  • Every time Republicans have held the absolute minority in government, Dems were hamstrung and couldn’t pass any progressive legislation.

    Somehow the reverse isn’t true.

    Therefore Dems don’t dislike what trump is doing. What can be done when the uniparty reveals itself as it has, with Dems rubber-stamping anything Trump does?

    Well we’re on .world. so that can’t be discussed per instance rules.



  • Go back to any month in any year in the last thirty. You’ll find the same type of opinion pieces from the same people. Despite this China has raised the most people out of poverty in all of history, and has matched the US’ s GDP.

    Pointless ‘china is really failing this time despite us being wrong the last 2000 times’ articles prove absolutely nothing. Because China isn’t trying to be profitable. They are not an oligarchy like euro nations. They are not a kakistocracy like the US. Their economy is fundamentally different.


  • How is eliminating failed management and ensuring the money held in the bank covering it up?

    Do you not know how the economy works in China? Over 60% of the economy is public sector, while some of that is just state investment, some is also failed private sector businesses that still would serve a purpose without profit motive.

    It would be ridiculously cruel to allow a bank to fail while it still holds the savings of ordinary citizens. And it would be ludicrously stupid to bail out failed companies and just allow them to continue functioning as they had. So you buy them, change the mission, replace the management, everyone except the rich fucks win













  • It actually does. But don’t worry, pick any stat you associate with freedom. The US will rank below 40 compared to other nations, it will rank below 100 in many categories.

    Nz being an ally of the US is a hold over from your imperialist colonialist past, nothing more. You’ve advanced beyond the US, as have a lot of nations. The only thing the US has over you is GDP, a stat not useful for much according to the inventor of GDP, and military spending.

    Given what it uses that spending for I get why you’d be scared, being an island nation in the Pacific and all; but realistically they’re not competent enough to invade you anymore. I mean they’ve lost every war they started since WWII.
