I have been seeing a lot of life-hacks about how pensioners move to south east Asia with their cash because the low cost of living and also to bulk buy properties and live on passive income.

You are going to have that problem with countries with questionable economic sovereignty (look at the Philippines in particular) instead of becoming a state with possibilities to do local development, you have oversea entities coming there to suck out the resources, labour, wealth and talent out of them and leave the place to die

IIRC Argentina has been indebted for decades and the case doesn't seem to improve. So it is just natural that there are actual Ancaps trying to push for abandoning the country's currency for the USD (according to Geopolitical Economy Report and that interview with Ha Joon-Chang).

I guess the optics the Ancaps are trying to sell to the population is that free market and a better integration with the US's economy apparatus are going to help with investment and jumpstart the economy, but we all know the real reason is to help with capital fly and it's just a way to the wealthy interest group to prepare for a rug pull.

Yes but that's ok there will be courageous journalists who will find out it is real (after years of suppression by the government) and Ken burns can make a documentary about the event with an intro narration about how it was done ''by people with good intentions''

China's foreign policy was shit since the sino-soviet split and blaming on Deng for shit foreign policy is kind of silly consider that a lot of it started in Mao's time

Lol this article is a nothing burger. It is mostly an article on AdF than the whatever ''official invitation''(which is probably some private firm in China but apparently every firms in China are controlled by the government) that China sent

This is like my dad said about how Xi is sending youth into the countryside to farm like in Mao's Cultural Revolution (he was talking about how there are incentive for the government to send educated people to do town development)

Better die in a field than suffer in a cubicle

If self check is too hard to use, just take the items for free

I got into a situation where a cashier came to debug an issue and she wasn't able to.

It just ended up with her letting me go with the item for free because ''she isn't paid enough to fix this shit''

There is a clean cut in the generations before and after the democratization of Taiwan

DPP's founder Lee Teng Hui, also the forefather of democracy in Taiwan has a brother who served in the imperial army. This island is really a leftover trash from 2 loser nations
