  • Their legitimacy have always been found in being the absolute sellout to empires and willing enforcers of colonists against their own people though. Anything else is just pandering to the sold out victims so they stop fighting back and make the sub pressor job a little bit easier. Normalize relationships with Israel will absolutely be fine with the Saudi as long as the US want it.


  • That’s only half the story they told you. After you dice, grind and melt the original material. You have to use some virgin materials as binder to get all that stuff together. The amount of virgin materials can sometimes surpass even the amount of old stuff and render the whole recycling process moot for those nasty material. That’s why you should have better just burn them all in a furnace or just bury them back in the ground where they belong.




  • Well, you just need to read between the lines there.

    uncertainty over China’s economic trajectory

    Read: uncertainty over ability to continue exploiting labors using your accumulated surplus

    geopolitical tensions…

    Read: closing window of opportunities to freely move your accumulated surplus elsewhere

    This is just like those immigrated nobles running from liberal revolutions in the past.

    First Gen immigrant here. Credit card obtainment is itself not that hard if you already have guardians or sponsors who are willing to cosign your paperworks. If you don’t even have that then it would have been impossible for you to even legally get into this sh*t hole to begin with so I have no idea why you said it was hard.

    The hard part is getting a credit line as high as 100k without a stable income and high credit score. Even many US citizens I known don’t even have close to that numbers in all their accounts combined fresh out of college. The conman in the post either already have rich relatives who are paying it back or must have lost even more cash withdrawn from China to bankroll his “scam”

    Lastly, regardless of how you spent that money, it’s still entrapped inside the US economy and thus not enrich his own country at all. Unless they bought gold or cash back to China, of course

    Doesn’t seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.











  • Whatever already existed won’t be thrown away regardless of the ruling. It’s like throwing all the gold already dug up just because it was done by slave labor. The law and legal actions are mostly just a moat around the pile of gold already dug up. Sure AI companies will have to pay more for the new data from other sources. However that would be peanut compared to how much they will have to pay starting from zero.
