I know china has done some pretty fucked up things. But they’ve also built 25,000 miles of high speed rail, and a billion, that’s 1000000000, sq ft of new housing, just in the past ten years. I don’t know what percentage of the world’s solar panels come from China, but I’d bet it’s up there. They brought a billion people out of bone crushing stomach churning poverty in the course of a few decades.

When you stack up the fucked up things we in the west have done, vs what China’s been up to… If given the option I’d think long and hard about emigrating to china.

And a shower. Magnificent

I was trying to respond to the comment I’ve copied and pasted below. Apparently Lemmy never lets you delete misplaced comments

So, projects? I would love to see a solution to home prices and the inequality they create but I think projects have been shown to work out poorly in the US.

Go take a look on google maps. There’s parks, nature. You can have a connection with outside spaces and nature without living in a subdivision.

Dreds a dope movie. Might be one of the best action films IMHO

I swear to God it’s like my countrymen saw a rap video shot in the projects when they were young, and now think the crack epidemic was the fault of public housing.

Using kwaloon walked city is disingenuous AF. Kowloon was a shanty town left to its own devices, governed neither by the British or the Chinese due to a quirk of geography and diplomacy. Kowloon (the walled city area now a park, not to be confused with the neighborhood) was never built to any sort of plan.

At it height kwaloon had 40,000 people living in it. In hong Kong alone there’s now close to 10million, most of whom live in apartment buildings. It can work. It does work. Every day.

As opposed to the suburban sprawl we have now? Every lawn fertilized, every driveway 2.5 cars? Or the shanty towns?

It turns out building housing is as easy as building housing. I would absolutely live in one of these if they were correctly managed. A half a billion Chinese people can’t be all that wrong.

Throw a few of these up in every city. Would go a long ways quickly to solving problems.

Phone for me. The controls aren’t involved enough to require a keyboard mouse. Imho anyways

I got it on my phone, and it has taken up more of my life than I care to admit. It’s similar to slay the spire. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys strategy games.

This little orange fuck puppet of ours is just seeing what other dictators are doing world wide and hopes to emulate. Xi wants Taiwan, Putin is getting a chunk of Ukraine, Netanyahu gets Palestine.

Our little oompa-lumpa needs Greenland to think himself an equal of these dickbags.

Lol, that show is among the stupidest things I’ve ever loved.

It’s pronounced Cool Whip.
