2·2 days agoIf you have a bachelor’s degree you can get a TEFL certificate online and teach English or do a grad program, or try and find work in your field. If not, you can go to school there pretty affordably. Otherwise, start your own business there (Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise, WOFE) and you can give yourself a work visa that way.
4·4 days agoYes they are lucky they found something, the timing of their search was just in time
9·4 days agoThis one also doesn’t seem to include township village enterprises (TVE) which is probably 10-15% of economy
This is from 2009 but provides a lot of good data on the subject.
An important note from it is that most private companies in China at the time had less than 10 employees so it’s not big Bourgeoisie just because it is private. The majority of the GDP at the time came from SOEs
Edit: some more recent data says “The total capital of firms with some level of state ownership has risen to roughly 68% of total capital of all firms (40 million) in the economy in 2017. The share owned by the central government has declined while that of local governments has risen.” https://sccei.fsi.stanford.edu/china-briefs/reassessing-role-state-ownership-chinas-economy#%3A~%3Atext=The+total+capital+of+firms%2Cin+the+economy+in+2017.
Note that SOEs doesn’t include township village enterprises which are publicly owned at the local level
I already know scientists moving to Europe because they couldn’t find places to work in the US. Labs are not hiring here anymore, but the Euro labs seem excited and able to being in new talent
1·6 days agoYeah when I first read their argument it felt like a zio talking point tbh
At first I saw your response which I think was the best response at that time if taking their argument at face value, but then I thought about it a bit and decided to throw mine into the ring
Zionism is an extension of white supremacy, not Jewish supremacy. It is the toll that some Jews pay in order to become white. This is why Zionists still oppress Jews of color and invite and collaborate with non Jewish white supremacists, most of whom are definitively antisemitic, to become white and gain the power and privilege that come with it. The Jewish aspects of Zionism are exclusively to shield the project from criticism
3·7 days agoYeah I’m pretty sure it’s all of them these days but maybe there are some specialty canning spots.
It’s the paint on the lid, when I first read this report it seems like it was specifically metal lids
I think on the one hand, many many things in cans are acidic. Any sparkling beverages, anything with tomato, anything with added acid as preservative, with citrus, etc.
On the other hand, all the cans have the lining and tend to sit in hot warehouses and trucks and ships for weeks, if not months or even years, before being consumed. I don’t know if every can is releasing as much as a soda, but they all have it and it would be hard to believe that less acidic canned goods are not having leeching
the internal lining of cans is plastic, definitely not fine in this particular context
Is musk taking shrooms too?
If so, yeah he ain’t taking much
Ketamine isnt known for that in the way that something like DMT is. Elon is just doing ketamine to relax and zone out, he’s not eating peyote with the NAC
16·8 days agoWait wait wait, not like that!
21·8 days agoGlad to be introduced to this band, the music is great and I had never heard of them before all this. Hopefully the Streisand effect helps them
Yeah that’s what I was saying in a different comment but someone said it was an alias which made me wonder if he wasn’t
Ah so he is Al-Jolani, no relation to the Al-Jolani Al-Jolanis?
The irony is that he would be named Al-Jolani because his family is from there and he has totally betrayed the place by handing it to Israel
ehhh you don’t have to respond if you don’t want to talk about it here but it doesn’t really seem accurate. I looked at the link you provided and it doesn’t seem like you really read anything it says, and just looked at the headlines and decided he is a fascist.
for the global warming skepticism, you linked to an article that has an entire section about how global warming is real but criticizes the capitalist run bolt on initiatives and calls for people to start boycotting the companies directly to protect the earth. that is the opposite of climate change skepticism, but if you didn’t actually read the article, you wouldn’t know that.
a quote from the article from 2019
Human civilization - without doubt - is negatively impacting the environment.
Big-agriculture poisons our land and water with chemicals and genetic contamination. Big-oil chokes our air. Big-defense litters battlefields with depleted uranium constituting a modern-day equivalent of plowing the earth with salt. Plastic packaging necessary for “globalized” consumerism fills our land and seas. Even if one does not believe in mainstream notions of “climate change,” petroleum-based transportation has a direct and undeniable impact on human health that must be reduced if not entirely eliminated. The wealth and power consolidated by big-energy is also a major social problem that needs to be confronted.
If Greta Thunberg and her Fridays for Future activists wanted to “save the Earth,” they would be gathering outside the headquarters of the corporations responsible for these offenses - not protesting outside the offices of the politicians they own.
When “Fridays for Future” begins advocating boycotts of big-box stores and their oil-dependent, global-spanning supply chains in favor of local industry and business - when they protest genetically modified organisms and big-ag food in favor of locally produced organic produce, and when they begin advocating and investing in alternative energy rather than demanding the government do it for them - they will finally be on the road with a growing number of very real activists already working to truly save the environment.
They will also realize that these real activists - toiling for years - have never been known to them because the cameras and studios eagerly promoting “Fridays for Future” and their anemic, co-opted “activism” have already long ago worked hard to marginalize, censor, smear, and attack these genuine activists.
so you claimed he is a far right climate change denier and linked to an article where he says climate change is real and has a call to action to impact the companies responsible directly instead of doing performative actions. do you see why it doesn’t really add up?
I could respond more to the rest of your claims but I don’t want to type a whole essay about this, although the one “anti-vax” thing he wrote was before covid vaccines were available to the public and the entire article was about how the companies and people in charge of rushing them were legitimately bad companies that have long histories of hurting communities with their products. He wasn’t wrong and wasn’t using any of the RFK jr type of rhetoric about vaccines in general not working, viruses not being real, vaccines causing autism, etc.
I’ll just finish by saying, while I’m not surprised an ex marine chud who got into alt journalism was writing for infowars in 2012, I am very surprised that he has not only distanced himself from the right in general, but he has come around pretty heavily into being a good journalist who has done some of the best reporting on proxy wars and color revolutions by the west, has consistently predicted what was going to happen months and even years before it happened, and has been very vocally against nazis and trump and the rhetoric and ideologies those groups wield, which is actual fascism. No one here posting him is doing it to promote him as a comrade, a marxist theorist, or a role model to live by, but he’s a pretty good journalist who, at least for the last few years since I heard about him, hasn’t posted anything that seems very sketchy. You are claiming to know his opinions based on articles from over a decade ago or more recent articles that you didn’t even read or attempt to understand, it just seems like a real internet move to condemn him permanently as a source not worth looking at for things he wrote 10 years ago and seemingly has never written about again. People here still love Michael Hudson and he posts his content on a literal nazi website.
