Do you know if theres another “low drama, federate with most everyone” instance .ee users are headed to? .ml is fine, but it requires a VPN here in China.
No, going for the sure thing is why we have EA pumping out COD and a dozon sports games identical to last years every year.
Well there’s Burkino Faso, the rest of Frenh Africa certainly is better with slightly less direct exploitation.
All 12 of them?
Corn@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Newsom mocks Hegseth, Trump over ‘job well done’ post on National GuardEnglish1·26 days agoBiden could have packed the court, but said “it would make it political forever”. Tge commander-in-chief could have ordered military hospitals to provide women’s healthcare, he could have told the AG abd everyone else he nominated to pressure/punish red states which ban abortion. Strom Thurmond’s friend, who split with the party to end desegregstion, chose to let the Republicans do this, because he does not want what we want.
Corn@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Newsom mocks Hegseth, Trump over ‘job well done’ post on National GuardEnglish1·27 days agoNot even, just like we lost abortion under Biden, and an entire generation lost faith in the democrats as a means to effect positive social change, Newsom would do more to kill any opposition than Trump.
Dems could have simply gotten rid of the filibuster and passed free healthcare with 50 votes, and shown an entire generation of voters that politics is a viable means of achieving positive social change. But they genuinely do not want this because the donor class does not want this, so they let the rules stop them.
For the dems, a generation of energized, politically active 20-30 year olds is a problem to overcome.
You only need a simple majority to remove the filibuster. We elected them to use their power, not to let their hands be tied by rules that never seem to stop them or the republicans from doing bad things.
lmao talking about human rights when we have the highest prison population in the world. Have you ever felt like you had influence on the state’s actions? The average cuban has, in their lifetime, been able to help write their own constitution, and then vote for it by referendum. The average Chinese feels their government represents their interests.
The party doesn’t want medicare4all, hence why they didnt pass it when they had the power to, or use some of the executive’s powers to get as much non-means tested heathcare to the people as possible.
The liberal status quo inevitably leads to fascism. This shit doesn’t happen in Cuba, Vietnam, or China because they dont let capitalism stop them from addressing societal problems.
You really don’t understand context do you?
No, he is acknowledging he doesn’t know anything about North Korea because he only has 2 completely unreliable sources.
You know even less because you don’t even have a second source, and lack the critical thinking to realize it.
A lot of chinese people on XHS post about their vacations to DPRK
It’s about the dude’s fear of committing to a relationship with a girl he’s been dating.
For those who don’t have a plugin to bypass WSJ paywall
Here in Japan, a chain has a cheese burger with beef from Kobe, caramelized onions, and gravy made from the drippings for 7.50USD Half that if you want it with regular beef.
I investigated why things are so cheap and businesses can have the weirdest hours (there’s a bar in Tokyo that’s only open for 5 hours a week on fridays), they tax unused commercial property (for certain definitions of unused, like in rural areas just throwing some gravel down and letting your neighbor park there for a few bucks can be enough to dodge the tax), so companies offer extremely competitive rates to get businesses in. The .4% interest rate and very cheap remodeling costs (except plumbers for some reason) serve to keep startup more accessible, so places don’t have to be super profitable to exist. The taxes work in conjunction with the interest rates to keep banks and capital firms from just buying everything up with the free money to establish a local monopoly and drive up prices. There’s probably other things driving down home and commercial property costs, it’s mindboggling to see a 3 floor+attic, 800sqft/floor building in the center of a city with 10 million people and have the business owner say he’s renting it because the owner wanted 2.5m to buy the whole thing, and that was too much.
I know China manages to keep commercial property somewhat cheap by having 5 year plans and SoEs/universities guarantee the commercial sectors have the inputs such as steel, concrete, and skilled labor they’ll need at a specific price point, but I’ve never managed to talk to someone about tax policies and the like.
“british” crown family.
I can think of at least one.
