Most are young men without college degrees who make less than $1 per delivery.

Make that per hour. The average delivery here is just about 20-30 RMB ($3.5 or so), they absolutely don't get 33% commission. And tips don't exist in China.

That's a very good point, thanks for adding some context.

Teacher?

Nah, I wouldn't survive 6 months in that job. Project manager for an engineering company.

Oh my gosh, the youth suicide rate doubled in the US while it quadrupled in China during the same time.period? That's shocking.

Imagine not understanding the concept of per capita. 😂

[–] Varyk 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No worries. Whenever you learn what that phrase actually means, you can explain to me how you didn't learn that up until this point.

Whenever you learn what per capita means you'll understand that US has HIGHER suicide rate than China even after it went up 4x in China. But of course understanding basic math is not something anybody reading your comments should expect from you. Thank you for taking your valuable time from sniffing glue to write that comment though.

Oh cool, so you're making this argument against a claim that nobody has made so far?

Very triumphant.

If arguing against something that nobody has said is how you "win," I think everybody can finally understand where you're coming from.

No, I'm pointing out just how low quality the claim you made is.

[–] Varyk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're doing a very poor job of it.

Making up arguments that nobody said so that you can have a valid point against them? It's kind of desperate.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's adorable that you think you've made an argument. Baby's first debate.

[–] Varyk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There you go hitting on me again with this adorable stuff.

And nobody said you were a baby, you just might feel that way because you make simple, easily refutable propagandized posts and comments.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Weird how you haven't manged to actually refute anything I said given my posts are so easily refutable. All you've done is sealion into them to make personal attacks and clown around as you do.

Why are you bragging about who has the least amount of suicides? that's pretty messed up
