Yandex isn't ususlly gonna have better results. The overwhelming majority of English language stuff is written from a ruling class perspective. That's not gonna change because you use a non-western search engine, although the ranking algorithm might be less sus. But Yandex is definitely way less useful for most Wnglish language stuff. I do try to use it sometimes.

This seems so worthless. China keeps making generic statements that are still following the "two state solution in an unspecified time frame with unspecified means" approach. Israel is committing genocide and they're like "we hope for a peaceful resolution to this conflict". Completely meaningless. Threaten Israel if you care even a single bit about Palestinians. Do something that would actually make Israel reconsider. Instead it's nothing.

The ads have the same prominence as the US flag (which is basically a corporate logo from way back anyways).

It's not really "spending a fortune" if it's just money exchanging hands between capitalists and marketing people and capitalists. There's almost no physical materials or labor going into this stuff as far as I can guess.

Kinda awesome given that he lives in China and doesn't like the US. But yeah, terrible name. Worse than "America" even. Practically a joke name.

Nobody works because of "protestant work ethic", they work because they want or need more money. Considering the guy lives in his car, seems like he probably needs more money.

There are so many people in need of a place to park that most are turned away. “We can only serve 10 to 20 percent of the people who call us,” said the executive director, Terrell Curtis.

A country full of parking lots and there isn't even space for homeless people to park their cars overnight. And media outlets and governments claim that homeless people "refuse assistance" and "don't want to be helped".

It's not "protestant ethic", he's not rich or something.
