I thought if we made workers poorer then it'd force a more competitive environment! How did this basic core macro-economic principle of neo-liberal economics fail us?!
My grandfather gave me some dilapidated house in some place called Stardew something. It was a dump so I stayed at my job at Joja corporate. Some guy named Pierre wanted to buy it for like a fraction of what it was worth, real predatory guy. Last I checked it was infested with some sort weird bug. It almost sounded like it could talk, the weirdest things. Sometimes, I think about visiting, just out of curiosity, but then the quarterly reports come due, and keep forgetting about it. Recently, Pierre’s emails has gone from predatory lowball offers to ranting about the 'soul of the valley' and how my land is supposedly pivotal to some community revival fantasy. Honestly, if the bugs are half as persistent as Pierre, maybe they deserve to inherit the place.
Accidentally chewing apple seeds release hydrogen cyanide, a fast-acting toxic chemical. They don't us munching on that part.

These are all franchisees. These people have no real power other than controlling labor costs.
We don't see the social mobility required for a merit-based society. Harvard's Equality of Opportunity Project highlighted the increasing importance of the "birth lottery" in this country.
China doesn't need to produce the fast chips because their comparative advantage is in quantity manufacturing.
They crashed in the East China Sea. They really go out of their way to not say what body of water they crashed in.
In 2013, the United States' Bureau of Economic Analysis changed the methodology for how GDP was calculated. R&D and intellectual property were reclassified as investments rather than costs, which increased the reported size of US GDP. Countries that had more high-tech and creative industries would see a boost in GDP while countries known for manufacturing would not see such a large increase. This lead to a perception that the U.S. economy is growing faster or is larger compared to countries like China.
Of course they still don't see a difference between scientific sensors and spying equipment.
Yeah, a business that exists to take losses. Sure.

They just happen to publish a new System of National Accounts (SNA) every time this happens. Last time it was to put more emphasis on R&D.
