And save the forests, restore the salmon population, and allow proper watershed restoration.

Hydro is the worst renewable; nuclear is infinitely better.

Oh no, you’ve never read theory or anything even marginally related to economics from anything but a corporatist perspective.

I’m so sorry.

Anyway this discussion is above you. China is a socialist state. They are a dictatorship of the proletariat, not of capital. Their economy is centrally planned. Their economy is 60% publicly owned. The part of the economy that is a private market has nothing to do with anything essential to life. No part of Marx nor Lenin’s work precludes a market economy. Not one single part.

Read your theory.

NATO has nothing to do with brics. Given you have no idea how Chinas economy works I guess I shouldn’t have expected you to know the difference between economic and military pacts.

Over half the world’s GDP and population are a part of brics btw.

The nordics have less than 40% of their economy in the private sector? Got literally any sources for that little one?

What basic macroeconomics? The fact China’s economy is insulated from capital and isn’t reliant on imports anymore?

China isn’t a capitalist nation in anyway. They have a private market, which cannot effect the rest of the economy.

Correct, 5% of GDP, specifically from the private sector, would not effect China. It’d make some investors mad, but no one would lose their home, no one would starve, hell they wouldn’t even be out of work unless they refused public sector jobs - of which there are nearly twice as many as private sector jobs.

The country with a 17 trillion usd GDP? Yeah the half trillion in exports isn’t that important.

Actually they don’t. Their own middle class is outspending the US, and brics ensures the US isnt ever the primary consumer market ever again.

Not really, they’re the one country besides Israel that the US will never invade or go to war with, since it would permanently end the US economy.

No, the tense is different. Reread and try again.

Maybe ask yourself why I included year between purchase statistics.

That explains so much about German men.

They spent money on more than the essentials. Is what you meant. People on average go seven years between tv purchases and 3 years between phone purchases.

KFC, you need to be poor at one point in your life.

Both iPhones and TVs are cheaper than a months worth of groceries.

Yes, the wall street journal is Russian propaganda. So are news sources in general. Best not read them.

Credit card debt is at an all time high, more people are living paycheck to paycheck than ever before, Americans rejected Biden explicitly because of his gaslighting about how good the economy was, union membership is up, and nearly all Americans celebrated the death of that CEO.

People aren’t in a good spot. They don’t have disposable income unless they above median wage. The great depression had better ratios in terms of money spent on essentials.

Incorrect, anyone that wants infinite growth is too stupid to breathe, much less be a part of a successful business.
