I remember halo 3 and reach having a lot of customization and every single helmet had to be earned through playing. Good times.

Stalin was wrong in stopping the settler genocidal project of germany and shouldve apologized to hitler personally.

The fact that its a commodity that can be mass manufactured at will should steer anyone from engaging in speculation lol, funko pops, sports cards, shoes, etc... Its all insanely stupid.

like do westerners forget these things are made by people? The avg westerner is so distanced from production that its legit concerning how stupid they are

I want to start an organisation that certifies companies as worker controlled. Your thoughts? in c/comradeship@lemmygrad.ml

Gonna be honest here, i dont think this does anything meaningful. Poor people ultimately only care about the price of the commodity, if X certified product costs more than Y non-certified product, people will buy Y product and X product will fail.

Inefficient small businesses making a profit thanks to western worker aristocracy that are able to overpay for their products is not useful for anything, its literally just virtue signalling.

If small business want to compete against big business, they have to become more efficient at production, otherwise they are charity.

Why Are Argentina's Highest-Denomination Currency Bills Being Printed By a State-Owned Company in China? | naked capitalism (www.nakedcapitalism.com)

Turns out Argentina and many more countries rely on Chinese companies even to produce bills 😅

Some governments have asked Beijing not to publicise the deal because they are worried such information could compromise national security or trigger “unnecessary debates at home”, the person said.

They even know it's shameful lmao.

I wonder how many more "invisible" industries China dominates, i always assumed that central banks had the monopoly on producing their own physical currencies but turns out i was wrong.
