), I have heard/seen legitimately 10x more racist shit living in China in 5 years than I've heard over the last 38 years of my life.
There's government messages all over to hate/kill Japanese. They have an amusement park in the south (I forget where) where it's a replica US aircraft carrier you can visit and outside there's an activity where you can stop US tressed dummies with a bayonet.
China thrives on the imbalance of information between itself and the US. They abuse freedom of speech in the US while controlling all media outlets, social sites, and WeChat in their own country.
So, because they linked one of the news sites you don't like, it must be suspect. Or you could look it yourself on one of 50 other sites to get the same info?
