It matters because that missing minute is when he actually died. One minute he’s alive, the next he’s dead.

The video shows a totally different cell than the original news pictures yeah.

There’s a ton of intricacies to it though, for example if you live in Canada you can’t invest in one of the two retirement accounts without paying some pretty hefty fees. Primary residence are only excluded for a relatively small amount (might be enough if you live in a small town, forget it if you live in a major metropolitan area past a small one bedroom condo), and the division with a partner isn’t 50/50 like it is in Canada so your Canadian partner potentially looses a ton of money. Increases the cost of accountants and personal finance advisors by like three folds. Etc, etc…

I get that trying to get rich people to not use tax heavens is good. But this affects regular people who haven’t lived in the country for years, decades, as well as their non American families.

I know this first hand, and second hand, as my immediate and extended family is all sort of cross border intertwined. It’s a real pain in the ass.

Well there’s and entire minute missing, and the video was released with Adobe Premiere metadata…

In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US

How much maternity leave d’you get in the US? Cause in China it’s a minimum of 90 days up to 180. And an extra 15~30 days of pat leave. Mandatory paid holiday? US: 0 China: 11. Sick leave? US: 0 China: months (at reduced rate). Vacation? US: 0, China: 1 to 3 weeks.

An employer that fails to allow an employee to take annual leave must pay that employee 300% of the employee’s daily wages for each unused vacation day

The work sfatey certainly remains an issue, like any developing country, but things are rapidly improving.

Efforts at work safety shall be oriented around people and reflect the principle of people first and life first, with top priority given to people’s life safety. The philosophy of safe development shall be adhered to and the principles of safety first, prevention as the main target as well as comprehensive administration shall be followed to forestall and resolve major safety risks at the source.

Things aren’t all roses in China, but y’all have to get off of your high horse when you know fuck all other than bland ass propaganda.

I suggest you get familiar with concept of the Overtone window and how it has been shifting to the right for the past, pffft dix decades?

You could beat your wife, she couldn’t really divorce you, and couldn’t open a bank account. That’s usually why they love the 50s.

like worker protections or unions

That’s just patently false. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-China_Federation_of_Trade_Unions

It is the largest trade union in the world with 302 million members in 1,713,000 primary trade union organizations.

In September 2009, Ford entered into an agreement with the Department of Energy and borrowed $5.9 billion

They still hadn’t paid it back in full in 2022.

Alternatively we could start subsiding local car makers

We have been. Bailout after bailout. For the longest fucking time, and have had insane trade rules and tarrigs in place for decades and decades. I’d argue this is what it looks like to have another country finally being able to play on a level playing field.

Yes but also not really. The two state solution is a band aid at best, and a stalling tactic at worst. Without a full return to at the very least pre 1967 borders, there’s no way this is going to be any sort of morally justifiable. You truly think Israel is gonna get those settlers out? Ain’t gonna happen. Let alone the right of return of Palestinian refugees or reparations.

Ah nice, thanks for the update. I’m glad they changed the name, that’s a lot more attractive than something with Test in the name.

Consider Minetest instead? A libre/open source clone.

But he’s better in some way than PP.

FIFY, because clearly not in every way. In many ways, as evidenced here, he sucks just as much.

The issue is that now we’re stuck in the same cycle again of someone who’s going to make thing measurably worse for the average person, while driving the overtone window further right, and thus further drive the rise of the far right. Voting for the lesser evil is how we got to here. The system works as expected.

Don’t forget, he’s not just a banker, he was also the vice chair and chair of Brookfield, one of the world’s largest residential real estate landlord, the largest residential landlord in San Francisco, accused of repeatedly violating indigenous rights in multiple countries.

But hey, I’m absolutely convinced he can fix the housing crisis in Canada!

He can… As in he knows very well how to, since he was one of the main culprit for years. I will eat my hat if he does though. But hey when I pointed that out during the election I was a Tankie and Trump supporter or something.

Daniella Weiss is a nominee for 2025

But if it goes to Trump, it can’t also go to Daniella Weiss.

My finger was hovering over buying about 250$ worth of bitcoins at around 0.20USD a pop. Back then I was pretty broke. I had been unemployed for a bit was burning through savings and struggling to pay rent, so it was hard to justify.

What a dumb ass comment. Average .“world” L. Masoud has been in power since 2024. He’s from the reformist party. And was elected with 53.7% of the vote during the run off election.
