The frog boils itself now?

Cheap solar and semiconductors will reduce the cost of manufacturing in US. Energy and chips are inputs to actually producing stuff that companies charge a lot more for.

Car tariffs is somewhat understandable.

"Hi TSMC. Could you build a massive pseudo village/factory where you indoctrinate the locals with your toxic work culture, sending your managers to act as overlords for our under-educated workers? We will pay you."

"You want us to basically colonize a town in Arizona?"

"Ummm... Yeah"

I think the main issue is that the theorists aren't ever the ones actually executing the organizational work needed to manage an incredibly complex economic system. Without that experience, they don't know how to analyze China's performance. They have theories that they never had to put into practice. It's very academic.

Fuck your ignorance and wikipedia. You wouldn't know shit about Tibet or give a fuck.

Bullshit white supremacists dog whistle their asshole attitudes towards colored people by characterizing the "bad" countries as dangerous uncivilized inhumane societies. They always claim it's only the government being criticized. Doesn't take much for a racist to slip up and shit on the entire population: the slightest 30 sec tiktok vid will set them off.

Whatever. Enjoy your racist tropes.

What is this lib shit? If they write unironically about organ harvesting, FLG and Tibet in the second paragraph of the intro, they're a bunch of racist white edgelords.

But I am afraid of the future. I am afraid that if I start dating her now I end up regretting it later in life.

I suggest enjoy the relationship as it is now rather than imagining how it will be in the future. It's not like you have proposed so it's way too early to think about your combined incomes and stuff.

After you buy a train ticket, you push the train the whole way to your destination.

Part of anti-capitalism is the rejection of neoliberal ideology where people are voluntarily pursuing achievement and performance as expressions of personal freedom. Byung Chul Han wrote about these concepts in books like "The Burnout Society", "Capitalism and the Death Drive", etc

In our supposedly free society, the social pressure to "do well" creates the burnout. People work hard because of an illusion of scarcity rather than the boss exploiting them.

How about you also read the article and understand the historical context:
The past two First Nations advisory organizations have been shut down by the conservative parties each time they won government. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) shut down in 2005. National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples shut down in 2019. These advisory bodies already existed before.

Having won the federal election, Labor knew if they didn't put a change IN THE CONSTITUTION, as soon as they lost an election then all the years of work they might put into funding and creating another body would get thrown in the garbage by the FUCKING SCUMBAG parties.

So the referendum was about giving Aboriginal leaders back what they PREVIOUSLY HAD in a permanent way RATHER than creating another advisory body and then taking it away with the next change in government under the DOGSHIT two party system in Australia. But Australians are too fucking conveniently ignorant to remember the past. Hence the no vote.

So for the article to talk about boycotting the referendum when the federal government has previously abolished the parliamentary Aboriginal advisory bodies ..... Let's just say it's rage inducing.
