If you’re incapable of utilising the massive amount of capital residing in the USA, then I assume you’re an imbecile.

The country is a tax haven. Vast amount of opportunities.

Do I like my country more? Of course I do, but god damn I’m getting sick and tired of all these Americans thinking their country is bad.

You’re with 230 million adults in a country the size of Europe. Of course it’s gonna be spread out.

Median net wealth in the EU is lower than in USA (77k Vs 112k USD). PPP it’s about the same.

Europe’s for people who prefer stability. USA is for people that prefer volatile growth and crashes.

Good luck with that

Then sadly you’ll be removed from the private property because the people living there are more than capable to snap your neck with brute force. 🤗

Think the market value is about 700k euros. Let’s go to notary

You really need a safe space in order to think the vast majority of the English speakers don’t hate tankies

Communism only seems to work when you just re-name capitalism with the word communism, as china did after Mao’s era was done with 🙈

Ouchie

Mao Zedong’s leadership significantly impacted China’s economy through several major initiatives and policies. Here are some key points:

1. Great Leap Forward (1958-1962): This was a radical economic and social campaign aimed at rapidly transforming China from an agrarian society into an industrialized one. The initiative involved the collectivization of agriculture and the establishment of people’s communes. However, it resulted in a catastrophic failure, leading to widespread famine and an estimated 15 to 55 million deaths due to starvation, execution, torture, forced labor, and suicide.

2. Economic Mismanagement: The Great Leap Forward was characterized by unrealistic targets and poor planning. The focus on increasing steel production through backyard furnaces and other inefficient methods diverted resources away from agriculture, exacerbating the famine.

3. Cultural Revolution (1966-1976): This period was marked by political instability and economic chaos. The Cultural Revolution aimed to preserve Chinese Communism by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society and to re-impose Maoist thought as the dominant ideology within the Party. The revolution however resulted in significant economic disruption and a decline in the capacity of the government to deliver goods and services.

4. Legacy and Transition: After Mao’s death in 1976, China began to transition away from his policies. The post-Mao era saw the introduction of economic reforms and a shift towards a more market-oriented economy, which led to rapid economic growth and development.

Overall, Mao’s policies had a profound and often detrimental impact on China’s economy, leading to significant setbacks and human suffering. The post-Mao reforms were crucial in reversing these effects and setting China on a path of economic growth.

Yeah, well, then polarisation will be the result. When every area censors opposition

In my case it would be the EU.

Lemmy shows that we can’t just give randoms the ability to be authoritarians. We need a government that forces these people to not censor.

Stoxx 600 so hot right now 🥵

Invest in gold when times are stable, only enough to winter through times of uncertainty.

Now is the time to sell gold.

I bought stocks in times of uncertainty and am now 6% total portfolio in profit after 1 month.

People are highly biased. Le chat mistral gives me the whole story.

If I ask a marxist and a libertarian the same question, I get two completely different answers.

I cannot trust people, such a small selection of data.

I use LLM to give me a summary of all of the data and all of the opinions.

Why do I trust a LLM more than humans? Because the LLM answers me instantly what I want to know. The human changes the subject and then after 10 interactions, they just ghost you.

I’ll buy their solar panels, just make sure it doesn’t depend on sun. We don’t have sun in Belgium

Whoever has EU on their side forms the coalition. Simple as that.

Of course I am. Look at my profile picture

Yeah, spain is a bit behind I suppose. So is Poland.

My neighbouring countries are France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and across the water we have the UK.

We happen to be the economic powerhouses of the EU too. So when we push for secularism, it has a bit more impact.
