IMF revises China’s two-year economic growth upwards, cites strong GDP

This is basically tautological.

America’s still got it. I might not be getting much bread, but the circuses are top-notch.

would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.

If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.

GDP per capita is the only metric that matters. There’s absoutely no problem with it whatsoever.

This is the best America has ever been.

My standards are getting lower every year.

I’ll settle for regular rail and decriminalizing homelessness at this point.

I once saw a survey done in Seattle asking people whether they would prefer to eat feces raw or deep-fried. Based on the result of that survey, I have concluded that people in Seattle like deep-fried feces and are actively choosing to eat it.

In Arizona of all places. Americans are waking up more and more.

I’m devastated. I need to talk to the manager of grad right now!

China’s focus on the supply side to drive economic growth is creating problems in Europe, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China

Honest conversations are needed, while China should steer away from excessive self-reliance to create a more sustainable environment for foreign businesses

EU shamelessly plagiarizing from Britain once again. These words were spoken by British bureaucrats and merchants almost 200 years ago.

That is an interesting question. It is taken as an axiom so I never even questioned it until now.

Since money-lending is a practice with long history, I wonder if interest always was compound or if it was linear before a certain period of time.

For those who don’t speak Andrew Tate, he means “apex predator”

In the long-run, it’s impossible as the current high growth rates come from technological and infrastructural catchup.

It’ll be possible for roughly about a decade more as China’s still developing. Obviously subject to material conditions.

big Israel

It’s called the United States of America

Bong Joon-ho said it best. We live in one country called capitalism.

Nah you’re good. CPUSA members get a pass.

Actually no. I’ve had the thought to make this post for weeks but I was too lazy to actually do it until now.

Also, people are still waiting on me to bring over Chinese image macros for like 5 months but I swear I’ll do it next week.

Very good passage and it’s relevant in the modern world again. Arguably even more so than it was during Marx’s time in some respects.
