It would not be a case of the US Navy capturing Chinese ships. More likely a statement by USN that they don't give a flying fuck if pirates seize non-US-flagged ships. That would be enough to cause significant stress in the global supply chain, without directly provoking a war.
It appears Chinese style "commanding heights socialism" with mercantilist trade policies is handily beating American style crony capitalism with suicidal trade policies.
Bangkok has made great strides in improving the BTS and the MRT recently. General Prayut may be an oppressive dictator - but he's a friend of public transport!
The Fifty Cent Army is out in force tonight. All these lame quotes about lies spreading faster than truth, from rarely seen accounts with shitty usernames.
Ivan, Comrade Wang, Agent Smith, or minions of the NGO - who knows. But shit man, it's so lame it's almost cool.
In Vietnam, building highrises with 3, 4, and even 5 bedroom apartments is the norm. Right now, today. It's very hard to find a studio or 1 bedroom apartment in a tall building.
It is *totally* possible to build high density, family-friendly housing. That we do not build it in America is a public policy decision, not some inescapable law of economics.
When I lived there, I often felt a great deal of the poverty and suffering the world emanates from Lower Manhattan, like some sort of diabolical radiation.
You know damned well that the massive inflation in house prices *preceded* Airbnb. If anything, the popularity of Airbnb may be due in part to the financial burden imposed on housing occupants by the outrageous price of land.

Go because to Reddit, Ivan.
Bullshit. The law is a whore. The rich make the laws, the poor are forced at the point of a gun to obey. "Consent of the governed" is an obvious lie.
Gulag FTW!
Reddit is notorious for pervasive, aggressive Chinese-style censorship. They have zero credibility. Why does anyone believe a word they say?
I, for one, plan to make an angry post on Slashdot!
It's best when the semi-official opposition are clowns.

Valid analysis. Just because there are not Russians hiding under our beds, does not mean Russia never engages in clandestine operations.

Shhhhhhhh! People are sleeping, you might wake them.
I bit my brother's dog once, after it had bitten me. That dog never bit me again.
Everyone who disagrees with my political opinions is stupid!
"Fascist" is just a colloquial term of abuse. He means "authoritarian".
I still think the bogus left/right divide is sixteen tons of steaming bullshit.

Real life is fascinating. Semi-official propaganda is boring.
Semi-official propaganda would never lie!

Landlords are few, comparatively well organized, and strongly favored by DUH LAW. They are price makers.
Renters are many, mostly disorganized, and have effectively no rights under DUH LAW. They are price takers.

How dare you propose an obviously-correct solution! Literally Hitler! Check your privilege!
