I think for boomer liberals, their memory is pretty hazy and the 60s was the end of racism. “We did it guys! Everyone can sit on the same bus seats.”

I think the nostalgia is also in the 2nd tv series as well. The Addams Family was the original series from the 60s.

It’s very common for reactionaries to seek to rewind the clock to a “better” time because the present has all these modernization problems. For the boomers, the 60s were better than today. For Gen X, maybe the 80s were better.

Both the 2nd and 3rd tv series are aimed at younger viewers or the young-at-heart: trying to convey the joy of youth.

From the SS handbook:

Empty my magazine into the air = suppressive fire

I am creating a new term rather than “disinformation” : “thisinformation” = As in “thisinformation is not cool with me (Factually true but not cool)”.

e.g. Russians are peddling thisinformation about Ukraine.

I believe US was trying to trigger a military conflict with Taiwan over chip manufacturing.

They had the short term thinking that China would try plunder Taiwan for TSMC rather than develop their own capabilities.

As the video said, this is the opposite of China’s mindset on economic development. China had all the ingredients to become self-sufficient on chip manufacturing and just needed a catalyst to start to cook. Trump became that catalyst and Biden continued to same policy.

You can test for mold using an air quality monitor that has a PM1.0. That means it detects particles <1 μm in size which is good for bacteria. Combine that with an air purifier suitable for the size of the cellar.

Windows to cellars should already have trickle vents otherwise it could get damp pretty quickly. Look carefully at the frame of the small window. If no trickle vent, look to install one.

We recently had Australian mainstream media talking about a slum in Australian iron ore sales to China and calling it sign of China’s property crash.

I wonder now if iron ore is trading within BRICS in a similar way and Australia is getting the cold shoulder for being the US puppet it is.

If the judge has no control, how did he buy and sell the stocks? He (or his wife) was “advised” completely independent of the case he’s on?

Pelosi’s husband makes a lot of stock moves too.

“No biggie guys! It was my stupid wife just making money accidentally!”

I agree the stock market is a big influence of the economy. Stocks are massively overvalued. There’s not enough available cash in existence if there’s big sell off on a major stock like Intel. Hence the need to print money. If the Fed didn’t intervene, that illusion of stocks actually having cash value would vaporise.

You’re a federal judge ruling on a Boeing case?

Now sentence yourself to maximum security prison.

None of those implications are bad UNLESS you are a manufacturer of those goods in the West. Or investing in those manufacturers. This is where WSJ falls flat on its ass.

The rest of the economy is a consumer of those cheaper goods. So the discounts on those goods makes the wallet go further. That’s good for consumption. Consumers might even throw more money towards those dogshit services that economists are now in love with.

Everyone just makes stuff for fun in China!

Sucks to be Joerg who only makes stuff for money.

Price down is … bad now? Just pay extra then and call it a tip!

Meanwhile our media and leaders are predicting war with China in 2027…

So how the fuck are submarines planned to arrive decades later going to be relevant? Shrug

“It’s not a recession! (We’re just fucking you over harder)”

NYT can’t seem to travel to the same places and counter the narrative of these bloggers.

My perspective would be that a government providing services like healthcare which is funded via taxation is not communist in any way. It’s just called government.

Maybe in a shithole where your government just taxes you and then you still fork out for healthcare, it might look like communism… But most people would just call it public services.

Assholes only appreciate bigger assholes.

No hope. You aren’t a reeducation camp.

Imagine being a member of a household where everyone shared all the maintenance or productive work based on their abilities, circumstances and preferences. Now expand that to a collection of households.
