Just go back to needing futures to actually be fulfilled in kind.

And maybe limit/outlaw complex financial products.

These would be a solid start to fixing the issue of the unsustainable, and irrational, not to mention unconstructive economic growth of the last 60 years.

You're welcome. It's a big place and never gets a fair voice in Anglophone media. Alas, it's still no utopia or shining beacon.

But all the same, for a country that has spent its whole existence staring down the barrel of the USA, the PRC has done well for itself. Raised living standards according to UN/World Bank metrics. Drastically reduced unintended (wording due to one child policy) deaths of children.

But the Cultural Revolution did a number on society that helped shape it into the nation of alienated neoliberal subjects it is today.

Frank's Red Hot
Cholula

And a great that's hard to get: Yellow Dragon Lantern Pepper Mash (黄灯笼) from Hainan. Amazing fruity flavour and hotter than hell.

Yes, the famous oppression of roads, schools, non-for-profit admin, and health care.

Ceres is a planet.

Makemake, Hamuhea, Pluto, and Eris can come too I guess.

Delightfully failing to be either but with a huge sense of superiority and disdain for the youth and migrants.

Different languages have unique world views and understandings.

To have a single language is to eradicate a plethora of cultures... Nothing perfect about that.

I accidentally beat the Mantis Triplets far earlier than I needed to because I couldn't find the path into the ruined capital city I was meant to take.

Long route back to fighting the optional boss to enter a far too difficult zone for me. Only after beating them and discovering that that was not where I was meant to go did I backtrack and find the turning I'd missed to actually progress. (I rather liked Hollow Knight despite this, but you don't and that's fine. I just think it would be funny (, and a sign of poor map design if you made the same map reading error I did).)

At the beginning of each upkeep, lose two life and draw 2 sodas.

Depends on where in the world, but most dating systems were reginal, that is what year of what monarch/pharaoh/emperor's reign.

I'm not sure the guy invoking Soros is meant to be taken seriously or sympathetically.

Edit: also the artist is the Jewish artist Eli Valley, apparently.
