Are you paying attention yet?
What he says resonates with so many people because they feel trapped. Work more just to pay more taxes so you can’t afford a house outright without the bank or the county owning pieces of it forever.
Do you see it?
@maximumpain333 I have been testing these copper cups for the past 60 days. All I can tell you is that I have the most regulated daily 💩 in my whole life ever since birth. It works. Took me about two weeks to start seeing the results.
89 years ago on this day, Japan launched their full scale invasion of China. Their aim was genocide.
89 years later, most Japanese are still not acknowledging the genocidal nature of their war. Many Japanese call the war. "The China incident".
The idea of portraying Japan as the victims of World War 2 seem preposterous for any person with a brain, but this is the mainstream view in Japan, in public at least. They may be smart enough to know this is total nonsense, but in public they either feign ignorance, or outright lie about the war their country had started.
@guychristensen_ Don't ever think that this is a huge financial loss, All housing are affordable and extremely well appointed now. I rent an 1550 sq.ft apt in China for under $700 USD per month. It is a high rise. It's under 20 years old. but in good and clean condition.
A single mother put 40 cents into a slot machine at a New York casino and won $43 MILLION. The casino offered her a steak dinner and $2.25 instead. A judge sided with the casino. She walked away with nothing.
– Katrina Bookman grew up in foster care.
– She was homeless as a teenager. Raised four kids on her own as a single mother in New York.
– On August 5 2016 she walked into Resorts World Casino in Queens and put 40 cents into a slot machine called Sphinx Wild.
– Bells went off. Lights flashed. The screen displayed her winnings in full. $42,949,672.76. The biggest slot machine jackpot in American history.
– She took a selfie with the screen. She was already planning what to do with the money.
– A MILLION dollars for her son who wanted to open a barbershop.
– A casino employee told her to come back the next day to collect her winnings after an official review.
– The next day the casino told her the machine had malfunctioned. She had won nothing.
– They offered her $2.25, the amount showing on her printed ticket and a complimentary steak dinner as a gesture of goodwill.
– She said "Really? Are you serious? I felt insulted."
– She refused both and hired a lawyer.
– She filed a 17 page lawsuit against the casino, its parent company, and the slot machine manufacturer.
– Her lawyer argued that even if the $43 MILLION was a malfunction the machine's maximum legitimate jackpot was $6,500. The casino should pay at least that. The casino refused even that.
– The New York State Gaming Commission confirmed the malfunction.
– Every machine in the casino had a small disclaimer printed on it: "Malfunctions void all pays and plays."
– After years of delays including COVID the case finally went to court.
– A judge at Queens County Supreme Court ruled in favor of the casino.
– Katrina Bookman walked away with nothing.
– Not the $43 MILLION, not the $6,500. Not even the steak dinner.
A single mother who grew up in foster care put 40 cents into a machine, watched it display $43 MILLION, took a selfie, came back the next day and was handed $2.25 and a dinner reservation.
@luo_yuehan China is not an easy place to get legal immigration in. In fact it is the toughest. How does he think he can just come and live in China. i hope people have a bit of sense and really look up this in the proper channels.
This may be the funniest chapter in Apple’s India adventure.
Apple moved part of its supply chain to India to escape the “China risk” narrative — only to end up accusing Indian regulators of copy-pasting its rivals’ claims in an antitrust probe.
It left the world’s most complete industrial ecosystem and walked into a legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, and operational swamp.
In China, Apple spent decades making money.
In India, Apple is learning that the factory is only yours until the tax office, the regulator, the local partner, or the next data leak remembers it wants a piece.
Supplier lists leaked.
Component details leaked.
Parts photos leaked.
Confidential Apple files exposed.
Factories caught fire.
Antitrust probes accused of copy-pasting rivals’ claims.
A tax law from 1961 suddenly threatening global iPhone profits.
This has never been about “China+1.”
This is India pretending to be China, minus discipline, infrastructure, and legal predictability — plus chaos.
Foreign capital went to India looking for the next China.
What it found was not a supply-chain alternative.
It went there for profit.
India came for the principal.
China built an ecosystem.
India built a PowerPoint.
China made Apple rich.
India is teaching Apple what real risk feels like.
So stop talking about “the next China.”
The next China is still China.
