If you're talking about the US, they've been in a recession since covid-19. Doesn't seem to have caused any new problems, which does surprise me.
You're right, though, the fact that the US economy is improving and growing all forms of infrastructure despite being in two recessions in a bit over a decade is beautiful in a way, I guess.
Yup, that's exactly what's happening. US economy is improving and growing, nothing to worry about at all. Best of luck to you.
I do appreciate the concession, thank you.
And I agreev with you, it is pretty great that us economy and their infrastructure is growing. I don't know how they're going to deal with the kids shooting kids thing, But apparently US recessions only affect their toilet paper supply for a couple months.
meanwhile in the real world https://infrastructurereportcard.org/
Yes, that's the entire point of the green new deal.
Interesting that even with such bad infrastructure, Taiwan prefers to partner with the US rather than the human-rights abusing country you champion.
Ah yes, how's that green new deal going there. Last I checked nothing of substance has come out of it.
Meanwhile, it's pretty hilarious that you're surprised that US groomed politicians partner with US. Just imagining the freak out in US if China started doing this sort of thing in say Hawaii. Yet, despite all that, DPP is polling at all time low and it's very likely that KMT will be back in power next year at which point talks of peaceful repatriation will restart. Then you'll really have something to seethe and cope about.
And the only human rights abusing country here is the US. The country that keeps migrant children in cages on the border, has the highest incarceration rate per capita in the world, operates a torture camp on Cuban soil that it annexed, steals resources from occupied land in Syria, and that massacred over 6 million people around the world with its war on terror.
Is this that "seething and coping" you're always talking about?
Yeah, I'm really coping with the fact that US infrastructure is literally falling apart. It really kills me inside.
