I worked in a community mental health hospital as a therapist in the run up to Trump one and and there was a small but vocal minority of pro Trump therapists
It was really strange. Our hospital was contingent on Medicaid for like 80% of the budget. Talking with them more revealed a pretty sharp disdain for the clients we had and poor people in general. This was extra weird bc we generally made 20-30k there despite having masters degrees and phds
Right wing violence (which includes neo Nazis, fundamentalist Christians bombing abortion clinics, etc) and fundamentalist Islam attacks make up the overwhelming majority of political violence in the USA but left wing violence exists. And of that left wing violence the majority is what they call “ecoterrorism”
It’s not obscenely common (tbf no political violence is “extremely common” in America, statistically still very unlikely) but it does happen. It’s just far less publicized because “some people bombed an oil transport line/hummer dealership at night/etc” is not nearly as clickbaity as “weird scumbag with a manifesto about great replacement theory posted to 8chan shot 35 people”
Adding green energy at 8x the rate of the USA with a total of 3.89 terawatts, which is 3x larger than the entire USA energy grid, and accounting over 30% of the worlds spending towards green energy while the USA has less than 25% of the grid as green energy
Essentially ending homelessness
A notably lower prison population than the USA despite like 6x the population
A minimum wage set by provinces who are heavily encouraged to give increases every few years tied to inflation and cost of living
Actually working to shift a fee for service healthcare system to a socialized model with significant progress occurring
No airstrikes, bombings of another country, or declared wars since 1979. Even in terms of proxy wars post 1979 has been far more about economic support and diplomacy than shipping weapons
Etc etc but yes Xi and Trump are equivalent because they have a social credit score and government surveillance. That’s definitely not like the America, who has just normal credit scores, palantir, and a large chunk of your tax money funding proxy wars (and now actual war) instead of maintaining critical infrastructure or any quality of life improvements for its people.
Depends on when they emerge. Now? Maybe not a great plan, or maybe it is. 2010 or whenever it kicked off? Absolutely. 1750? What’s a bit and how can it help with my upcoming Industrial Revolution
Until voltage sags below 4.7 and stuff starts acting weird or sags below 4.4 and just stops working ig
Voltage drop is a thing. That’s why powered hubs exist
When I got good enough at japanese to read manga I realized that the reason every manga isn’t fan translated is not because jp>en translators are uncommon, it’s because typesetting is a goddamn nightmare that no one in their right mind wants to do
It’s (part of) why all the turds that go “ai translation will finally get rid of woke translators” are stupid. Even if ai translation of Japanese wasn’t mediocre it’s nowhere near being able to typeset
