given the rule of law, the need to protect property and defend workers’ rights

He’s making it sound like there are roving bands of lawless of engineers that are press ganging people into building railways in China. Very cool and punk, but not very factual.

My bones never get enough sun and are always pearly white. I can finally change that.

Bong Joon-ho said it best. We live in one country called capitalism.

Nah you’re good. CPUSA members get a pass.

Actually no. I’ve had the thought to make this post for weeks but I was too lazy to actually do it until now.

Also, people are still waiting on me to bring over Chinese image macros for like 5 months but I swear I’ll do it next week.

Very good passage and it’s relevant in the modern world again. Arguably even more so than it was during Marx’s time in some respects.

Essentially the goal is this: to use a giant electromagnetic launch track to accelerate a hypersonic aircraft to Mach 1.6. The aircraft would then separate from the track, ignite its engine and enter near space at seven times the speed of sound.

“The government is advised to stand at the forefront in discussing subsidy-related issues with its U.S. counterparts, so local chipmakers and battery firms’ uncertainties can be alleviated,

Give more money please lol. These global companies just keep a train of endless grift going.

Byung Chul Han proven right once again. Achievement society of the west is a self-made hell.

Achievement-subjects cannot stop as it is their own volition driving them in a cycle of auto-exploitation.

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.
