"Well, now China can just invade people!🤡" is the wrong take, and is again, completely US-pilled.
It's centered on the idea that China can't think of what to do on its own, or considers itself limited to the set of rules determined by the US. It does not.
China gained in much more important ways.
What do you think the heads of state of Mexico, Denmark, Nigeria, Canada, South Africa, and Somalia are thinking this morning?
This is important because again, there are rare earth and other mineral negotiations going on right now that will determine the path that the next 25 years will take.

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on 1/3
"I have to stop you there," I told the guy. "You know that's not true, right. It's not making things more expensive, it's paying me. If they take $100 and a couple months later I get $120 that's like an investment."
To which he replied, "Have a good day."
Which, to be fair, meant I wasn't wasting time anymore, but also meant I didn't get to talk about the cost of pointless legal challenges, private spas, agency nurses, giving the province to developers and Loblaws, etc...
The caller from the OPC started to tell me about how the federal carbon tax was making life more expensive for everyone, and that the PCs had a plan to fight the carbon tax.
Now, I don't know what I was expecting, probably something about how unions were bad and getting a vodka tonic from an Esso was great, but nope, it was like we hadn't already been through a Supreme Court challenge and stickers that couldn't stick years ago...

"Wait. So if I understand your line of thinking here, Trudeau is the sun and Pierre is going to move in front of Trudeau and cast the world into sudden and absolute darkness?"
