let's hope it's reaching its endpoint friend. it seems like the natural country to pick up the baton is China, but they have a sufficiently different economic system that maybe there will be a break in the chain. it depends on the

it's true that the US-axis powers are extremely dangerous and short sighted, but they are also weakening. let's hope for victory over the empire.

This is a common fable and it doesn't make sense. He increased wages to decrease turnover. It's honestly crazy that Fordist propaganda is still circulating today. The dude was a pro-Nazi freak. https://www.forbes.com&#x

Do you have any insight into why the less meritorious claims were being filed? I can imagine that given the amount of entirely legal abuse, prisoners attempt to fight back with a swing and a miss. Ofc, some people are just assholes and give

We have seen other systems, socialist systems, that are much kinder to workers and give them more security and free time. The capitalists managed to destroy most competing examples and forced the remaining ones to somewhat liberalize via th

What you say is true, but the dominant effect in the system driving it towards more exertion than anyone would find desirable is the profit incentive of owners to drive their workers harder.

It's crazy that people treat prisoner complaints from the American gulag as if everyone is just whining. We have some of the worst conditions in the developed world.

I won't claim to be an expert on 1918 influenza, but here's a reference for the claim I was making: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5481322/ After reading this, I am less sure of the claim &quot

Different species, you can't generalize like that. It's pretty unclear what actually happened with H1N1. Scientists were able to resurrect the more virulent strain in the lab two decades ago and it was just as potent in lab animal

I half expected it to proceed to optical light microscopy or even scanning electron microscopy but the latter would have toasted the painting with radiation damage.

It's like Google Maps. I didn't look under the cover but typically the way these things work is there's a resolution hierarchy and it loads bits dynamically as you zoom in. The zoom here is a bit slow (it doesn't let you

I think the more pointed question is: will USA aggression be unchecked if the economies disconnected? China hasn't invaded anyone. USA is conducting an active genocide in Gaza and the Iraq War wasn't that long ago. I could name so

The second one sounds similar to oxyclean.

Hard to know what to make of this when the types of detergent are not disclosed. I recall in 2022, Oxyclean was recommended for destroying MPOX virions.

I imagine you'd point out that the Qing collaborated to some extent with the imperialists, and that's why the collaborationist monarchy needed to be overthrown, something the nationalists and the communists agreed on. In America,

This is a highly propagandized view of China. Their industrial strategy was to get western capitalists to support industrializing the country by offering cheaper labor, but without surrendering control of the country to them, but now wages

How on earth can you possibly claim that when China was a peasant society that was dicked over for a hundred years by western powers addicting them to opium? Obviously their careful planning and industrialization strategy is working.

Nearly all collapses are of limited temporal duration (except for extinction events....). I think it is fair to call a health system that failed to protect the nation and world a collapse. It failed to perform its function in a dramatic way

Protonmail did not comply with Chinese law. I can't say I'm a fan, but this wasn't targeted at Protonmail, it was the same with Google. China requires this because China is a target for U.S. imperialism and must protect itsel

That chunk is heavily influenced by the propaganda that over a million dead people isn't a big deal. The propaganda is economically incentivized because slowing down the economy is bad for business even if it protects human lives.

I think for that to happen, you'd have to let a sophisticated AI read your emails, which maybe possible with the right home setup, but otherwise you're sending them to be read by a large corporation's.
