It's funny when the western supremacists themselves try to claim that supporting communist countries is a uniquely western phenomenon, when its the opposite, it's the US and its vassals demonizing Cuba, China, and the USSR.

The CPC has over 90 million members, every socialist country like Cuba and nearly every communist party on the planet supports and looks up to the CPC as a model for the 21st century. Even most non-communist global south countries look up to it.

Organizing tasks in pomodoros (which is really close to your method), is a great way to do things.

As far as the motivation for these large projects, its noteworthy that the most common profession in the NPC, the highest governing body in the PRC, is civil engineers.

I've seen a few shorter documentaries about how these massive projects are carried out, and it's fascinating.

And poverty eradication. And high speed rail. And smartphone and chip tech, and space program... kind of a long list.

The PRC doesn't have an already-built-up car-focused infrastructure like the US does for example, so they get to do it right from scratch. It becomes very difficult to get rid of that once it's built, so its best to do it right from the start.

They're trying to account for current and future needs for city-to-city travel.

We're testing some beta's for the upcoming release, and it had some performance issues, so I had to downgrade and restore from a backup.

We do this testing here so other instances don't have to, and so we can find any bugs before a release. Again, this is my bad, I apologize.
