"Good people forced to live in bad times" is the human condition
Maybe Trump is trying to provoke some major social clashes this summer. Tons of racial tension from his immigration and anti -"DEI" (code for anti-black) policies, and possibly incoming devastating economic tension from the tariffs disruption the consumer market. He wants there to be riots, the biggest riots you've ever seen, and he wants to see how much more power he can snag to suppress them and how many rioters he can kill
This thing happening in a capitalist liberal democracy is just like George AuthOrwelltarian said the communists would do
Well shit you weren't kidding, they really were blue
Garlic bulbs have gotten hella small the left few weeks
Follow up thought, China was extremely underdeveloped (due to being colonized and war) by the time the communists wrestled their way to power. Because they were able to gradually increase the quality of life and stability of society, they were able to maintain popular support. European communist nations were either already developed (GDR) or not developed very fully (Romania?), so the citizens didn't give the government credit for improving their material conditions
Since I haven't seen it mentioned it, what role did reeducation and cultural revolutions play in China to help it resist Western influence? Many other communist revolutions had a disaffected petite bourgeoisie class that resented the new system and worked to undermine it through subterfuge. Did the effects of the Chinese civil war and later reforms have enough staying power to change people's general ideas of property and government?

Car parts chain is closing locations and I got the best deal on car parts in my life
"Advance Auto Parts" is closing almost all it's west coast stores and are liquidating all inventory. After ignoring it for a month or two, I finally went in to check it out. Everything appears to be 95% off.
I'm talking $5 brake rotors, $1 coolant hoses, $8 for an entire front shock & strut assembly, $15 fuel pumps, $.03 cleaning sprays.If you live anywhere near a closing store and own a car, you should probably check if they have anything you might need one day, cuz you'll never get a better deal. Employees were all really chill too considering they're about to be laid off.
I could see "gasoline". Maybe peppery.
