The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they've done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.

Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us's packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.

Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don't take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.

'corporate'.

As we saw in russia and ukraine, that doesn't really matter to these people. They'll slap an old stock gun on you and shove you out a van with their guns pointed at you, and just beat you if you complain or try to not be drafted.

Nearly every company in the world that has an international presence uses chinese parts somewhere. And no, you racist count, made in china is not a word for cheap shit, it's a word for made in a factory. You can't avoid chinese products at this stage of capitalism. Your made in japan microwave? It was assembled in japan. It was made in china hence why you can get the brand less version for half price on aliexpress.

Country labeling is a joke, wherever the final assembly takes place is where the label gets put on, specially because racists like you are too stupid to tell the difference and it sincerely hasn't mattered since before most people were born.

By producing everything you use in life?

Don't buy cheap shit you won't get cheaply made shit.

No, you're making things up entirely based on imaginary ideas. A studio for just a week's worth of work a minimum wage? Even in the early 2000s that was practically a myth. No american I have ever known has paid less than half their wages for rent; including myself when I still lived in that shit hole.

Maybe the rich lived differently, and from your naive idealism it's clear you did, but christ I would have loved to not pay nearly all my income for housing.

It really isn't. Maybe 40 years ago. There's a reason we're in a cost of living crisis and the homelessness rate has soared in the last five years faster than any other point in us history. Its not a lack of jobs.

Hell working homeless is at its highest point in human history.

Congrats on living in a ridiculously low cost of living country that's not the us, the west, or even most parts of china at this point.

Their profession obligated them to do something dangerous in exchange for money and financial security; this person does not receive that in exchange. Changing jobs is also not something you do lightly when you have kids, unless you're already well off enough to retire or will be homeless anyway.

Her family disapproves of her choice, that alone explains the situation as this adult acting as a petulant child that ran away. Her family wanted her in their lives, she didn't want them in her life. That is the situation being reported on in this and other articles.

There is no reasonable moral dilemma. For example, why the fuck didn't she go off to Niger? Why not volunteer for myanmar's resistance? Maybe be a un peace keeper in haiti? Shit you think ukraine is bad, why didn't she volunteer for palestine and join any of the hundreds of resistance groups?

There are hundreds of wars and conflicts going on right now. Is she going to go full mercenary and volunteer to be superwoman and intervene in all of them? Or did she pick a relatively safe conflict that would give her the most attention with the least amount of danger that would net her an easy path to leaving her family forever?

No, you do. The lowest level of legal living is almost infinitely more expensive as a proportion of work hours now than ever before in history. If you're in the us, a weekly rate motel is likely your cheapest option, and that's still going to cost more than the federal minimum wage per month assuming full time work. In even industrial age cities a room at an inn cost about half a days wage for hard labor; and for the medieval ages land rent was basically a joke in comparison.

Modern public works have basically nothing in common with medieval commons, including use. Loitering being a crime is proof of that alone, but you also can't just plop down a house or tent in a public park legally.

To your second point community gardens are almost never empty whenever they're created.
