10,000 people detained out of how many tourists worldwide going to china? Like, I'm just trying to get some context because (1) a massive amount of people visit China every year and (2) how does this compare to other countries. A person being "detained" could literally just be a traffic stop or any other interaction with a police officer.

I guess my point is the article is purposely vague. How would this compare per tourist to the US for example?

Also, what you're mentioning is not at all what I mentioned originally. Which was about the article and Taiwan. You changed the subject to worldwide in order to make the number larger. Which, obviously it would be.

Edit: Asking about actual per capita comparison between countries is bad apparently. I guess "China bad" is heavier than getting actual data. Something this article completely fails to provide.

All great in their own way.

Isn't the whole major factor of climate change being that the atmosphere is able to retain more moisture? I may be wrong but I thought I read an article about this. A major shift being a lot of dry periods in regions followed by very wet periods. Essentially the atmosphere can hold more moisture so it has longer dry periods and then much more intense rain and floods. Which would obviously be similar for snowfall.

Hey I know this cat. Looks like the cast all 5 of the neighborhoods I grew up in had roaming around.

Ok. You bring up an important point. And I hope I can take a minute to convince you of something.

What you're saying is correct. But it relies on fundamental falacy of the way people try to view economics. When we say "capitalism" we're obviously talking about the entire economic structure; the "rules" for which an economy is organized and the government that enforcess those rules.

The issue with your comparison is that is is not at all comparable to the economic insensitives of massive companies. There is absolutely no valid way to compare a small business or individual hiring a contractor to what I was previously discussing.

I think our economic education suffers in this country because people tend to think of massive economies of scale as just a "bigger" small business. This is not at all comparable. And the waste that this produces is absolutely non trivial.

The "run the country like a business" people have this same flawed logic. They image that any business is just a "coffee shop" but with more employees and customers. But these things are just not comparable. It would be like everyone deciding about how to build an airplane but they assume that the physics are in a frictionless vacuum.

Dude is literally an Arab Jew. Wow. You can't make this shit up.

Did they condem Hamas though?

Somehow someone's gonna blame this on Hamas.

It's not though. Only under capitalism would be literally throw away an item and replace it with the exact same item in the same condition. The only reason for this behavior is capitalism and profit incentives. It's a waste of labor and resources and only benefits the profits of capital.

He's given up running it. He did his part. He was the charismatic con man. Dude is enjoying signing his name on shit he has no clue about. Seriously, it's almost like a child like joy I see on his face just being like "me important man with big marker".

Shits being run by the billionaire Oligarchs. He just enjoys being the public face at this point. He enjoys trying to sell whatever bull shit is being done. He fucking loves it. But he's absolutely not running shit.

Yeah. I know you're just adding it for the comment. But don't actually bother the cashier with some grandstanding or lecturing. Honestly, a good "nah, I don't like kids" is a much better response to brighten their day. They've heard Karen complain about the guilt trip nature 100x already.
