Except you know, no homelessness, by Stalin's time no starvation, free healthcare, guaranteed days off, guaranteed vacation time, wages significantly higher than the majority of the population has ever seen, oh and free education.

Yeah, you couldn't be a Nazi or other enemy of the state, how oppressive.

They're not independent, no country in earth recognizes them as such. China calls it an autonomous region like Tibet or Hong Kong, they're still fully subject to the mainlands laws, but they decide how to tax and what to do with taxes.

There is an independence party in their local Congress, but that's about it. If they use the weapons the US gifted China to declare independence, then yes China will 'invade,' the same way the FBI invaded sovereign citizen's homes in the US.

Lower cost of entry, and way cheaper than cigarettes. They're also sold every where cigarettes are sold, where as ejuice/sustainable variations tend to be limited to vape/smoke shops. Addiction tends to go with the easiest way to handle said addiction, and if you need something from the corner store or gas station, it's easier to just add a disposable to your purchase than going to a whole different shop.

... Which means it's not a Chinese company, bytedance is. It's like saying Activision-Blizzard is a Chinese company because a large part of their shareholders are Chinese companies.

That's now how business ownership works. Blindly repeating Trumps talking points makes you just look like a racist.

Why would China invade Taipei if Taipei doesn't launch an independence campaign?

Incorrect, anyone that wants infinite growth is too stupid to breathe, much less be a part of a successful business.

It would still increase, just not as much... And no, it wouldn't make sub 2c possible. we have a lot of methane currently suspended from the carbon cycle that is releasing more and more each year at current temperatures. On top of this the wildfires frequent at current temps release more carbon than the natural world sequesters each year.

This is without addressing anything with the ocean.
