Choke!

I had no idea! Thanks for the info.

I think the issue isn’t China finding other import partners, but the idea that they could quickly create a domestic industry for canola or comparable oils. Their economic model just allows them to target areas like this and, in a relatively short time, spin up new industries. They aren’t limited by the whims of the market and investors, the state can order these things to be created and subsidize them strongly until the industry can stand on its own. Just look at Chinese cars and tech products. There’s something like 200 Chinese auto brands! I don’t know how many phone and computer manufacturers there are in China, but the CCP specifically targetted both of these industries as points to address while it relied on imports and now their products outclass many foreign options. China is quickly becoming the largest and strongest economy in the world and a lot of that is due to state-directed industry projects focusing on domestic production.

I don’t specifically understand the canola market or industry. Maybe there are some limiting factors that prevent China from producing it domestically that makes this moot, but I just think it’s a risky game to play to assume China cannot produce something domestically in a few years if it becomes economically troublesome to import it.

I think it’s a very foolish assumption to think that China is incapable of retooling its economy to fix a hole created by a lack of Canadian imports. Their centralized economy allows them to respond much much faster to issues like this than market driven economies.

This leverage may exist now, but look at the US and soy beans. This can dry up in a year or two.

Maybe this one will fix his brain left again?

Barely a month old and already on sale. Damn. Not a good sign.

Annnnnnd now I miss playing Tribes.

Aotenjo: infinite hands is essentially balatro but with mahjong. There’s many more hand types and ways to specialize your Wall (deck). I highly recommend it

Looks like a grift

Is it the program real or is it another “social credit score”?

Wild how Republicans keep bending over backwards to protect pedophile rapists while also calling for state-backed violence on their political opponents!

That’s largely what the pre release reviewers said, too. It’s light on RPG elements but feels like Dishonored. They didn’t say it was bad, just unexpected and a different kind of game than the first.

Thanks for sharing, it’s great to hear different perspectives on these things as it feels like they aren’t so often discussed by normal people.

No, I haven’t. Have you? To live or to work? Can you share your experiences that make you feel it’s laughable?

Yeah and I get paid per reply, so keep it up

“Housing is for living, not speculative investment” is a policy the CCP adopted in 2016. They are leading the globe in renewable and clean energy production. It really seems like they’re building a society for the people and creating the infrastructure to make that happen.

I’m sure it’s not some perfect utopia, but where is? And it does seem like they’re headed to better places than we are here in the West.

Man, I would, too, if I could.

Sure, I understand there are political biases in reporting, but, like, through what lens is the costume chilling? It just looks like it’s made up so it looks like Tyler is on Trump’s shoulders. I don’t get how that’s chilling.

It makes for a better headline, but what’s so chilling about it?

Alt Right Podcaster, Stephen Crowder, who is being summoned by the ATF presumably to explain why he claimed they said that shit. The WSJ just ran with it because they’re not a reliable news org.
