I'm just describing what's happening. France and Germany are getting flows from china reducing their borrowing cost and are increasing their outsourcing to china

2 years of lockdowns + 1 billion ppl - they have to eat at some point
* Yes, the country isn't blowing up tomorrow or next 5 years
* They have insurmountable demographics issues
* They have no fookin dollars to buy anything that's why every single billionaire has majority of assets outside the country
- not everything is binary

Texture nuance/push pull
China may do better next year than now.
The dye is cast in terms of longer-term travails as Xi has been the dumbest chair in 50 years.
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
That's pretty priced. Even Song said Mao 2.0. Everyone agrees
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Geezus H - Japan in 30 years of retrenchment - but everyone knew... doesn't mean it doesn't follow thru
China will suffer a much worse fate for its citizenry

Mao 2.0 wont live more than 8 years. He's morbidly obease and chinese medicine is way behind. He's already 70

I don't even know what they are thinking. Who cares
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Do you understand the mindset of the CCP cult is 100 times more entrenched and insidious versus say the Russian leadership or any other authoritarian state.
There has been a caste system installed since Deng - where sons/daughters of the revolutionaries are provided the only pathway to any type of serious leadership position.
Everyone is defined by their specific background and everyone know where everyone else stands.
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
This is shit is even more refined than the state model described in 1984 - you have no idea.
The point being, the structure is maintained regardless if Xi is at the head of it.
It's very much like North Korea.
Eastern European or Middle Eastern autocracies have nothing like this.
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Except north korea isnt a market economy which actually prioritizes competition. Its actually quite the opposite. The thing that let the US win the cold war is that we broke up the monopolies and allowed the market to work. We didnt have the trebant we had 30 different companies. Peter Thiel wants to make us the USSR. The only way we win is if we break up thes behemoths https://www.wsj.com/articles/peter-thiel-competition-is-for-losers-1410535536
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Market economy - I can't...
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Do not confuse Zero rule of law with economic liberalism
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
99% of cases here are decided administratively too. We don't have rule of law either. When was the last time a monopoly admitted guilt or fault in a settlement with government
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Stop with this trite...
Democracies are by their very nature corrupt (to an extent) - it;s a system of checks and balances - and those with more resources can tip the scale.
There isn't a state directed imbalance.
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Humans are flawed, you me - that leads to corruption 24/7 - our system has a mechanism for self-cleansing - it's never perfect or even close but there's a system
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
We just need a president who actually enforces the laws and takes these bastards to court. Maybe breaks some monopolies up. Would that be so bad? We used to have leaders who had balls
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Secondarily, there are ppl who are more equipped to be rocket scientists, to be leaders or to be basketball players. Until, democrats can come to terms with this instead of woke ideology then we fall pray to teh same culture war trap that magas...

Yeah, I see the dilemma. I am hoping moderates come to their senses and bring forward a PeteB/Gavin Newsom.
TBTF, it's all about appeasing the black caucus and getting Clyburn's buy-in, which will be exceedingly hard.
@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @johnserwach
Just between friends, Clyburn is what you'd call an old school democratic machine created politician - think Tip O'Neil; think how do we wield power even if it's at the expense of broader Democratic interests.

Clyburn and Biden represent the “realist” wing of the Democratic Party that Plut espouses too & yet he wants another candidate🤦🏻♂️
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Plut just wants his stocks to go up. He doesn't care who is in office
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance

The company's core loss came in at $1.27 a share for the March quarter, an improvement from the $2.75 loss a year earlier, but worse than the Capital IQ-polled consensus of $1.05. Revenue climbed to $17.92 billion from $13.99 billion, just ahead of the Street's view for $17.56 billion. The stock rose 3.1% in early trading.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan's public safety chief has come under fire for his remark that he enjoyed eel rice so much that he kept eating after his agency informed him of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's narrow escape from a pipe bomb attack two weeks ago.
@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 I thought it was interesting that they translated it as eel-rice-bowl.
It *can* come in a bowl, but usually it comes in a square one. More like a box.
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12

I’m trying to picture an assassination attempt on Biden and Kamala says “yeah I was concerned but I couldn’t stop eating these ribs and greens…”😂
@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 Joke failure. 😂 His comments came a couple of days later, and two LDP pols had been speaking at the same venue, and apparently had cracked a joke that made the crowd laugh. So this guy, thinking the crowd was in the mood to laugh, gave it his best shot.
Immediately jumped on by other pols of course. Pretty stupid. But it was kind of a laughable assassination "attempt", so maybe he thought it would be received differently.
After Abe, however, it was stupid.
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus
That puts it in better context- it didn’t come off as that big a faux pas in English / AP story.

@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach If he runs, I won't be. Republicans will quickly coalesce around him, just as Democrats did around Biden.

I was saying about 50% of young people being socialists. Should not be surprised. Thats what happens when you bail out boomers
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @plutus I'm also thinking that 'socialist' does not mean to young people what it means to boomers, either.
When young people say they favor socialism, they are not talking about the state seizing the means of production.
