I can feel storms before they arrive. Like I sense the air change so I’m in tune with things like this. I couldn’t sleep for a few days so I spent the time watching videos about China imminently doing things. The same sensation occurred and I could see Chairman Xi out of the corner of my eye, but he was a shadow version of himself.
“More houses than people, stupid commies. Don’t they know you’re supposed to have less houses than people so the people have to fight each other for them and the people who lose don’t get a house to motivate everybody.”
Not even the whole “stupid commies have more houses than people” more like half-remembering the stories about the Chinese ghost towns that were popular prior to the neighbourhoods in Chongqing being completed and people actually moving in.
Meanwhile 30 minutes outside of most major cities look like the setting of a fallout game because of the logical conclussions of capitalism.
I visited chicago and there was, at the entrance near the like on-ramps for the highway (off-ramp?) densely packed tents along the road.
the US has more houses than people, what are they talking about… a lot of them just stand empty so homelessness can be maintained.
Those aren’t empty houses they’re unrealized investment opportunities.
Unlike the Chinese who lack the ability for forward thinking.
