Need two things to happen in life.
1. @chancetherapper and @Wretch32 to do a song together.
2. @joerogan and @JoeSantagato to do a podcast together. Throw @Frank_Alvarez80 in there and
then I could go out knowing I’ve truly lived a good life.
Just to be clear, I am not leaving The Batman Part II. I am profoundly grateful to Steven for coming to my aid during this challenging time to help me finish principal photography. Thank you to all for your concern and well wishes. 🦇

This is how I see it...
China is not Communist in the sense that the state owns all the means of production, and there are no market prices (you need at least 2 owners of property for a market to develop).
The U.S. is also not Capitalist.
We don't have sound money, free markets, and respect for private property. Only hints remain.
Both the U.S. and China are a marriage of State & Corporations.
The difference is the hierarchy.
China's hierarchy is State over Corporations.
America's hierarchy is Corporations over the State.
The Chinese state clearly puts China first, and corporations have to conform themselves to that. The Chinese trade with the world and don't invade the world.
America puts everything but America (and especially Israel) first. America invades the world.
The results of both hierarchies are crystal clear.
China is thriving. America is bankrupt.
