China built an economy on consumer electronics and smartphones. That industry is currently seeing a significant slowdown because of a mild recession in most of the world. Now, people are shocked that their economy is slowing down?

Derailment or provoking someone with a gun, I'm guessing?

Is everyone who disagrees with you a bot with an army of bots?

Get over yourself. Lemmy is neither large enough nor significant enough to attract that kind of attention. Is it that hard to believe that there are different people with different beliefs?

You're the reason democracies in North America are becoming increasingly polarized and radical in their beliefs.

Why do we keep on looking to build echo chambers? Having discourse is an essential component of a healthy democracy.

Buddy, you realize you're quoting a source from 2011? Over the past decade GDP/capita in China has more than doubled and the number of people living below the poverty line has dropped from 100 million to less than 1 million.

Do people not check facts anymore? Jesus fucking Christ man. It's like y'all never learned the basic scientific process.

Neoliberalism has been a failure for the actual population. It's decoupled economic growth from improved quality of life. Meanwhile, social democracies in Europe are showing that other models are practical and viable.

Except official data doesn't look good? They haven't gaslit shit, they've been reporting slowing growth, decreasing exports, and deflation.

WSJ literally wrote an article "this is what I think China will do and that's why China bad"

What the fuck kind of journalism is that?

The US needs to be #1 in the world and they'll do anything to achieve that.

Joe who supports the Patriots and works on a lobster boat half the year isn't going to the Supreme Court. Bill who's a theatre student at NYU isn't going to the Supreme Court. The people that are going to the Supreme Court are predominantly white men from highly privileged backgrounds.

Coincidentally, this forms the three metrics that correlate with conservative lean. Wealthier people lean conservative, white people lean conservative, and men lean conservative. In fact, even in the notoriously liberal New York Metro, white people are mixed https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/compare/party-affiliation/by/racial-and-ethnic-composition/among/metro-area/new-york-city-metro-area/.

Can this get blocked by lawsuits?

Canada needs a more socialist government. Both the CPC and LPC are neoliberal fucktards.

The Supreme Court is completely decoupled from the American population. What do you expect to happen? It's a place where career justices can go to play ideology while normal people are suffering.

The East Coast elite is very rich and (by extension) conservative. They are never going to vote for things that actually help the American populace.

Tax scales as a function of margin.

Though, applying the supply management system to grocery stores would probably work too, good suggestion!

Fossil fuels are too important for both our economy and for basic goods (plastics...) to be eliminated.

Ask yourself this: why is the circuit that covers the largest and most populous area not currently represented? Why is a court that speaks for the entire country disproportionately represented by people from the Tri Cities and DC?

The SCOTUS doesn't represent America, it represents an East Coast elite America that turns its head away from the harsh realities of working class Americans in Midwestern and Western America.

My rice cooker can hold stuff on warm for literally days...

A good Tiger/Cuckoo/Zojirushi should be able to do that no problem.

So you buy a car that's extremely excessive in 99% of use cases to cover that 1%?

What keeps you from just renting a car for that 1%? I guess that's why startups like Kyte are adopting a "car rental to your door" service...

It's a practical stopgap measure tbh. CCS is cheap

There's always fun stuff in Banff and Jasper. Maybe a stop on the glacier?
