Wouldn’t that have made the USSR capitalist as well? I think a key distinction is how authority within a party is established. If authority is derived from ownership then that is clearly capitalist. If authority is derived from the party itself, then that is something else.

That’s all hard to do when billionaires are the ones structuring society. The point is we don’t get to choose corrective societal actions unless it is an exercise of individual privilege. I would have loved to take the train to visit relatives, but it literally is not an option.
Urban centers have less waste or CO2 per capita than their rural or suburban counterparts. The problem is our pursuit of ever increasing profits is extremely wasteful but is currently how states gain influence.
Ehh, the capitalist class doesn’t call the shots in China though, the party does. And their private corporations don’t simply have shareholders, it has party representation embedded in the control structure making “ownership” moot because ultimately the party can veto or seize production at moments notice.
That being said, when Xi starts claiming socialism is inevitable, he does so to delay it’s implementation.
More like billionaire pedophiles are a special class of people that get extra rights. All other mutants get the shaft.
She changed her last name to not be associated to the guy. I can at least respect she doesn’t want to be defined by her opposition to her father.

I agree people are selfish but I disagree on where that leads us. Acting as a collective is the best way to be selfish. Billionaires have their collectives: corporations; and if you don’t do the same then you are not even selfish, you are just cattle.

Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.
The truck says “War” on it. This is why voucher schools exists, so that I, as a parent, don’t need to deal with this kind of parent and their kids.
Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.
There’s being rich and then there’s being wealthy. Being wealthy means you can fuck up everyday and still be rich.
Needing to own a car to exist in society is a tax.
Not $200 but ended up buying a xerox phaser. When looking at cost per page it is one of the cheapest though.
Maybe I’m weird but I don’t like getting a scanner combo. Scanners break more easily than printers and after my Brother all-in-one had a busted scanner I’ve been going for portable scanners that run off USB power from the laptop. Canon lide has been a solid scanner for me.
I think this is trans positive, here’s why:
Top left: trans women are hot
Top right: hetero person who is confused by being attracted to a hot woman, they will make themselves known unfortunately
Bottom left: explicit support
Bottom right: chad will agree and be supportive when their sis are hurt. (I choose to believe this was the intent because I want to believe in humanity)


Because AI does nonsensical things that would require extra effort for a human to do, in this case the lady has a soccer purse and a soccer ball
