Americans always love tying things back to attacking China.

You're not wrong, but arresting people for possession doesn't help them either. And I can definitely tell you drugs aren't hard to find as it is.

> no rights This is not true. > Uyghur genocide This is a lie being spread by far right fundamentalist Adrien Zenz that the U.S. media had eaten up.

This is what is known as "anarchy of production" which is a key feature of capitalism. A global crisis like this is not compatible with our existing economic systems.

Markets are basically anarchy... there are countless examples of markets inefficiently allocating resources (homes, for one). Not sure I buy this.

Teachers unions are definitely not a net negative...

The U.S. has 22% of the worlds prisoners, despite only having 4% of the population, if you really wanna talk about prison.

Could the U.S. govt not subpoena a U.S. company for information, giving them the same power people are worried about China having?

My father made this argument to me, almost verbatim. It's definitely out there.

Why doesn't the government pass laws preventing this, instead of banning one particular app?

Congress should pass laws in retaliation then, not the President.

The solution would be to pass a law akin to the GDPR then. There is no need to go through executive action. The U.S. is not supposed to be authoritarian like China is.

This comment is not explemifying the problem, as you put it. It's pointing out the hypocrisy of this author for condemning something she engages in herself, without taking any blame.

Kickstarter recently voted for a union and was able to negotiate excellent terms for their layoffs. Check out their website here: https://kickstarterunited.org/ On another note, unions are a wonderful idea for increasing wo

Police aren't really distinguishing between the two. Besides, even looters don't deserve to stay in jail if they can't afford bail - they'll still see their day in court.

How can western leaders condemn China's lack of publishing info related to COVID-19 and protect private research for curing it at the same time? Research like this should be public and accessible to everyone. I don't know why I sh
