Yes, porn is illegal in China. All porn. They weren't targeted for being gay, as both this article and the original Chinese language article points out. They don't get special treatment for producing gay literature either way.

Besides food those other items don't enter into people's lives, extreme luxuries don't matter when you're spending half your increase me on housing.

...have you never heard of influencers, the number one job kids want to do when they grow up in every poll done on the matter since 2012?

If you're a currency issuer then your government programs don't run on any funding. They are allocated a maximum amount of new currency.

But modern monetary theory aside, government competitors only eliminate shitty competition, not entire industries, unless those industries are themselves useless like the insurance industry.

Wages have increased 5.5x what they were in 1950. Housing costs have increased 19x.

Wages haven't kept up, period. Wages are not up nearly 30% since 2020.

Primarily due to kids fucking with his rallies. But now Dems decided to risk the income of a few million Americans and the circuses of a couple hundred million Americans for no real reason. So it's an easy political win for Trump if he can stop it, while of course enriching himself and his donors that have stakes in bytedance.

They haven't for the last 70 years. You make less than you're grand parents.

Wages have not increased compared to any cost of living increases.

If an entire industry is bankrupt, it is no longer needed and has been supplanted by a better industry. And that usually ends in lower prices. Tractors are way, way cheaper than oxen.

Yeah but the rest of the time it's green. And it's not like you couldn't plant some evergreens along side to give some winter colors.

Not really, as someone that lives in an urban area with far more trees than this its pretty easily managed by leaf vacuum trucks. You just lead blow and rake them into a line on the side of the road and the truck comes by with a vacuum on the back to collect them for composting. Do this for like a month max and it's fine.

No one ever said that, but this is no worse than the Biden policy that Harris promised to continue.

Not really, you see some shit and endure some shit in the military. If someone then comes along and shows you that everything you endured was not only pointless but actively made the world worse, you might lose your shit. Most that go through that just become opioid addicts though.

If that happened, huge if these days, that's awful. Doesn't excuse the genocide Israel is doing, doesn't stop the fact Israel needs to be completely dismantled.

Every modern ethnostate so far has committed genocide. Ethnostates are bad.

Don't worry, in ten years the US will be sanctioning Syria and threatening to invade due to the islamists they cheered on and funded in this conflict.

Tesla engineers are limited in their pursuit of whatever weird shit Elon wants by pretty lose car safety standards. SpaceX has to comply with two governments, a dozen other companies, and hundreds of insurance companies safety standards.

See the last part of the second paragraph for that. Victims of the empire paradoxically tend to want to immigrate to the empire believing they'll be better off there than in the country that empire targeted.
