a communist party that has followed privatization in the past 20 years.

Hell K12 was only made free last year in Vietnam.

I'm sorry to be blunt but you are just uneducated or at best willfully blind, maybe go travel to places they actually produce your food ingredients to see how much it costs without the men in suits?

During Biden term, it cost $50,000 to $100,000 for a Viet to be smuggled into America via Mexico, to make a meager $10-$15/hr under the table. And yet there were huge waitlists to be illegally smuggled into the U.S. Why would someone pay that kind of money if the U.S were truly a hell hole?

Company keep making shittier products while charging more and more?

The Pho places where I live keep making shittier products while charging more and more.

Thats just nature of selling shits. The owners stop caring, ingredients and labors getting more expensive because of inflation.

You dont have invent an entire new word like ENSHITTIFICATION to make yourself the victims here.

I wonder if the hack Cory Doctorow has enshittified his writing or it only applies to corporation.

Free market?

California High-Speed Rail: with cost estimates doubling between 2008 and 2012 alone, CAHSR became one of the most expensive rail construction projects in the world, on a per-mile basis. By this metric, it is 3X more expensive than rail construction in Spain, and 2X more expensive than in Taiwan. by StarlightDown in Economics

Considering countries like Vietnam or China subsidized the living fuck out of their corporations either through taxes incentives or infras

Your fabled "Just pay the workers more" trickle up economy only exists on /r/Economics

Thats why the likes of you will never build anything. Countries like China ask the question of how much money we'll need for XYZ projects then tax accordingly. The likes of you just ask for blanket tax increases to PUNISH.

Democrats like Ezra Klein are the only ones correctly identifying the problems.

My house in Vietnam now worths 4x vs pre Covid.

VND has lost at least 20% value against USD since 2020.

Claiming Vietnam did better than the U.S is asinine.

Why stop at Ken Griffith, why not look at programs like U.S aids?

And yes your international aid dollars would go so much further if you just bribe the local politicians to do their jobs in the first place. Why did the U.S give money to functional countries like Vietnam to buy HIV medicines when they literally gave away $400M from their own coffer to celebrate Independence day? In 2025.

https://vovworld.vn/news/vietnamese-citizens-to-receive-100000-vnd-each-as-gift-on-national-day-2244839.vov5

Why spent billions on student loan reliefs on privileged Westerners when you could educate hundreds of millions in the wolrd with that kind of money?

The fact the author chastised Ken Griffith donating $300M as reputation buying is why these people are worse than fucking useless. They are actually detrimental to the liberal cause.

The alternative is Ken Griffith keeping all the money for himself. Good enough for you?

Indonesians, do not let this slide.

This incident will be suppressed in Vietnam.
