My question is why give your government so much power. Just in hope they do the right and knows how to work the numbers.

At least in the us, we knew we could not rely on the SSA. That’s why people save up 401k, other form of investment. And if math checks out people can retire much early(50s or even 40s).

It’s like trusting the us government with more tax dollar to bring equality but they in turn invest in invading other countries. Just funny, you know.

"did in decades what took centuries for the west" idk man it's almost like they had a whole ass history of what not to do that other people tried first. Now they don't even have to do that, they just steal intellectual property and other stuff via putting malware on electronics before they even get shipped.

"bursting out of thousands of years of subsistence farming into industrial modernity" was that before or after China decided to try and get rid of sparrows and ended up causing a famine that killed 15 million people by the lowest estimate?

"crossed the bridge far more humanely" remember when they executed clearly well educated individuals like yourselves because they thought anyone more educated than a farmer would eventually become subversive? Or was it by the CCP's own estimated 2 million killed and 7 million disabled in the Cultural Revolution? or deciding to oppress Uyghurs and put them in camps?

Honestly you sound like someone who would be arguing your case all the way up to being executed and kicked into a ditch by Red Guards for being a member of the educated bourgoisie.

Cooking styles? Each cut of bacon (chops, joints, back, streaky and middle) is cooked and used differently. We cook streaky bacon the same way as op. Saying that the "British style of cooking bacon is atrocious" just sounds ignorant and is frankly offensive.
