I used to love that dude, too. I also used to go on Reddit though. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown both.

Authoritarianism is not equal to capabilities. In fact, the Soviet space program was significantly more capable for a very long time

Looking at their space station, I think China already has overtaken NASA.

Companies get by making keyboards and power supplies all the time.

Anyone who supports a corporation is just a big dumb dummy.

Well according to the previous math, they retained 10% of their revenue and 75% of their profits. I know, math is hard.

Well I think this article and comment section is a clear indication of the power of this information when used for propaganda.

That’s because it’s being applied to Western standards. China spends a crazy amount of money on social welfare and government assistance. Minimum wage is around or less than 2000 Yuan a month around the country, yes. But, that’s completely ignoring currency exchange rates and cost of living.

Cost of living in Shanghai and Beijing are around 4,500 Yuan. Which means a couple or two roommates can live on minimum wage in the biggest cities. Compare that to minimum wage and cost of living in New York City or LA which is $1,280 a month, costing $4,300 and 1,342 a month, costing $5,576 respectively.

Tldr: how much money you make is only relevant when compared to your cost of living. It’s not hard to live in China on $300 a month.

They’re talking about whatever version of capitalism you call the West. At least that’s how it’s worded.

Aren’t most of these companies too big to merge with each other?

Just like the SpaceX engineers told musk they should do the first time.

It’s starting to sound like they should unionize

I actually don’t think I’ve used it for anything other than working through code. It wouldn’t take hours to get my code running if chatgpt weren’t such a stubborn moron. It’s like if a 6 year old had all the answers to the universe.

It probably doesn’t help that people are finally getting more educated about all the safety issues Teslas have.

They want US workers to be cheap labor without sacrificing quality. It’s impossible to do that so they’re blaming the workers for being bad instead of blaming the companies for not paying workers well enough.

That’s awesome. I am also a Communist that denies genocides. I guess I better pop on over to lemmy.ml
