The irony being that China has the tools to overcome a declining population, whereas the west is a goldbergian paperclip maximizer.

Would be a good comedy bit, much like the opening to Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

As with every other “crisis” capitalism faces, the solution is simple: no more capitalism, no more crisis.

“A reduction in the share of workers can lead to labor shortages, which may raise the bargaining power of employees and lift wages — all of which is ultimately inflationary,” Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff, managing director at BlackRock, wrote in an analysis last year.

Yeah, fuck that babbling bourgeois bullshit. Fun fact though, after plague killed so many people in Europe, the surviving serfs (and their more immediate descendants) had an unprecedented level of power and agency over their living and working conditions.

Based hacking group. This kind of stuff puts “anonymous” and other cosplaying CIAnarchists to shame.

On a slight tangent I can’t wait to pore through “secret” government documents after the revolution.

So US cops don’t hunt down communists, and therefore the US isn’t fascist? I’m having a hard time seeing the thought process here, but then again I’m not a fascist.

As far as I know, NASA has two current plans. Either sell the ISS to some billionaire, or deorbit it and drop it into the ocean. Both are really sad conclusions to an important scientific and engineering project.

The funny thing is, the league of colonial crackers don’t have the capability to deorbit the ISS. Right now only the Russian Progress vehicle can significantly modify the orbit of the ISS. If it’s not deorbited quickly and precisely on purpose, it’ll deorbit on its own in an uncontrolled manner, with a slight risk of dropping debris on inhabited land.

With how irredeemably greedy Boeing is, I can’t help but think that Airbus is probably just as bad. Everything the US government does and will do for Boeing, the French and EU will do for Airbus.

Unfortunately for us in the US dominated west, flying on COMAC and Ilyushin airframes will never be an option.

The US Midwest, as well as much of Canada, is built like that. Winters are long and cold, so houses are more or less built to keep heat in, but not to keep heat out, or cool down quickly once hot. I say more or less because historically energy has been so cheap that instead of properly insulating like people do in Europe for example, many just turn up the heat in winter. So even when people can afford to buy and run an AC unit and the power grid cooperates, the AC can often only cool one room, and maybe not even quite handle that sufficiently.

In historically temperate areas like the pacific northwest, homes aren’t really built with extreme temperatures in mind, so anything outside of the usual 5-25°C range is very uncomfortable very quickly.

We have investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

We also have no idea as to why quality engineers are turning up dead.

Just wait until the then-president pulls a Trudeau (Senior) by declaring martial law to put an end to the separatists.

The US debt is meaningless so long as the USD remains the global reserve currency. With the current trends of dedollarization that may not last for much longer.

It may be a splitting of hairs as well, but I would argue that domestic US financial policy vis a vis US workers has been austere for fifty years. Expenditures on private industry only grow, while any and all services for the services for the people are ruthlessly cut.

I usually look through a few reviews, both on computer journalism sites and forums for real world experiences.

This one seems perfectly sufficient, especially for the price. Won’t break any records, but it’s not supposed to. It’s better suited as a secondary storage drive though, there are better options out there in terms of an SSD to install your OS to, specifically ones with some DRAM cache and a higher TBW.

forgetting that she praised her [Nazi] grandpa

Was it this speech? I’m having trouble finding anything else but I’d like to see the original quote.

Good that those things are taught in some places. I can only speak from my own experience in high school - we were required to have laptops for school but were never taught how to be safe online.

Some people put their whole lives on the internet and never once stop to think if it’s a good idea. Then again, online safety and security are never taught or communicated, at least in the west, maybe by design.

This old article (1974) from the US neoconservative outlet National Review made the rounds here a few months ago and speaks to the point of western misinformation. Even these diehard anti-communist neocons admit that the Chinese government and CPC were working with the Tibetan state throughout the 1950s to improve conditions for Tibetans, but US meddling forced more drastic action on the behalf of the CPC. The Dalai Lama has been in the pocket of the CIA ever since 1959, if not even before. A spiritual precedessor to Juan Guaidó, if you will.

Just give the worker drones happy pills until they comply.

This is normal.

Controlling the narrative is just as (if not more) crucial for national security as aircraft carriers and troops.

Anti-German is one hundred percent an astroturfed cryptofascist thing.

“Imminent US collapse” articles incoming in… Oh nevermind…
