In Reply to: Yeah, and we could go back to coal power plants. Nt posted by srdavis2000 on January 13, 2022 at 09:52:54:
Since the stuff we buy is made in China, in factories powered by coal (when they can get power at all), we're essentially using coal power right now.
But it's more than the global warming bullshit. We incarcerate a way higher percentage of our population than China does. The FBI can search your house without a warrant. The NSA records every electronic communication 24/7.
If you travel with cash, cops can and will take it away from you. It's legal for police officers to pull you over on a pretext just to have a look at what you're doing. Your 4th Amendment protections don't apply.
We even have a de facto one party system. "Democrat" and "Republican" are just brand names, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same billionaire donors. One every important issue, the parties are in lockstep.
I'm 100% certain that China could secretly take over the entire Federal government and none of us would ever notice the difference.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
