The Coming Decline of 'Made In China'
retroworks writes: Adam Minter documents the move of Chinese steel mills to Africa, and speculates that China's years of incredible rates of economic growth may already be over. This one steel mill's move to Africa, by itself, increases Africa's production by two-thirds. "The officials in Hebei Province who oversee the company may have felt they had no choice. First, they undoubtedly faced political pressure to reduce their environmental impact in China: reducing production of steel, cement and glass -- all highly polluting industries, especially in developing countries -- will have a direct impact on Xi Jinping’s pollution goals. (Starting in Hebei will have the added benefit of cleaning up polluted, neighboring Beijing.) Second, Hebei may simply be at a loss as to how to scale back businesses that they recognize have become massively bloated. Officials in China’s construction-related industries clearly have too much capacity and too little demand." It's also possible that these moves will be encouraged by China's transition to clean economy, though that could be a bad thing for pollution in Africa.
What the fuck are you gonna do in 2015? I don't know, and honestly I really don't give a shit (just asked to be polite). All I know is that you ain't gonna top me!
I'm gonna bang the hottest bitch in the land, an 18-year old formally shy and innocent girl until I taught her a bunch of tricks and now she's a freak, fucking in all sorts of crazy positions, in public, whenever I want, she's there. I know 50% of the people on this site don't have a girlfriend and therefore never get laid, and the other half have a wife and therefore also never get laid, so suck on that, bitches!
I'm also starting a new job with nearly double the salary of my former job, so now I can get a huge ass apartment or even buy a house (at least the down payment. Why the fuck are houses so expensive?) And I can do whatever the fuck I want in my new apartment and no one can tell me to shut up or fuck off. Money is nothing to me anymore. I can get a maid to clean up after my lazy ass, or probably my girlfriend would do it for free. I'll reward her with sex. Yes, she's the one begging me for sex, not the other way around! Jealous much? Or maybe I'll brag about my money in a way you nerds would better understand. I can buy 10 new computers and still have enough money left over to pay the rent. How's that for a bitchslap to usher in the new year?
And when I'm not home, I'll be getting back into shape, hitting the gym four times a week and bulking up as well as improving my cardio. Healthy body and big muscles to make the whole neighborhood jealous. All the girls will want me, but that doesn't matter because I've got my arm around the most beautiful girl in the world as I walk down these city streets, secretly in my head laughing at all these stupid fucks working 9-5 jobs and still unable to pay the rent. Or they live rent-free with mommy paying the bills. Muhahahhahahaha!
Oh, also, I get to eat a lot of delicious foods (remember, money doesn't mean shit to me anymore, so I can go to the best restaurants in town and chow down), and because of my working out, all those calories will be turned into raw muscle, so the more I eat, the stronger I get. So that means hitting the all-you-can-eat buffet a few times a week, maybe during my long ass lunch breaks. Long as I want, motherfuckers, I'm still getting paid. Fuck yeah! Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!
But now on to the sad part of this post. With my new job, girl, and plain awesomeness I'm not going to have any time to post on Slashdot. Yes, I, the famous poster know as Anonymous Coward, am leaving Slashdot for good. I know I'm this site's most prolific commenter, but unfortunately my new life will force me to quit posting here and start actually doing something meaningful with my life. So, with all due respect to the wonderful people I've argued with and trolled over the years, I must say goodbye. May you all remember me by this glorious post. Best wishes for 2015.
Sincerely,
AC
