“Settler” is too neutral a term to describe these thieving jackasses.

He should be careful of what he wishes for because if they factored in “the righteousness of israel’s path” then the credit rating would be C.

b-b-but the ecomony!!1

Depleted? That doesn’t sound good.

Will drops in commodity prices show up as deflation or will that just mean greater margins of profits?

70% of China’s GDP is powered by its real estate market?! Do you have a source on that? This says it’s about 20-30% https://www.axios.com/2023/10/11/chart-chinas-real-estate-struggles

which funnily enough, sounds about what it is for Canada, which I could see also imploding from its over-reliance on real estate.

Thanks for all that information! The point about deficit spending in particular was something I had a vague idea about, but seeing the numbers on spending vs GDP change is very insightful. The US has a huge advantage with its top reserve currency status. I do wonder how isolated the US is from China’s problems. It seems like so far it hasn’t had much of an impact on the US, but it’s hard to imagine failures in the second-largest economy of the world not having some sort of domino effect.

“Growth at all costs” is the fiscal policy of the US as well, what’s the difference between the US and China in this regard? If it’s a matter of government intervention, let’s not forget the ridiculous amount of money pumped into the market thanks to actions from the fed. The interest rate has been increased after such a long time of near-zero rates, but there is already begging for rate cuts.

Bunch of amateurs. Don’t they know that the proper approach is to flood the internet with articles of “the economy is doing amazing, you peasants just don’t know it”?

Ah okay, thanks for the info!

What does being on the list mean? According to the article, Ukraine is happy to sell to China anyway.

But they already had the intelligence necessary to prevent that attack, it’s just that bush ignored it.

The guy who made a show where he becomes president clearly had no political ambitions.

What were they doing in Jordan?

Taking a “this is justified because fuck Russia” line of logic to its logical conclusion is not the same as equating data loss to loss of human life.

Following that logic, civilians should be fair game because “Russia can get fucked”.

The story itself is about supposed disinformation which is a super power manipulating “a dumb mass” but for some reason you take issue with me pointing out an influence but not the article pointing out an influence. Then you contradict yourself by assuming that I must be employed by the Chinese, as if there is no “peoples will” and that I couldn’t possibly be pointing out something I observed myself.

Hell yeah, score another point for the anti-science team!

Is this code for the US-favored candidate winning?
