Thats a pretty terrible question though since there are two equally valid ways of viewing the question the way it is worded. It's not talking aboit China, it's talking about people in China. People in South Korea eat more rice than people in Colombia despite both countries have similar populations. "Why does China consume more rice than America" is the actual question to ask yo try and get that answers.

If the price of rare stamps craters you can always just use the stamp to mail a letter to your friend. They are onysical items with actual scarcity and legit demand from collectors. Loads of people have collected stamps, coins, and baseball cards for decades and even centuries

He meant automatically issued id. You can ask for various forms of identification documents, but you arent given one just for living somewhere.

The federal government isn't in charge of elections, your state and county are. There is zero reason that you shouldn't automatically be registered to vote whenever you get a driver's license or register for any sort of ID

That is absolutely not the consensus on the region N-K, it's pretty much universally recognized as a breakaway state if Azerbaijan. Armenian has just had Russia enforrcing the status quo for the past 20 years, but now Russia is busy so Azerbaijan is enforcing the internationally recognized border.

I think that was a signing bonus, not an annual salary.

He's had a fair bit of cosmetic surgery over the years. Things like hair plugs to jaw fillers

This was obvious back in January when he couldn't even muster the votes to become speaker of the house. He's completely useless

I've stipped using dab pens in favor of a one hitter and making my own edibles. I live in a medical state with a recreational state less only an hour away so i'm not worried about my carts being sketchy, but they make it way too easy to get way too baked.

We used to call that a Levi's special back in college

Most are still working actually. Only the Michigan Plant plant west of Detroit is on strike currently. UAW is planning on doing tolling strikes across the various plants across the country to keep the Big 3 on their toes

Idiots clearly have never even be to SE Michigan, let alone Detroit, and have no clue how automotive supply chains work. Just about every factory and industrial site from Flint to Toledo is producing parts that either get put into Big 3 cars directly or are used to make equipment that are then used. They have had 30 years of NAFTA to figure out how to move that complicated supply chain to Mexico with success, but are still reliant on American industrial might.

I'll convert to metric once we convert to a dozenal number system. Ten is a terrible number to base our counting system on.

Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos fyi. It's essentially his propaganda wing at this point.

Just because i can run doesn't mean that the Flash doesn't have super powers.

That's literally how Hitler came to be in charge of Germany. He didnt win any elections and the Nazis weren't the majority until he was put in power to pacate his followers.

People will pay whatever it takes to not be homeless. If that means 75% of my paycheck is going to a shitty apartment, then i have to take on more debt to afford things like food. Landlords will continue to squeeze until something breaks.

Australia is essentially just Texas out in a remote corner of the world. Just a bunch of mining and oil companies running a country.

If my buddies and spend a month plotting a crimer in my cousin's spare room, the cousin would be complicit since he knowingly allowed us to use his property for a criminal conspiracy. The USPS doesn't know what i am sending in the mail since they are a common carrier.

They had a shutdown when they were in charge of congress and the White House a few years ago.
