This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There was a documentary about how china handles business, damn if I can find it now.

They crap out a new city with a port, they offer people bonus state benefits to move there. (normally if you move out of your original area, you lose state benefits) Then they order the state run banks to give businesses 0% loans for whatever industry they're trying to ingest. They make sure that all the businesses they need get on board and fulfill the needs of the manufacturing and BAM, super cheap hard to make things.

They did with with solar, and they did this with EV's

China has some pretty heinous human rights violations, but the US has the ICE-stoppo shooting down legal workers in the streets in front of their kids and we basically handed over all the arms needed to genocide Palestine.
