      I was thinking about the crazy financial products that crashed the real estate market in 2007/8. I don’t think a communist would’ve come up with that shit. I kinda know this because I was a communist then (as I am now) and I could plainly see that it was bad news.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if the people who came up with it also knew it would be bad news, but also that it would be good for them individually.

        Like the way those securities worked, nobody was gonna be caught out individually. The only way they go wrong is if the market takes a bad turn and then you’d have a horrible domino effect that takes it from bad to worse, but at that point your golden parachute activates and everyone gets bailouts. Kind of brilliant, in a fucked up way.

    If only China still had landlords forcing people to sell their children into slavery and women being unable to walk more than 50 metres because their feet are bound. Imagine how advanced a country they could be then. sadness

    Humans are only curious to make money didn’t you know?

    Back in the old old days god would give you modern banknotes to be curious about what happen when you put seeds in dirt.

    China already leads in tech. Even in the places where the US has held onto their advantage the longest, like military R&D, China is overtaking us, but on an “overall” level we got lapped a while back.
