BRICS org doesn’t actually mean or do anything, and as should always be mentioned: - India and China fucking hate each other and engage in frequent deadly border skirmishes - Same with Iran and Saudi but without the border - Egypt and Ethio

Yeah same. Labeling isn’t the same as the ridiculous cake cases they keep bringing.

Going to say the unsaid here: Why tf are Ethiopians trying to enter Saudi from Yemen (an active war zone) for economic reasons? Ethiopia has it's shit together! It's becoming one of Africa's success stories! It feels like the

What drives all this Euro cope though? The entirety of the internet shits on the USA, at all times, and the few times that people point out it's unwarranted the Euros completely break down. It's almost crybullying at this point.

The world is incomparably better than pre-capitalism. Yes, the healthcare system in the USA sucks. Doesn’t invalidate the rest of the thing.

They filed in Manhattan in particular for very good reason - the venue is extremely good at huge, complex bankruptcies like this. It's non-trivial to unwind these financial obligations, and is really only done in NYC. https:/&#

This is actually a great question! The United States bankruptcy court in the Southern District of New York is the best equipped place to manage a massive bankruptcy, likely on Earth. Every complex case you've heard of is managed ther

Man these comment section is angry. They literally say they neuter the model, and there's a number of writeups on how to neuter your model. Of course they neuter it in a way that matches the current SF zeitgeist. There are uncensored m

If we would let capitalists build instead of pretending that housing just appears magically, we’d have a better world. Investment funds state in filings that they buy properties in NIMBY areas because the local policies protect their invest

So far, 1 comment and it's apologia. Step 1 to fixing your problems is to admitting they exist, and that they're your fault.

I'm glad to see others say this. Canada is more or less a PR front for the tar sands. That free college for enby First Nations students? The new Montreal REM? Don't ask how they're paid for.

China and India regularly have border skirmishes. Brazil and SA are barely holding together as countries. India? Sure, but it’s also a nation of vegetarians with an environmental streak. I think they’ll get it together just fine.

Not everyone’s opinion is equal. Sometimes, for the good of a democracy, people should be told who they can vote for. There’s also never been a blowback to this. /s
