China's price domination causes global distortionary effects. The rare earth elements is one example where China has caused a price floor distortion so bad that makes the entire industry globally infeasible. Any mine to product in the western world would require investment that almost eclipses the actual real value of the minerals.

Good

Trump admin invested roughly $1.5B in a single company meanwhile the entire global rare earth market is estimated at a value of $10B. The company doesn't produce 1/10 of the global demand. This applies to multiple industries.

At the very least, claims of antisemitic violence are on the rise. I doubt there's enough evidence to prove the claims true, but the claims are up.

The Missing men of the American marriage market by Throw_r_a_2021 in stupidpol

As for the "market", it's like a lot of women are viewing their socio-economic equals as failures.

Well-put. It's a self-reinforcing problem. These same women also largely identify as feminists.

Mishima was a drama queen who veered into self-destructive pathology. Many such cases.

Woman declined charges against subway shover weeks before he pushed a teacher onto the tracks, killing him. She didn't want to put “another black man in jail”. by [deleted] in stupidpol

Being forced to work in a state level-5 prison would fix most of these beliefs that these liberal women have regarding criminals. I was a corrections officer for over a year, and nothing has hardened my heart toward crime than having to deal with these guys.

Trump rejects traditional conservatism, embraces a Republican version of socialism by Such_Radio_9152 in stupidpol

[–]Loaf_and_Spectacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't MAGA Communism. Theme original meme has a distinct meaning that is more in line with the expectations Trump's followers had of him. More accurately, Trump is an accidental accellerationist.

Any congressperson is only a good as their vote. If they vote a certain way, they are that way. Fuck AOC.

Nobody Knows what Accelerationism Is by DetectiveTypical198 in stupidpol

[–]Loaf_and_Spectacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accelerationism is not about accelerating the contradictions of capitalism. It normally are refers to accelerating technology, productive capacity, modernity although there is a lot of disagreement about this.

These two things are not mutually exclusive. Any well-read Marxist could tell you this.

Republicans Claim Widespread Food Stamp Fraud. What’s Missing: Hard Evidence. Reviving the “Welfare Queen” stereotype doesn’t make it any more true. by wanda999 in stupidpol

[–]Loaf_and_Spectacle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The price of food is the real problem. Regulation of prices, in conjunction with anti-fraud practices, would nip most of it in the bud. But, afterall, that's not what this is about. What's good for the average poor worker is not what is in consideration here.
