  • Within real communist communities? No. Within revisionist communities absolutely.

    Communists haven’t supported China since the death of Mao whenever Deng Xiaopeng and his ilk took power. You can read plenty of official statements by Peruvian, Indian, and Filipino communists parties (that have actually attempted/are attempting revolution) who denounce China as a revisionist social imperialist power in exactly the same way that China denounced the USSR following the revisionists rise to power.





  • A lot of these cars are starting to get massive touch screens too. I’m looking at buying a Prius and several of the trims have a 12 inch touch screen. Why would I ever need that as a driver? Why would I ever possibly want that? Pedestrian and cyclist deaths keep skyrocketing and we continue to out these massive screens in cars that in many cases can’t be turned off. Lawmakers really need to make auto manufacturers responsible for the part they are playing in enabling distracted driving.


  • Whenever I was attempting to house shop in my city I couldn’t find anything that was livable for less than $400k. I grew up very poor so I’m not being hyperbolic whenever I say “livable”. I was not looking for anything glamorous. There were houses that should have been condemned going for $350k. This was in a “medium” cost of living area. I couldn’t even imagine what it would cost to buy in a high cost of living area.
