South Korea has North Korea to repopulate them after the collapse though, so it’s not all over for Koreans. It’s ironic that they should almost thank the fact that China intervened in the Korean War and prevented unification.

Otherwise they’d be like Taiwan giving their land over to Indians.

Harris? Lmao

They should just let Biden stay imo. Harris is just that bad.

Actually, Biden endorsing Harris as President is his best revenge against his own fellow Democrats.

Biden retreats back to his Delaware home after getting COVID. Trump attends late night Republican National Convention even after getting shot. See the difference.

There’s zero chance Biden will win the election. He’s either going to step aside using getting Covid as medical excuse, or lose to Trump in a landslide.

Furthermore, because of perceived weakness of Biden, democrats are at risk of losing the House too.

If Chinese Americans want to protect their interests and have their voices heard, then they should get more involved in politics.

Do you think that works?

Black America has produced some iconic political leaders, Martin Luther King, Malcom X, there has even been a Black President in Obama and what has it done?

Biden should resign from the presidency to but we all know he wouldn’t. If he is unqualified to run as president. Then how is he still qualified to be president for 6 more months.

Is there still any chance Kamala will be purged together with Biden and clear the way for Newsom?

Or maybe at least pick him as running mate or something.

Still holding onto the 牛送国 hopium.

Interesting video displaying some manufacturing quality control in the e-bike industry in China. The stereotype is that China doesn't care about quality. No, it's really the US corporation that outsources who doesn't care about quality. I've heard it said you can get quality from China if you pay for it. That tells you how much US corporations are the ones that don't care about quality.

In China they can now tell which worker on the assembly line doesn't screw in a bolt correctly so he or she can be given more training if necessary because every part is tracked on each bike and they know who assembled it. I bet that kind of scrutiny would never be allowed by American unions hence why you have missing or untightened bolts on Boeing airliners.

This is how it is for every science and engineering environment. Smaller margins of error require more dps (decimal places) and every extra dp is a magnitude more expensive than the last. You want something with an extremely low margin of error? It's gonna cost ya. Capitalists will try to optimize for as few dps as possible that still sells.

Though I wouldn't expect the average consumer to understand that.

1. Cost of housing in Canada is so mismatched with wages in some locales that a random suburb of Toronto is the 2nd most expensive place to live in North America

Having lived in all 3 of these (Canadian) cities, I can't help but laugh how badly fucked Canada is. Hamilton is more expensive than Toronto... rofl. For those who don't know, Hamilton is the Detroit of Canada - a deindustrialized shithole with a serious drug problem with the most pollution in the country. This is a city that hasn't even developed a mass transit system other than regular city buses. Yet somehow it is the #4 most expensive city on the continent. You can't make this shit up, fr.

I'm not denying the cost. Just pointing out the blatant ponzi schemes setup by the government.

I am certain the only major thing really sustaining this country is the real estate bubble. Any measures to reduce property values so most citizens can actually afford to live would mean cutting off the life support of the government, reduction in the already disabled social services such as the crappy free healthcare where an appointment with a specialist has a 6-month waiting list or the senior's pension which is ... check this out ... maximum $1360/month (i.e. not even enough to cover the rent). Lmao. So when young working Canadians, the few who are able to save $, plan for retirement, knowing the pension will be insufficient, they do what? They invest in the m̶o̶s̶t̶ only lucrative industry in the country - real estate ... adding fuel to the fire.
