Its not even hyperbolic saying that they love shooting kids for fun, Abby Martin has been showing videos of IDF soldiers filming themselves shooting kids since at least a decade now, and they’ve done it before social media was a thing too.

Keyword: Palantir.

The main thing is that OP is not chinese, is american and is worried about Chinese surveillance and not american one.

The US darling right now that is receiving all the “security and defence” contracts is a company named Palantir, a word appropiated from Tolkien’s novels that literally means “those that watch”. 😂😂😂😂😂 And you are here worrying about China.

There is no precedent of China meddling on someone elses business, let alone a random civilian, so not only it is crazy to assume so it’s also inherently racist. The US does have precedent of it for what it’s worth yet you’re not distrustful of them. You’re a victim of state sponsored propaganda.

In the west you get a raise!

I can’t think of one that gets better lol

Why is France so high?

Your definition literally does not matter, zionism is an actually existing force.

You can try to do mental acrobatics all you want but actually existing zionism is mutually exclusive with anti-genocide and all of that you mentioned.

i did not know about your website, it’s awesome!!! i’ve been looking for these epubs for a long time.

yea and the enshittification of stuff is also a byproduct of chasing that compound interest, trying to satisfy that exponential growth is destroying the world.

Without interest, why would anyone lend a random stranger some money? Interest is basically the only things that props up an unsecured loan.

believe it or not, it’s very common.

I mean that people instantly know it’s a scam nowadays.

Is it? I think it got normalized as a scam.

correction, you do an ungodly amount of paperwork prior to getting denied.

Ive always thought it was due tax related reasons. In México, most shops have it set up so the price + IVA (our consumer tax) gives you a rounded number.

And if you die you lose everything you paid for and your family gets none. Sounds great!

In México they’re called PPR (PLAN PERSONAL DE RETIRO, i.e. Personal retirement plan), they’re offered by private finance companies often the same ones that sell insurance. In a nutshell, you only get a fraction of what you invested and only if you complete the entirety of the retirement plan, if for whatever reason you are unable to continue paying it you can lose the entirety of your “savings” and your family can’t even retrieve it if something were to happen.

You’re straight up better off by going to a bank and setting up an automatic fund even with their lowest interest rate fund or better yet automatic bond investing, in either case you do even less work than having a private retirement plan. This has all the added benefit of being able to use your savings in case of an emergency and even inheriting to your family.

Same for healthcare, just set up an investment account and have it automatically deduct X amount from your salary, or whatever you would pay for a private insurance, and same as before you will always have the option to inherit to your family in case something happened to you.

And even on the off chance they actually pay for whatever you need, you need to go through an ungodly amount of bureaucracy and most certainly pay a deductible as if you are not already paying enough for the insurance!
