catsudon's JournalAmazon payed $50.000 to have anti union courses on public schools
https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvndja/amazon-paid-for-a-high-school-course-heres-what-they-teachSeriously, everyone needs to read this article. This course includes:
" ( one ) unit focuses on “Worker Motivation.” One team activity prompts students to “Brainstorm ways you could motivate your employees other than large bonuses and high salaries.” Another question asks them “What is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and how do these needs relate to employee motivation?” (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a concept in psychology that, broadly speaking, says people will do what they have to do to survive before working to improve their physical and mental well-being**.**)
This is disgusting! Schools are halfway to being nothing more than serf-labor work indoctrination camps. This is in NO WAY comparable to a true vocational track, where students who want to train in hands-on skilled trades can get a head start on that path.
How was this even approved?!

It’s a test. If you actually write the phrase out, they shoot you on the spot.
Also it is refreshing to see similar idioms in different languages. In Chinese, it would be "fed by dog mother"

i believe this is a good thing, it is time to spend money to upgrade to current technology that is more clean rather than going back to coal plant or dangerous old nuclear plants that is still using 20 years old tech

we should be more like Lithuania
China could be the greatest government and greatest nation on the planet. All they have to do is do the opposite of whatever fuckery they doing now.
God I want to root for China for so bad but in this day in age I wouldn't give a fuck if Brainiac just up and abducted the whole country, minus Hong Kong, Xinjiang, China Mongolia, and Tibet, and put China into a hyperbolic time chamber until they get their fucking shit together. You know, give Chinese freedom of speech, voting rights, gay rights, etc. And stop threatening Taiwan and Japan.
Why does China get to kill 40 million Chinese and the people responsible get to stay in power?
Why does China get to steal every fucking IP and allowed to participate on the world stage?
Why does China get to protect North Korea which is holding millions of Koreans hostage?
Why?
