I wish we made decisions based on happiness levels rather than GDP.
These countries are obviously doing something right and the rest of the world should take notes from them: https://worldhappiness.report/news/happiest-countries-prove-resilient-despite-overlapping-crises/
I can't think of any successful communist countries. They've all quickly devolved into totalitarian regimes, or else they've had to adopt a capitalist economy because a communist economy just didn't work.
To continue from the title:
the Chinese government said on Wednesday, following new legal guidelines that mandate execution in extreme cases for "diehard" separatists.
...
Some foreign companies are considering moving Taiwanese employees out of China, as a result, sources have previously told Reuters.
Why does almost every post in Technology have some comment trying to bring up the "capitalism bad" topic in some way?
Are you trying to say that Communism would have done a better job?
We've already seen how that has played out a few times already.
Is this the same guy that's recorded on those robocalls who's always asking for donations?
A balance between capitalism and socialism is what most countries are already using and has worked for a long time.
Communism is the one that only works in theory and anywhere it has been tried has quickly led to dictatorships or else it has fallen apart.
Edit: what most countries are using (not every country)
Communism wouldn't fix much, and it would only be a temporary fix. It doesn't work well at a larger scale which is why every country that has tried it has either fallen apart or turned into a dictatorship.
We're better off finding the proper balance between capitalism and socialism until someone comes up with a better system that actually works.
My plan is to vote in candidates at all levels that are endorsed by The Forward Party.
We need to overhaul our voting system so that we're not trapped in this downward spiral of a 2 party system that we're currently in. Ranked Choice voting, Star voting, Approval voting... they all have pros and cons but any one of them is better than the current system that we have.
The way we get better options for Presidential candidates is to have a voting system that gives other parties a chance.
I don't care if I have to vote for a particular Republican, Democrat, or some third party individual for this to be accomplished. Following the trend of "vote out all Republicans/Democrats" is how we got here in the first place.
From the article:
The cause of his death was not immediately clear.
The confusion part:
State media maintained that rescue efforts were ongoing, but conflicting reports emerged regarding the status of the passengers. Some sources claimed contact had been established with one passenger and a crew member, while others denied this.
The incident also raised questions about the cause of the crash. While initial reports blamed bad weather, the possibility of technical malfunction or even foul play could not be ruled out. The Iranian government remained tight-lipped, further adding to the confusion.
Latinos who vote wouldn't be getting deported...
