The private luxury real estate market crashed, the only people hurt by this are foreign investors and people dumb enough to copy us strategies to build wealth instead of doing something of value with their lives. No one was made homeless.

Your second paragraph only affects the private sector, and thats generally true of all private economies right now; China just doesn't allow their private economy to effect the needs of the people.

Your third is mostly nonsense as no long term strategies have changed in the last few years except far more talks on whether real estate should be privatized in any way or if the private side of that industry has outlived it's usefulness; and of course an acceleration of space goals due to the potential for the EU and musk to take all useful leo orbits.

Ah yes, it must be... Russian propaganda that China uses business deals instead of raping, enslaving, and colonizing like the West did... And you're claiming this under a story where the oppressed populations just keep telling the former colonizers to get the fuck out or die; not a story of them kicking out China.

Why do you think chinas economy is doing poorly when it's economy is growing while the US is still shrinking?

"lack of remorse or ethics" = paying African nations more than all western corpos combined for the same resources?

Yes, it's meant to stop land hoarding by allowing people that will actually make use of land to make use of the land. It's a positive thing that will absolutely be removed sooner rather than later as people start losing ownership of land and property ownership becomes the exclusive domain of corporations in the US.

China is socialist. Socialist countries can have market economies and even capitalist economies, as long as the dictatorship of the proletariat ultimately controls all of the economy. Just a reminder China's killed multiple billionaires.

Shitting in a bucket in a van is less noble than you make it out to be.

We did in the 80s when you last were culture bombed about it. The textile industry is mostly in China now, and mostly automated, including cotton harvesting. Wool has some issues but animal cruelty tends not to register with you people, but poly blend clothing, which is by far the majority of clothing produced, has less human labor than most electronics manufacturing.

It's a game version of what you imagined the little Lego vehicles you pretended to create as a kid did in your imagination. It's pretty fun, kinda grindy in campaign mode, but at least worth an afternoon if you like any other vehicle building pseudo engineering game.

And yes there is multiplayer, including multi-single player where other people's vehicles invade your world. It's balanced enough that you shouldn't usually get curb stomped by them.

In 2008 they'd just use retard. It wasn't even slightly controversial of a word at that point, just like disabled isn't really now (since that differently abled nonsense euphemism failed to take off).
