When I look at other communist nations, they were invaded, couped, and/or sabotaged at every opportunity, and (forgive me, my history of China is weak) while I'm sure that China faced obstacles from capitalists outside of the country, it somehow rose up to be the power that it is today while the USSR fell, Vietnam and Korea got bombed to hell and back, Cuba was put under crippling sanctions, and surely countless other uprisings got squashed young.

But china didn't just survive, they thrived. How?

Well I hope you had a very nice breakfast though. I enjoyed my crunchy deep fried potato chunks and orange.

I had a couple of hot dogs and a half gallon of sweet tea. Bout to eat an orange though. You save and candy your peels?

I ate out for the first time in months so sadly no. I do however have a giant jar of sliced and diced up lemons, ginger slivers, and cinnamon soaking in honey and sugar as a jar of pre-made tea mix. Sorta similar since I eat the entire pile of lemon ginger mush after drinking a cup of the tea. But that's a once in a while treat because that's so much sugary goodness!
