well, all I gotta say is, the 'diversity and inclusion' officer at my company makes alot more than me, and it was explained to me this way: how much do I contribute, maybe 400-500k a year at best? But if diversity and inclusion officer stops 1 lawsuit that can be 5-10 million. Whose more important?
Pettis : but That's contributing to coonsoomtion GDP.

Do you remember what I wrote earlier?

This is pretty much line in line with it. They deregulated everything and based the economy on debt-fueled consumerism. The only part I don't agree with is the austerity part. It may be true for government spending after 2008. But it isn't true for the UK in general. The UK has one of the smallest investment rates in the world and it is a net importer.

UK, as a case study of evolution of modern capitalist societies, is emblematic to the cyclical nature of nation states. When UK started first industrial revolution, it practiced raw capitalism. Fast forward to today, UK becomes a society of post-capitalism. I guess, god knows, there are a few critical factors that underpin this evolution. I just want to point to one factor that is missing in China's dynastic history: UK's parliamentary democracy, which so far fails to save UK from its downward spiral. I guess the model of representative democracy is getting into a crisis mode as more formerly advanced democratic nations are struggling nowadays. In this backdrop, it is only logical that UK is going to be America's bitch for the foreseeable future, because it has effectively shut all other doors for its survival.

Bruhh biomedical that low, and that's with sky high Healthcare price.

In fact, the average salary for a bachelor’s degree in biology is lower than sociology ($32,994), psychology ($29,141), and English ($31,770).

However, the industrial development in these areas has been modest to date, and the BME job market, although growing quickly percentage-wise, is still small. Certainly, there is a huge biotechnology industry that has been well-served by the nation’s life science educational and research system of the nation, but enhanced in only a limited way so far by the growth in BME. Unfortunately, the job market for life scientists is weak at all levels—and, by extension, the life-science-oriented end of the BME student spectrum must work harder for a job.
Basically, life science is like the reverse Midas: any job that has to do with healthcare in the US that is not doctor or nursing has shit pay.

Way back when I was in school they were pushing the interdisciplinary biology thing very hard with biomedical engineering profs speaking to new students trying to recruit people to biomedical engineering major, a new "biochemistry and molecular biophysics" major in physical sciences, a "biophysics" graduate program, etc... yeah don't fall for that stuff. Software + traditional economy stuff guaranteed to have something like mechanical engineering for automotive or some shit is all that matters.

BTW, they're pushing semiconductors now with a new "interdisciplinary materials science and engineering" program for chemistry/physics/chemE. The saving grace is that unlike biologists, you actually have to know math and physics to do materials science. So wages will only drop like a rock, rather than drop like a boulder.

its almost like these universities are taking orders from some economic control authority on what majors to push...

Wow Twitter #SouthKorea is full of graphic videos of dead Koreans piled up in Itaewon. I'm surprised they didn't remove these videos, and there's something creepy about seeing all these male paramedics giving CPR to already dead female women.

It's quite horrifying to see so many suffocated faces in one video. Especially when they're in Halloween costumes and actually dead for real.

Does China have any similar plans?
Similar plan such as "Electrolysis Hydrogen plant" inside China as small scale experiment, YES.
Plan of large scale production inside China, NO.
Plan to build such plant outside China such as exporting to Kazakhstan (I suppose this is what you are asking), NO, not until China herself is committed to such practice.

EU is basically paying Kazakhstan for land to produce Hydrogen as energy source exported back to Europe. Kazakhstan gains regardless if the hydrogen economy works in practical terms. EU is taking the full risk.

The idea of Hydrogen Economy circle is still in its early infancy, there is a chance that it will never work, heavily investing in it at this stage is highly risky. Japan is a very good evidence that it does not work, not on the scale of the size of Japanese economy at least.

There is no reason for China to compete with anybody including Europe for the moment, just keep it a small scale experiment in China and watch the development elsewhere would be the best strategy. China's advantage is that it is large, meaning its own market is enough to sustain a full scale eco-system to breed any new technology, the best example is TD-SCDMA LTE/4G and 5G. The dominant 5G is TD scheme which is a Chinese invention during 4G time. That means with the sheer size, China can quickly dominant anyone even if China is a bit late (like 4G) so long as China stay in the game.
