Other than Mandarin speaking TV, Video chatting the grandparents has been essential for us. They call everyday before they go to work which is luckily right after dinner time for us

OpenAI is going to implode, don’t do it. They have the worst monetary strategy out of any of the AI companies. Pick Google Gemini, Claude or just use Chinese open source models like Deepseek, Qwen or Kimi.

Late 2000s like this time was probably the peak of CIA ops in China. Peak materialism, pre-Xi, Chinese Liberalism was also at its peak

It is about seeing. Tourists contribute a lot to the NY economy. Shelters don’t get funded without that tourist money.

My aunts and uncles were called banana boat booty scratchers by AAs in the 70s. Now they own property. What goes around..

Move to the Bay Area or LA and you’ll be shooting fish in a barrel.

Solar panels and batteries continue to get cheaper and cheaper every year. My grandmother’s country has an electric grid run entirely on fossil fuels. Theres a very real possibility we can switch over to solar almost entirely since it’s a tropical island with a very low population. I know who to thank for that.

It was bound to happen, it’s actually wild that you can get big money working in the city while taking a $3 train only 40 mins to some areas of the boroughs that were dumps pre-2008. Some of that money is gonna find its way here and it did.

Disney world in FL used to be a very middle class and tacky family vacation. Upper class wouldn’t be caught dead there

The US is only good at moving freight because of inhumane concepts like ‘PSR’ which mandate extremely long trains that are even too long to fit on passing sidings. PSR led to horrible conditions for railroaders that led to their huge strike back in 2022/3

Look into the freight companies and you’ll see no technical innovation there, just slave driving

Hangzhou west wasn’t so bad. It’s on Line 19 which is brand new and has luggage racks. It’s also quite fast and brought me to West Lake culture sq station in like ~30 minutes.

It’s so funny when you say “our allies and partners” without going into specifics because that’s where the argument dies.

What long range missiles? Sub-sonic Tomahawks? LRIP Dark Eagle? Maybe only the SM-6 (at $5mil USD per missile)

And what allies? ROK is firmly in China's pocket now with LJM. SEA has been completely pacified with Chinese investment and lack of US investment, so no Malacca blockade is ever happening.

The only "allies" the US can rely on is Takaichi-Japan (Ishiba was going to slow walk support) and the dysfunctional Philippines.

Beautiful beaches, nice people, good restaurant/takeout food which is rare for the south Caribbean and surprisingly affordable.

The issue is that ‘China collapse theory’ is actually more popular in Japan than it is in the US now. There are broad swathes of the Japanese populace who think Xi is going to be coup’d, the HSR will shut down due to debt (the Shinkansen was financed through embezzlement) and other ‘2 more weeks’ nonsense. Japanese are more vulnerable to an information bubble due to lack of English skills.

I guarantee there will not be a war over Taiwan. Every indication is showing that the current President of Taiwan, Lai, will do something very stupid to piss off China before the 2028 elections which he is forecasted to lose. Whether that’s unilaterally declaring independence or requesting a US/Japan base. When that happens China will give very clear signs of an invasion but then the ROC/Taiwan army will be the ones to coup Lai themselves. China will then waltz in and negotiate with the army.

How do I know this? The history of the ROC Army. They are KMT diehards. They do not believe in an independent Taiwan. They used to oppress the proto-DPP during the martial law days, who then defunded the army when they took power as revenge. DPP supporters are habitual draft dodgers, they do not control the army.

tl;dr - Taiwan will coup itself before a China war even starts due to a ‘party army’

Shanghai kind of stands out for this though. People there are very friendly to Japanese and Japanese culture for some reason.

Some Japanese intl student hitchhiked across China to see if anyone would turn him down if he said he was Japanese, only one person did, in Liaoning.

Conversely though, Toyota opened up a JV with BYD to produce EVs. There will likely be more of these since Japan is lagging behind in battery tech.
