Yes, yes there is something wrong, I'm not saying you need to be every waking hour studying, but forcing young people to work is something would only happen under the current capitalist system and it is done to get cheap labour, not because of X or Y.

I think that happened already and it was called the Vietnam war. I think that happened already and it was called the Korean war. I think that happened already and it was called the invasion of Afghanistan.

Ad hominem.

If I am understanding it correctly it is still not good because this generally means companies outsource their workforce and hire "freelancers" to avoid paying the same benefits as if they were regular workers.

I wish the gui would have a Rust backend rather than being chrome, using Tauri it would require a lot less resources

Most of the things that you mention as "ghost cities" and so on are simply they building in the long term, for the people, so that they can be in a later time be populated. Here's a good example of a YouTube channel who made a video about "ghost" metro station a few years ago, recently they did an update, and it is no longer a place without a purpose but actively being inhabited.

It is amazing how copos try to reinvent shittier versions of trains.

As far as I know, the ban on skyscrapers is due to safety concerns and a sense of identity which make sense, vertical urban planning is good but the best middle point is buildings that are neither too small (because you are not taking advantage of the vertical space) nor too tall. This is not much different from US zoning laws, which work to appease to the car industry lobbyists.

Regarding subway lines, I can't find any information about that, just that they banned drinking in such places.

Or ship specific versions of their software for the UK, as it is done with other software in other countries with restrictions.

I didn't say she was 15, it was an example because that's the reality in the US.

Because people don't like to read the opposite of what the West propaganda shows, it creates a cognitive dissonance with reality and their beliefs, and before questioning their beliefs, they choose to question reality.

Sure, but most of those companies didn't even care much about privacy any way. How would this affect Matrix for example?

Why would you want for young people to work? Is your idea for a utopia to have 15 year olds working at a McDonalds for minimum wage?

If the youth can focus on studying and improving themselves that is what they should do. Maybe it is because of the strong US "work ethics" but where I live unless you are under extreme poverty you focus on studying until you are 25 at least. We have free healthcare and education, so we have it much easier than people in the US, though.

"Excess infrastructure spending" I've spotted the republican.

How is a country going to end encryption worldwide? The West okay, bu what jurisdiction do they have over me?

Yeah, sure, they have so many homeless people and a decaying infrastructure ah right that is the US.

You wish, it is not easy moving to China, otherwise I would have done it already. T.T

That is what I was thinking, specially if it is the youth. Let the youth study and enjoy, not work.

When one actively asks for punishment for one side but remains silent for the other, I say that is whataboutism by omition.
