they're completely dead, did you not see the pictures?

(They were evacuated in advance)

maybe you can get hired by the PRC to balance their budgets

Maybe you can join a reading group here before using some thought terminating cliche like "balance budgets".

in 2023 the total healthcare cost in China was 1,249,253,919,000.00 USD compare that to around 11-14 billion in Cuba.

This is the same amount per person.

I think you've defaulted to defensiveness because AES are often attacked by leftcoms but that's not necessary here

Yeah it should be a lot fucking easier to do as China than Cuba, they can barely import enough fuel to keep the lights on

I reread the article, I reckon it's about satellites in general deorbiting faster to avoid a Kessler syndrome scenario

Sean Elvidge at the University of Birmingham, UK, says this effect could benefit satellite operators like SpaceX by removing dead satellites from orbit more quickly that could otherwise pose a danger to other satellites. “It’s speeding up that process,” he says. However, it could limit our ability to operate satellites in orbits below 400 kilometres, known as very low Earth orbit. “It shows that could be challenging,” he says.

this is beneficial to SpaceX as it means the end of life satellites will re-enter faster, getting them out of the way for their replacements

They can deorbit them at any time though?

Nah, it's pretty crap compared to say, Cuba

E.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7388505/

For context the Chinese healthcare system is basically run on neoliberal brainworms (except competently).

You'd rip out the entire system instead of doing these little top up fixes to expand access and coverage.

We did that before too.

Although the US is going pretty hard on trying to undo what weak protections already existed, and flint didn't have clean water for at least a decade (to name the most notable example). remarkable country to have such a sustained decline in life expectancy

is a Presidential system

Just last year they got the last one to drop out on the threat of removal while in office. An advantage of running 80 year old candidates

The US also transferred weapons from Libya to the Middle East - there's a public DIA memo warning that it would create an ISIS
