Passionate about drug abuse & verbal abuse (i.e. British). Humble shit stacker. Dyxlessic. Also into humor. I touch on many different and varied topics. I'm not here to be a bitcoin fanboi. I'm here for the freedom and the opportunity to build something better. Shop local. Act local. Think global. "All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions." -- George Bernard Shaw A truly open mind must be necessity be available to evaluate all propositions, also the unpalatable and heretical. - Me

Keep in mind two things:

1) the scale is not an absolute, but the percentage comparison to the GDP size of the US.

2) the break during covid shows that China is facing internal turmoil, possibly even internal pandemic problems or the aftershock from it. Judging from the carnage in Hong Kong when "Omicron" broke through there, this may very well be the case.

I wouldn't call it fully state controlled. The companies have a large degree of autonomy... Until they fuck up, of course, at which point people start to disappear.

Of course. Your nervous system runs on glucose and when that goes down....

Or maybe it's just New Year's and Teslaman got embarrassed by the backlash against his hypocrisy...
