I'm suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won't happen to China now that they're industrialized.

It's also worth mentioning Gates has made our public education system worse by introducing us to the voucher system. Billionaires are part of why we don't spend our tax dollars on things like universal healthcare or free college.

We don't don't need princes or kings doing PR. If we taxed billionaires out of existence we could fund that and so much more. This guy doesn't get to make up for whatever he was doing on Epstein's plane, at least not without coming clean first.

That makes it a commodity, not art.

The important thing is that we use our standards to not engage with what is being said but to pursue purity in our information sources. We should start by disconnecting from the fediverse because you obviously can't trust half of what is being said here.
