  1. Adelsons are definitely the villains here, and Nico is the sycophant willing to shoulder the blame. He deserves all the hate he's gotten, but the Adelsons deserve as much if not more
  2. One of them big city adjacent to a fancy apartment complex DQs
  3. No I think he terrorized 21st street with the AR then holed up in the PCL and shot himself before cops could do it for him.
  4. It was the AR-15 guy, I think
  5. I was told semantics have no place in law
  6. I think the bullying is starting to wear him down. I'm concerned he's going to overcorrect and return to wokeness, delivering a sort of killshot to the appeal of progressive values.
  7. water breaks are woke
  8. That's not at all what I said but of course you're incapable of honest discussion and fond of defending genocides
  9. Trump's trade strategy has the compass and cadence of a 50-year-old Facebook-addicted general contractor, upside down on his F250 and not on speaking terms with his college-aged daughters, trying to separate from his wife and periodically returning to the Lakeway house in the middle of the day on a Wednesday as if he didn't loudly storm out Friday night.
  10. Mayfield pays better, and that money's gotta come from somewhere.
  11. Trump's lack of object permanence explains it all.
  12. The difference is the government there can actually deter companies from exploiting their workers, if they're inclined to do so. Is it possible things improved after all that bad press? I know Foxconn has rapidly expanded operations worldwide including nearby in Mexico. Another part is probably cultural. Different standards for tolerance of discomfort and work ethic.
  13. That seems no worse than US-based factory farm operations, where they were placing bets on who would die from COVID.

  16. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114309144289505174 TLDR he caved except Jinaaaaaaaa where he's tripling down
  17. tariffs cut to 10% now except JINAAAAAA (who gets 125% now because dick measuring contest) https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114309144289505174
  18. yeah but people might be laughing at us
  19. How big, though? I have my doubts that if every one of those Uighur workers were liberated Chinese manufacturing with collapse overnight. They should be liberated, though, even if it did have those consequences. Slavery is every bit as wrong today as it was during the Civil War.
  20. I'm not denying what they've done to the Uighurs. There are plenty of legitimate problems with the CCP. What I'm questioning is whether the oppression of disfavored groups fully explains China's economic successes. We have this idea that it's full of third world sweatshops and inhumane labor conditions, and that's the part that seems more like "trust me bro" rather than something that has been corroborated. These re-education camps number like 2 million people (way too many) while China has a population over 1 billion and the vast majority of its factory workers are not in those camps. The third world sweatshops do exist, but they're in places like Bangladesh.
  21. I'm beginning to wonder if these conceptions we have of the conditions for workers in China are accurate. A lot of what the US media has said about foreign countries has turned out to be exaggerations or bullshit.
