Chinese plants will make whatever the hell you need them to at your desired quality, as long as you meet the market price.

There’s an incredible irony in Americans associating them with poor quality because the American capitalists ordering the goods decided to cheap out and cut corners lmao.

Considering the US literally couped Australia when their prime minister refused to give unconditional support for a spy base, this is small fry!

p.s. that military base in Australia now exists, the US has full autonomous control of it, stations soldiers there, and the antennae currently guiding the Israeli missiles leveling Gaza

Frankly I’m surprised they haven’t already. Colliders absolutely shit out discoveries whenever you open a new more powerful ring. Happened with Fermilab and the LHC.

Even with the US pouring every gram of the value generated by its citizens labor into violence and global oppression of socialism

Even with the USSR spending all its money on its own citizens quality of life instead of enriching the bourgeois

The Americans still lost 19/20 space race milestones and called themselves the winner

If Reagan won 20 years earlier and torched American industry, science, and labor a little sooner we might have been posting this from the Jupiter orbital colony.

It’s the game I would have hated as a young adult but absolutely love as a… less young adult.

It’s a bit psychopathic but if you know you need electrolytes, can’t really beat a little salt in some water. Like just a pinch.

Best part is it’s nearly free!

The cruelest part of late stage capitalism is that these immigrants would probably have enjoyed a better life back home.

Sure many are refugees escaping violence or truly desperate conditions.

But many are also normal-ass people that were sold the lie of the Western/American dream. People that struggle to learn English in adulthood (much harder than as a child), have no specialized degree or skill, and no family in the states.

People that could have joined the normal working class at home with less debt, less stress, and less discrimination and led mostly normal lives in their own culture.

Sure the Western consumer has nice electronics and Nike shoes, etc. But everyone seems to be in denial about the impending collapse of the entire economy and how dire the lives of the workers are right now.

It’s going to be a rough century and it’s only getting started.

I can’t speak for the neighborhoods you hang out in but the USA car bubble is fucking insane right now.

People making $26 an hour in SoCal (where rent is $2400) regularly buy $70,000 trucks ($150,000 if you count interest), mustang GTs, top-trim/model Wranglers, GLAs. Spending >$50k on a car is normal for the working class when they don’t even own homes yet.

Complete insanity. I used to think the ‘collapse’ folks were full of shit. Turns out they were just early.

My favorite part of this debacle are the liberals and conservatives uniting (funny how often they’re doing that these days) to mourn the great senseless smearing of this priceless historical artifact.

The historical artifact that has been completely refurbished, rebuilt, re-assembled with heavy equipment, and literally cast into modern concrete foundations multiple times since the 1960s.

In fact the veracity of the historical thesis is in doubt these days as well, it’s more likely some eccentric ass put these up in relatively modern times a few hundred years ago.

Their efforts are futile and disruptive, yes. So is the fucking climate change that is literally guaranteed to collapse modern civilization within 50 years.

Appeasing fascists backfiring on liberals who now stand alone, having driven off the left

A tale as old as time
