Oh no, you’ve never read theory or anything even marginally related to economics from anything but a corporatist perspective.

I’m so sorry.

Anyway this discussion is above you. China is a socialist state. They are a dictatorship of the proletariat, not of capital. Their economy is centrally planned. Their economy is 60% publicly owned. The part of the economy that is a private market has nothing to do with anything essential to life. No part of Marx nor Lenin’s work precludes a market economy. Not one single part.

Read your theory.

NATO has nothing to do with brics. Given you have no idea how Chinas economy works I guess I shouldn’t have expected you to know the difference between economic and military pacts.

Over half the world’s GDP and population are a part of brics btw.

The nordics have less than 40% of their economy in the private sector? Got literally any sources for that little one?

What basic macroeconomics? The fact China’s economy is insulated from capital and isn’t reliant on imports anymore?

China isn’t a capitalist nation in anyway. They have a private market, which cannot effect the rest of the economy.

Correct, 5% of GDP, specifically from the private sector, would not effect China. It’d make some investors mad, but no one would lose their home, no one would starve, hell they wouldn’t even be out of work unless they refused public sector jobs - of which there are nearly twice as many as private sector jobs.

The country with a 17 trillion usd GDP? Yeah the half trillion in exports isn’t that important.

Actually they don’t. Their own middle class is outspending the US, and brics ensures the US isnt ever the primary consumer market ever again.

Not really, they’re the one country besides Israel that the US will never invade or go to war with, since it would permanently end the US economy.

No, the tense is different. Reread and try again.

Maybe ask yourself why I included year between purchase statistics.

That explains so much about German men.

They spent money on more than the essentials. Is what you meant. People on average go seven years between tv purchases and 3 years between phone purchases.

KFC, you need to be poor at one point in your life.

Both iPhones and TVs are cheaper than a months worth of groceries.

Die.

Yes, the wall street journal is Russian propaganda. So are news sources in general. Best not read them.

To your first point, yes. Some idiot twenty years ago said to a bunch of guidance counselors that software engineering would be a sure way to get money, so there’s way too many in the US; on top of this companies don’t want to pay even close to a living wage so they import H1Bs. Competition is ridiculous.

To your second point and exacerbating the first… Every company, practically, uses AI screening software, and before that just plain old applicant screening software. Your resume won’t get seen by a human unless you’re lucky enough to get through the layers of screening, so it’s an arms race to guess what they’re screening for and add that to your resume while not exaggerating too much so as to make the human after the screening process to not throw away your resume.

And at the end of this; especially in software but more and more in less specialized, less skilled positions, you have to still do 3+ interviews.
