Its actually what corporate needs.

Except when it backfires and they don’t want any.

Remains to be seen 4 years from now.

Rich industrialists wanted to use chinese labour to stiff local American workers. This was and remains one of the goals of globalist expansion. Now that they want to stiff chinese workers as their wages rose, and don’t want people stealing their stolen products.

For all the talk of meritocracy these Americans don’t like to play fair.

Yes being greedy expecting exponential growth is unsustainable

I am pro socialism and asking what kind of details is missing in pro-socialist arguments that you find capitalists explain well?

I am married 4 years and even I think 3 minutes is not enough. How do you recon you are fine with 3 minutes? Its nothing when you have to be away for a long time… unless you’re used to this kind of lifestyle then I can understand that you and your loved ones are used to it.

No i meant to reply to FlyingSquid. They said 3 minutes is too long to hug a pillow. But my point is if you’re going away for a long time 3 minutes with your wife and kids doesn’t even begin to be enough.

Is this sugar industry propaganda? Raisins are actually healthier.

There is an aspect of wanting to dump manufacturing to labour violating/lax labour countries without transfering some knowledge that I don’t like about this kind of “decoupling”. Laundering it as a solely national security issue/CCP/slave labour I feel lets cheapskate industrialists who hate paying livable wages off the hook. I mean these were the same industrialists that laid off their own country workers to setup industry in China in the first place. I feel like the national security angle is just a happy coincidence. For goodness sake it’s Foxconn. There is no guarantee that the conditions of labour in their factories is going to change because they moved out of China.

I am predicting that news headlines 10-20 years from now will read similar to “Mexico decoupling” or wherever else dared to benefit off outsourcing.

The whole national security posturing is not entirely honest.

You know what I figured out as a man? Just listen to the other party in this order of increasing priority: body language, facial expression, their words. MAIN THING TO AVOID: Never assume they are/will be comfortable with you. Never assume consent with body language or facial expression. If they want to be romantically involved THEY will approach you.

Before I was married my mind was on alert talking women in order not to come off as creepy. This was with women whom I had purely platonic relationships like my coworkers or college mates. I am aware the effect men have with their staring. To this day when I am walking on the street I make sure to not walk behind women. If I can i overtake them. If not I just change directions even if my destination is straight ahead. Treating the nonfamily women in my life like I would treat men should be the right thing to do… but its not easy with the reputation that men have among women.

So my point effectively is just don’t be creepy and pushy. Just be polite and reciprocate interest. Otherwise just treat them like your sister or guy friend.

Your take needs evidence to prove that Russia indeed has the low-end chip market captured.

People think your “Russia has the low-end chip manufacturing market cornered” argument is not backed by evidence.

One thing neo-liberals and dictator loving pretend-communists agree on: Reddit is a cesspool.

Is that you scoob?

How is it a separate discussion?

You’re a moron if you think bringing more people into the world is fighting for a better world

You cannot excuse what Israel is doing in Palestine by hiding behind antisemitism.

Buddy… pillow? I am sorry but when you fall in love your stamina will increase x10

Shit like this is why meat eaters are not convinced going vegetarian isn’t a conspiracy.
