She sucks, I voted for Harper in the primaries but the Dems are full of neo-libs like her. It’s hard to see that party go more liberal even with Sander’s and AOC’s help

Downhill bicycle speed record, followed by Most gruesome bicycle accident.

Part of my company’s plan to weather the trade war was to stock up and wait for our competition to be priced out. We also expect the factories in China that supplied our competitors will shut down too. There is a ton of spare capacity with some of them and they work on slim margins. Even a short term downturn of orders can push many to close.

One day it might even be bigger than the U.S.

He should go to Mars

I wake up every morning hoping to read good news. I mean, with that diet it’s inevitable.

AC only goes on when it’s 90 out. Used it 5 times last year. People can adapt. It’s like cutting sugar from your diet.

I ran away to China cause I was getting fat unemployment checks that more than covered cost of living there. Ended up starting a new career because of it. Too bad we made all our allies our enemies this time. Maybe I can go begging in Windsor.

Things are permanently fucked. Inflation will go up on goods, deflation will keep lowering the value of the dollar. Shipments are being rejected at the ports on both sides. You couldn’t have screwed things worse for small - mid businesses short of a nuclear war. The GOP was efficient with destroying our economy this time.

You got to buy a car somehow. When I was 16 I got a job a McDonald’s just to do that. Took me 6 months of saving at $4.25/hr. to purchase a $2000 1979 Ford Bronco. Got 6 miles to the gallon and gas was around $.50/gallon. Insurance was around $25/mo. All of this and 4-6 CDs per payday was feasible on that pay.

This is why I use mbin over Lemmy. Better hot algorithm.

By getting into a great depression

Absolutely. The only advice I’d offer the younger generation is to wait until you are 25 to get tattoos. You may not be fully matured but you will reduce a lot of regret.

Massive cities with LED buildings, beautiful mountains with paved hiking trails all the way to the top and gondolas to get down, Long queues that are still orderly and move quickly, families eating large meals outside, friendly and very curious people.

I’ve spent a lot of time there. Compared to the west the cost of living is super cheap especially for all the options and amenities you get. Even in the hippest part of Chongqing I could rent an apartment 2x the size of my house for half the mortgage. If the US is headed towards a permanent authoritarian regime I would trade life here for over there. At least their dictator appreciates science and education.
