The Gen Z stare is a rational response to the risk that anyone can pull out their phone and start recording.

I’m describing a step, you’re describing a walk.

There seems to be this weird Schrodinger’s Cat situation where is both the “this isn’t Communism yet” combined with “no, we are creating this on Communist principles”.

And the talking point for the discussion is about China’s form of “Communism” should be replicated across different countries. My statement that China’s economy currently fits a state capitalist model is still valid because China hasn’t full communist like how the Soviet Union never hit full communist. It is a step on the path.

I feel like the argument right now is that I’m using the word capitalism to describe the current step on the path.

That’s a lot of words to reiterate what I said. If China is in a transition state, then it isn’t full communism. Also, China has decentralized some decision making from its planned economy, the “third way” which I reference.

I feel like the market could have waited because it was standard government procedure to use reserves until the crisis is over. The problem now is that the crisis will likely last longer than the reserves.

I won’t be surprised if governments fall due to the economic impacts this will cause.

China’s recent development doesn’t really hinge on Marxist-Leninist models. It went heavy into state capitalism to produce a massive improvement in the economy. I feel like China’s main innovation was to create an investment model that was company agnostic; private companies competed to operate state owned factories rather than the state owning the companies. Corporate governance is more “third way” with loose control over semi-private entities.

Flight Club was one of several cubicle movies released that year which was tapping into the underlying rage in what was otherwise an extremely peaceful time in history. It was strange that there was this underlying aggression in a lot of media which hadn’t been there in previous “good times”.

It isn’t sweet foods, but using sugar substitutes. You said you’re drinking diet soda, which uses sugar substitutes.

Meetings where all the managers say their own thing about cheering on the company.

It isn’t the worst thing for you, but it can be a problem for some people.

The carbonated water isn’t great. It can lead to stomach and teeth issues.

Also, your mind has likely broken the link between eating sweet foods and feeling full, so expect losing weight to be a possible problem in the future.

Feel free to correct me, but you’re the one who asked the question. Just insulting isn’t a good rhetorical device.

If nothing else works, other big countries. However, it is generally a high bar to get two big countries to go to war with each other.

Because getting small countries to stop helps reduce war deaths.

Yeah. It does show where the political motivations are currently in the war and why it isn’t going to be over any time soon. There is no politically acceptable end to the war for either side, so the war of attrition continues.

Incompetence isn’t treason.

It’s not a high bar to clear

This feels like someone who is having a crisis as the job they thought they would be doing isn’t the job they are actually doing. There is an internal assumed competence and reality doesn’t match that at all.

It depends on the bank. All my banks want everything to be digital and pushes everything to be handled online. This includes signing.

I’d question what bank you have.

I don’t know, in part because I don’t know what your job is. You seem to be processing a lot of emotions based on not being a good personality fit with the coworkers of your job, but I don’t know what your actually doing outside of some form of skilled labor.
