No, most of the debt is owned domestically by the people

Mostly because the US has to actually develop and research new weapon technology and China just copies everything so they don’t need to spend as much.

I had to listen to a guy talk about the fanfic he was writing for 4 hours. So anything but that I suppose.

It’s not about how people vote. It’s about getting people to vote. Emotionally charged people are more likely to vote/volunteer/donate etc.

I’m talking out of my ass by the way, I have nothing to prove any of this.

My pet theory is that this was said specifically to destabilize the US. As others have said, this is not new. China has been saying this for a long time. But 100% the GOP is going to call Biden weak for not shutting Xi down and instead saying the US supports a "One China Policy " without any critical thought as to what the dynamics are.

This is to fire up the right wing base.

They’re pretty much the same. I think anarchist took Jolly Roger and expanded on it. Worth mentioning, don’t actually do any of the stuff in there. The chemistry is suspect and the tech stuff is laughably outdated.

I liketo think my take on the conflict is pretty nuanced. Generally, I don’t like the State of Isreal.

Let me be crystal clear with what I just wrote: I believe the government of Isreal has fostered a culture of dehumanizing Palestinians and is complicit in crimes against humanity. This is apparent with its history of stealing land and extra-judicial killings of Palestinian civilians by the IDF. The people of Israel deserve so much better.

This sentiment also largely applies to Palestine. The Hamas Government triggered this conflict by striking at civilians in Israel. I understand that their primary driving ideology is to kill jews and I think that is fucked up. I also understand that after years of the afore mentioned land grabbing and killings it has led to these extreme attacks by Hamas. It really feels like a chicken and egg situation, which started first. Either way the people of Palestine deserve so much better.

I am more than capable of assigning blame to the appropriate places and lament the affects it has on the victims of violence.

Ohh what a fun argument! Is this comment referring to Palestine or Isreal???

Jokes on you, my wife’s Grandmother will click on any and every link she sees.

Ya he’s giving off some real Libertarian/FrEe MaRkEt/whatevenistheageofconsent vibes

I hated that article. I don’t need all of the charged language or opinion. Here’sthe WSJ article if y’all want to read it of note, the WSJ isn’t really making a determination here. Mostly just quoting out of touch executives and labor firms.

I’m all for work reform but how this comes back on the Wall Street Journal is beyond me.

I’m actually the opposite. I’ve tried using Lemmy and I still do to an extent but I dunno. I love the feel of kbin
