The government is totally not going to abuse this
Fair enough, that’s not a power station tough. IMO stone weathering is a superior carbon capture process
I mean, a biomass power station should have no net emission, that’s the whole point
Byzantium from Judith Herrin
Been to Guangdong, Beijing and Wuhan for work as early as this February. Very mixed experience for me. Rent is extremely variable depending where you are, can be as low as 100 $ a month for a rather shitty place up to several tens of thousand for places in the city of various quality (including abysmal).
Food is REALLY cheap, you could eat at a restaurant 3 meals a day and spend less than 10 buck in total, even higher end restaurants are much cheaper, for other stuff like clothes it varies, they are cheaper in general but not even remotely like the food.
There are definitely homeless people even children, it’s just that many Chinese cities are organized in sort of like “areas” so if you don’t look in the right places you won’t see them. Based on my experience I can sort of make up 3 or 4 types of areas (this is China so each area can be the size of a city itself):
Corpo Block. A large area sold out to corporations or other large institutions (banks, embassies etc.). Squicky clean, glass skyscrapers and trees, pretty much only offices and no one lives there, beautiful but also soulless and boring
Generic Block. Most of chinese city areas look like this. Ugly buildings, very clean but kinda of uncanny, some green here and there, lots of people, smog. Still better than American suburbs for sure.
The Slums. Trash, some homeless people, crappy place overall. Looks like someone fed Blame! pages to stable diffusion and had them colorized.
“Trad Block”. Beautiful, clean, some traditional oriental urban aesthetics incorporated with modern buildings. Legitimately wouldn’t mind living there, unfortunately the most rare type
Traina are fast, punctual and clean, but overall the experience is something out of Brazil (the movie). Taking the train is more complicated than flying. Firstly, as a foreigner you can’t buy the ticket like a normal humanoid, you need to go to a special office with documents and shit (this is true for lots of things, foreigners are basically second class citizens, tourists or not). Then they’ll check you when you enter the station, they’ll check you again when the train arrives, and the one more time before boarding the train, finally they’ll check you when you leave the station, also, occasionally they’ll complain for BS like carrying a shaving foam and other TSA-like BS
Where are you? I’ve been to China recently and it doesn’t reflect my experience at all
WTF?
You can use taxes to socialize necessities all you like, as long as they control prices they will simply raise them and decrease purchasing power respectively, as long as some corpo has a monopoly on a product/service they maintain control of that product, taxes cannot take away anything from them
You are completely ignoring my point, taxing those things won’t diminish earnings for the top brass one bit if they can just raise prices as a response. How does increasing taxes on profits promotes reinvestment??
Why would taxes on stuffs like stock payout have a different effect than income taxes? They’ll just increase price even more to make up for the difference or shift more payout to a different type of rewards like bonuses or share handouts.
Taxing them further will have the same effect as forcing them to raise wages, they’ll just shift their cost on the final product
This comment just confirms what I said. The concept of “geological evolution” is just an expression to describe changes that take place within the system, it has nothing to do with what happens in biological evolution
Dude doesn’t understand evolution nor civilization

I said nothing about race
Actually there was already a known proof of PT that was based on trigonometry, the proof of the students is also unlikely to be accepted as it relies on calculus and not pure trigonometry.
