Canada as a nation has a concept of common good.
America is obsessed with the idea of not helping the poor because if they’re not incentivized to “bootstrap,” they’ll get lazy.
Americans die of not having access to drugs that are developed In America and subsidized by American tax dollars.
I think we all know which is more ethical.
Many Americans do not care. Brains have been rotted by their social media and “anti-woke” identity politics so critical thinking is waning. They’ll pay more and find a way to not blame it on Trump.
America as a positive cultural force in the world is on its dying breaths. It was a good run. The rest of the world should be looking at moving forward while leaving America and the crypto, AI, and social networking dystopia it seems obsessed with creating behind.
The rest of the world should be emphasizing divestment in the US and, overall, leaving America behind at this critical juncture.
Trump administration says fentanyl though very little moves across the Canadian border. They’re using it to declare a national emergency and therefore bypass Congress.
From Canada’s perspective it’s to weaken Canada’s perspective it’s to weaken the Canadian economy so that it’s easier to annex.
US compartmentalizes based on race. It’s apparent in essentially all of the media they export to the rest of the world.
Historically American society operated based on a race based caste system and the consequences of that echo into the present day.
Is there a guide you’d recommend following?
US is in a state of slow implosion. Rest of the world needs to look at collaborating while excluding the US.
My guess is China will fill the void left by the disintegration of USAID in order to boost its global standing.
I strongly encourage all nations to begin violating US intellectual property rights. Nations like India already do so with pharmaceuticals.
Eventually other nations will need to take on the mantle of tech and pharmaceutical research and development and we don’t want to live in a world where all this progress is lost.
Americans have chosen to nuke their own democracy and we need to minimize the damage done to the rest of the world as much as possible.
Eh you can achieve similar or greater privacy on a Android phone simply because it’s not locked down in the way an iPhone is.
Surely that’s not a uniquely American phenomenon.
They used to innovate, no doubt. But their products provide absolutely terrible value now. Great resale, sure. But you’re overpaying 20% for the hardware you’re getting which is not the case on the Android side. The only thing iPhone universally does better is 1) video and 2) ecosystem (if all your products are Apple). The rest is a tomaeto vs tomahto situation.
Not relevant to most basic users but I could not use a phone where I did not have the freedom to sideload apps, especially if I’m overpaying for the hardware.
Gen X is a mixed bag when it comes to this but most I’ve come across are more like Boomers than Millenials on this.
Low labor costs and centralization but the how matters less than the if and when (will they supercede the US) in this scenario.
EVs in the next 10 years. They’ve made massive investments dating back over a decade while the US can be described as aimlessly meandering like a drunk on the side of a freeway at best.
Really not the time to sleep on China if you want to keep your Imperial empire guys.
China completely ravaged US manufacturing and y’all are still in the corner wanking over ‘cheap Chinese product.’
China doesn’t just make the cheap things you use. They make everything you use.
Stop licking your wounds with petulent little jabs like this and start finding a way to compete. You know, the way your sacred free market dictates that you should.
China went from making cheap things to making everything you use cheap with either you or the American corporation you purchased from pocketing the difference.
They’re on a path to making things better than the US and once they do, we’ll have a new world order. If the US doesn’t wake up now, the second half of this century will be very different than the past 150 years.
It’s a Millenial trend borne of new financial pressures that Boomers and Gen X didn’t have to deal with.
Artists create original content.
Same. No one wipes a kids ass for 2.5 years to be spoken to like that. I get kids and teenagers are a little rough around the edges but this sounds like a grown adult.
Deepthink R1(the reasoning model) was only released on January 20. Still took a while though.
You’re watching an empire in decline. It’s words stopped matching its actions decades ago.
Since it’s open source is there a way for companies to adjust so it doesn’t intentionally avoid saying anything bad about China?
At least they didn’t carve them into a mountain though?
