Do for your pets what you think you’d want for yourself, sans religious and societal opinions influencing your choice.

Book smart doesn’t mean street smart.

They trust France?!

I see a different issue. Rather than fixing systemic societal issues that cause and exacerbate issues, accommodate issues – in school; after that, learn to be more exploitative than the system, enjoy a better life, assuming you can avoid mental illness that punish the self rather than others. And of course wealthier families find a way to exploit the system in their favor, but level the wealth playing field? Gfy.

No worries, you aren’t wrong!

I once worked lunch shifts at a local ethnic joint. We had two menus, the official “American” printed version and one for everyone else. The owners were good to me, I ate with the family after the rush, no charge. Was sad when they passed away and the kids went home.

So just like home. If you want good Italian food, go where Italians go, same with any other ethnicity’s food.

Well at least they feel safer killing others!

OMG I’m right there with you, especially after reading through the table here:

Most Western commentary about China stops at one sentence: “China is a one party system.” That’s usually where the analysis begins and ends. One party, one leader, making every decision for 1.4 billion people. That cartoonish level of understanding is exactly why Western analysts break down every time they try to explain why China stays politically stable while the U.S. feels like it’s being held together with duct tape. There is an entire part of China’s political structure that they have never examined. A system designed to absorb conflict instead of inflaming it. A system that has no real equivalent in the Western world. China calls it the political consultation system.

II. What the Consultation System Actually Does The political consultation system is not a parliament and not a symbolic committee. It is a structured channel where different groups in society sit down with policymakers before conflict erupts into chaos. These groups include:

• medical professionals
• engineers and scientists
• educators
• minority communities
• business owners
• researchers
• community representatives They walk into the room with real data and real problems. They discuss issues before they explode into national crises.

Yep.

I guess Western msm will continue to ignore this until regular people start harping on it. A damned shame.

But that’s also because I chose to live in a rural area so I consider the fact I’m surrounded by straight up fucking nazis to be an unfortunate side effect of being able to go outside for long periods of time uninterrupted.

That and it’s a lot more affordable. Not necessarily affordable in decent housing, but you know. There’s absolutely a tradeoff in needing transportation to better jobs.

I do agree that this is the conclusion reactionary misogynists tend to come to, yeah.

In high poverty level area, that’s what a lot of women decide too, at least in the rural Deep South.
