lol, interesting :)

USA does this to own European?

China just want the land anyway :-/

How this ends is of course unclear

??? It is pretty clear, unfortunately, China will take Taiwan in the coming months/years, and USA will do absolutely nothing.

This guy can fuck off, and he can buy his lumber or energy elsewhere if he wants

maybe 4000% yep or 40000 ?

Yes, but companies use tap water from water treatment plant, it cost $$$ to run all those.

Company pay ~$1 for 1000L of water, to fill Aquafina plastic bottles or whatever, and sell the 500mL bottle for like $2, something like 400% profit

US companies does the same elsewhere, for instance Coca Cola or PepsiCo or others comes to Québec to take billions of gallons of tapwater (it’s basically free) and sell it in the world.

I think it happened in time before, but when you have a lot of young people doing nothing like this, you better control them to avoid a general backlash/revolution. Being China, enrolling them in their army and invading a country/going to war, will keep them busy. It’s unfortunate, but it’s CCP.

It’s about everywhere, also in USA, when a newly elected official having a net worth of nothing significant, earn, let’s say, 200k per year, but after 5 years has a net worth of 10 millions ?!?

Why not good old Australia?

Same in France, universities are about free, and I had a small scholarship because my parents were not rich, so in a way, I got paid to go to uni

Next: ever heard of Soylent Green?

Just give info@rawstory.com or something

Same…

Well, building your own plane exists for years, there is big communities and forums etc nowadays, but even in the 50s you were able to do it, buy kits, etc.

Since March 2020 I work at home. No more 1h morning 1h afternoon of traffic jam. I’m a programmer, it changes basically nothing in my life. I’ll never go to an office downtown and lose 2h+ a day, never.

Also I can have flexible hour now so I’m doing 7AM-3PM, it’s wonderful, it changed my life. Instead of being home at 6+PM I’m free at 3 to go in the pool or groceries or whatever.

I’m saving hundreds of dollars in gas and lunch too.
