massive nothingburger that looks to be more a way to drain bleeding-edge therapies from the US for use in China than any fundamental change in the healthcare sector

look at the big glass structures gentrifying the small concrete structures smh

No lol

JD Vance is smart and quick-witted. You don't go from bumfuck Ohio to Yale Law otherwise. Don't have to like him, his policies (or his absolute dogshit PR team) to recognize that.

Commoditizing something is harder than showing a demonstrator (even if it's less cool than the demonstrator)

Musk is really good at headhunting and cutting through middle management cruft. He's actually really good at being a CEO, he's just also... y'know

Switzerland lifts ban on the development of nuclear power plants due to geopolitical tension and climate targets

In more local news, Falcon ends B.C. United campaign, throws support to Conservatives

Dude who literally kicked the BC Conservative leader out of the party is now supporting the BC Conservatives (apparently without consulting his candidates). Now BC United candidates are stuck up shits creek, meanwhile the party that Falcon said was "too extreme to govern" is now the party he supports.

Oh, and BC just approved single-stair apartments.

Wouldn't explain the pilot death so it doesn't work

I honestly don't understand what the US obsession with low-ROI government spending is. Like, it's not that hard to spend money so that a dollar in leads to multiple dollars in future cost savings or multiple dollars in economic growth.

I guess it's because the US doesn't price in the cost of healthcare? Maybe the zero-sum global perspective? The high cost of war?

Build a subway. Build climate mitigation infrastructure. Plant trees. Feed children. Give people doctors. Education for all. There's this whole individualist "fuck you got mine" mentality that seems to completely stall progress in the US and blows up the cost of doing anything that benefits other people to the point of it not being worthwhile.

Basically all Western reporting on China is hampered by having no native speakers on the journalism or editorial team.

Wait, what happened in Minnesota? I'm out of the loop.
