This is why healthcare shouldn't be treated as a business.

Oh boy things are going to get fun when the NHS is fully privatised.

UK proving itself as the canary in the coal mine for the west's future since 2008.

I'm not going to lie but this article/chart is a bit misleading.

For one many of the "Private" companies listed here are well, not private or "capitalist" (as much as you can get in china.) entities but either agricultural or Town-Worker cooperatives, so yeah.

And For two this is "Market Share" not the total amount of GDP (PPP really but westoids) for China, which obviously SOEs are going to provide less purely because they aren't engaged in the same level of stock trading private Chinese concerns are engaged with.

And for three, this ultimately changes nothing, SOEs will still control the commanding heights of the economy no matter what and hence private capital in china is still ultimately subject to that of the dictatorship of the Proletariat, so yeah.

Welp, once the Chinese EUVs come online then it's bye bye to the western tech sector.

Jesus, I mean to be honest I live in the south east (aka the part of the UK that effectively leeched of the rest of britbong land when we began to enter the end stage of capitalism) and even down here I wouldn't exactly describe the situation as great, sure you do get actual protein in your food parcels here but it's only slightly better to be honest, and your certainly not getting enough food to meet your required caloric intake per month that's for sure.

To be honest I think the government is doing it on purpose, in the place I work at we have more than enough food (for fuck shake I was literally having to squeeze in what I could.) probably so that the proles will be too starved to riot (probably won't work mind you, believe me the Tsarists tried this in Russia and all it led to was for the peasants and proles to Join the Bolsheviks.) but yeah, in my opinion most foodbanks absolutely have enough food to go around it's just that the government wants to starve the proles so they don't have the energy to revolt.

I actually work at a Foodbank and I can tell you if people are having issues getting stuff from a Foodbank it ain't because there low on stock, that's for sure.

Like seriously last Tuesday we had issues simply putting away all of the "donations" (in air quotes because most of our supply comes from Tesco's and friends, not from like dudues leaving donations or anything.) so if foodbanks are utterly incapable of doing much it ain't because we got a lack of supply.

Actually thinking about this we usually don't give out much food per donation, like, for a family of four for instance we probably make up like 4 boxes or something like that, which is basically fuck all to be honest especially for a family that size, like I guess if you wanted to be generous it would be enough for 1000 calories per day per person, which again is on the generous side of things, certainly nowhere near the recommended caloric intake for men and women.

TL:Dr, foodbanks are probably holding back on the donations they give out even when you do get vouchers, so yeah, fuuunnnnn.

To be honest this has the vibe of "Omg what happened to by profits 😭" I'm all due honesty. And assumes that china won't like, idk, Nationalize failing companies, and that it'll do what the west did and wait like a few decades for it's industry to decay and won't do fuck all lol.

???? This is a private estimate for one. And literally they missed out on industrial profits by like 0.5 percent, profits, yea clearly the denominator for industrial prowess.

Yeah, this is like utterly bullshit.

Housing prices in china have generally been on the decline since 2021. Really there hyper focusing on like down town motherfucking tier one city apartments despite the fact that chinas infrastructure is so advanced that is is more than possible for someone to live in the cheaper outskirts of town and simply commute by train or bus into the city (this is fairly common in like Hong Kong, onto where living in the city is fucking awful but the wages there aren't that bad, hence most people simply live in nearby Shenzhen and NOT bamboo scaffolding city )
