I think it would be disastrous in America or Korea, but it seems to work here and it would probably work in Japan.

Theres 2 paths they can take as incomes go up and electric vehicle prices go down: effective mass transit or India.

I mean we got tariffs and being mean to poor people under Biden. So we had a driver promising ice cream while they only drive toward the cliff, the other driver criticizing him for not going fast enough, and then a guy with a megaphone yelling at anyone who says “we need the first guy to stop driving off a cliff, turn the wheel, hit the brake, something please, or the other guy is going to get to drive”

They were woke through, Mr Rodgers aired an episode soaking in a pool with a black police officer during the civil rights movement. The Nixon administration specifically went after him when they tried to gut federal funding for PBS.

No, CNN told my dad that.

Yeah those are all pretty valid. Going cashless requires a lot more from society than just giving everyone an app.

Or like the one bar I go to is still kinda lawless haha, a PBR is $2.

lmao you should see how cheap liquor is in asia.

Quite a few companies in China have been outsourcing to Vietnam to avoid tariffs during the first Trump administration. They didn’t reverse course after the Biden administration increased tariffs further.

Even if Trump didn’t touch the 25% special tariff on Chinese goods, 20% alone justifies doing so.

It’s so bad for the flow of traffic.

I can only pray the government does something to discourage cars and encourage electric bikes before it gets worse.

A lot of places in east asia have red light timers. If theres nobody coming, people will start when theres like 3 seconds left.

I saw someone do that in Korea. The guy in front immediately stops the car and sits there for like 2 minutes as the guy behind honks and eventually does like a 7 point turn to go around.

People liked when they switched to Kamala. Then Kamala embraced Trumps 2020 platform and her popularity plummeted.

Which country are you from? “Places america dropped incendiaries on civilians” doesnt really narrow it down.

Regarding 2 and 3, theres a qualitative difference between the chinese government mandating corporations respect privacy and not retain or use biometric data and the US doing so (with the EU somewhere in the middle, usually), and what they have historically used that data for.

Regarding 1, in the event of a total societal collapse where not even phone towers are running, I’m not sure how much utility money would have.

I’m in Hanoi right now. Theres quite a few SUVs and crossovers. Maybe between 1:4 and 1:8 cars to bikes.

Mostly Kias and Toyotas, I saw 1 Ford Explorer.

I mean it has a subway in the same way Atlanta has a subway. There’s 2 lines that probably can’t get you where you’re going, and it’s always faster to take a motorcycle.

It’s not.

Crazy that this technology still exists. Half my credit cards don’t even have raised numbers.

I’ve never even seen a manual card reader machine. How does it know if a card is declined?
