This is an exercise in absurdism. People searching the picture and giving each other hints without any search target. Fun stuff.

When they die ... Of natural causes... Like a swift knife chop to the neck.

And to celebrate that fact, Europe is joining the US in imposing massive tariffs on China's electric vehicles and solar cells. Yay.

Would be funny if Boeing started cutting corners with their hitmen, too.

When you decommodify a thing the state takes a role to ensure the good or service is provided to all. You can have a mixed system with private and public construction. But as long as there is a robust public housing sector, prices for all houses will be much lower than in the current system where we have scarcity.

Someone could build an army of clones of you, launch galactic war, and then you'd be hated all over the galaxy. Assuming you have good genes. Probably they made a bad movie about this.

Apple is also super good with software updates on old hardware.

Except for that time they deliberately slowed down older phones with software updates so people would buy new phones.

Unfortunately they would quickly be replaced by their heirs who would continue to employ the same business people to manage their empires. We need to change the system at the root, not just chop off the top.

I've followed the developing belt and road initiative and it works like this: China invests in various countries' infrastructure to expand trade capacity. So far the only criticism the western media has leveled at it is that it is supposedly a debt trap. And the big evidence for that is Sri Lanka's port. However, the majority of Sri Lankan debt is held by Western banks. The Chinese loan was not at a higher interest rate. Yet somehow, China is to blame? In what way do you consider the BRI to be a hegemonic project?
