Xiaohongshu bans all politics, even references. There's more serious platforms for those type of people, whereas xiaohongshu is to have fun and connect with others.
That's a hilarious story.
A) eastern Oregon all combined has about the GDP of Portland. If it were it's own state, it'd be among the poorest and require tens of billions of federal funds to operate at all. If it joined Idaho, Idaho would actually become less productive per capita while the remaining Oregon becomes more productive.
B) if independent it would give two solid red senate seats
C) most of its water comes from the Cascades, which would absolutely vote to remain in western Oregon, meaning they'd forever be dependent on a blue state, and would be taking advantage of blue states investment into water management while contributing nothing.
D) this move, if allowed at the federal level, would encourage other balkanization of states, creating mass confusion among businesses, generating billions in new costs to handle the bureaucratic strain, and generally make doing anything positive with taxes impossible for decades. That's without dealing with the massive number of lawsuits, e.g. decades long contracts with states that Might be invalidated with the new state that needs to be settled.
A) solar energy isn't clean, and it's the exact opposite of environmentally friendly; it's just that current power sources are so much worse it looks good by comparison.
B) fusion cannot ever be profitable. The fuel for it is the most common on the planet, if not the universe, requires no special refining, and can't be made artificially scarce. A post fusion world is a post energy industry world. It's the practical end of what currently owns the US and other countries.
This has drastically reduced funding for it and has blocked advancement for decades. This project among others in China have no profit motive, they are trying to accomplish a goal without caring how they can become rich off it. If fusion energy is possible, it'll be done in China.
It just took someone without a profit motive
If democrats could critically examine anything, they wouldn't be democrats.
It's better to live with a few trolls than intentionally make users feel unsafe.
I explicitly support Hamas. I also support the several hundred other orgs fighting Zionism, but I support Hamas too.
...that was nearly the entirety of the worlds view for most of post printing press history. But in this case a majority of China's citizens felt pornography was offensive, so it's now illegal. Not enough people care to introduce or vote in legislation to make it legal.
You're only not a slave due to people going around burning things and causing destruction.
Samuel L Jackson was in Grease. The movie.
