Never forget what their name’s acronym really stands for…

Thank you, I appreciate it. I do try where I can. Especially locally, currently working to get rid of a super corrupt mega libertarian republican by primarying him with a more rational candidate that can actually be talked to.

Oh I already have. I ain’t rich but I still gave him $30.
Gonna take a lot to overcome the corporate donors of his opponent who have 10x the cash already.

Ahh oops. I didn’t check instances just saw your display name. Yeah bug beehaw about it, it’s up to them to update because they are way behind the times.

Beehaw is still on an older Lemmy version (0.18.4) that sometimes has issues federating to newer instances running 0.19.2 or .3. Talk to your admins. It’s been out for months high time to update.

Evergrande was not a triggering event, it was an inevitable consequence. The CCP’s fiscal policy has driven “growth at all costs” for over 40 years now and they are running out of free runway. Their “private” sector (a bit of a misnomer considering how government-driven basically every company is over there) acquiesced to these government demands for growth, especially in real estate, long after traditional market fundamentals were saying to slow down, and now those “private” companies are saddled with investments without any way to make money off them post-pandemic. And their markets have realized that before the party did.

The party is only just now waking up to the fact that they can’t keep hitting GDP growth targets by pumping stimulus into their businesses and that their economy needs to begin maturing into a more stable form. We will not see a real “collapse” like some doomsday fans love to parrot, but there is a very large correction about to happen to their economic projections, in both GDP and demographics.

And Winter. Don’t forget the winter.

Georgia? Not far enough man. He’s about to “accidentally” fall from a 4th story window in a few weeks.

215 identifiable graves so far. They were given serial numbers, the highest of which is 672…

Taking bets on the racial distribution. Anyone have puts on 85% or greater black/POC victims?

This should be the kind of thing that results in a nationwide scandal and life jail sentences for the entire department. This is 672 individual citizens of the country who were slaughtered without cause. That’s no oops, that’s an extermination program.

Well, Lukashenko just copy cats whatever daddy Putin does, so that accusation certainly tracks to be true…

That’s an occupational risk when working for a corrupt one-party state.

Don’t be bringing shit’s name into this. At least shit is actually useful for things like fertilizing crops.

Nah. If they’re legitimately wealthy they don’t need experience, they just get recommended to a job and hired on the spot.

No this is pure exploitation of labor through and through.

Leather dries out over time when left to sit and becomes brittle. It must be treated with some thing like a leather oil rub or “saddle butter”. Fake leather is similar.

When you wear them regularly from new before they dry out, the sweat and oil from your skin goes a long ways towards keeping the leather pliable.

Artificial fabrics obviously don’t have this problem, unless exposed to sunlight.

looks like cleverly isn’t very clever with his jokes
