The only thing I respect about the current Austrian society is that they fully eliminated royalty and nobility and made the titles illegal.

Germans, Dutch, British, et al prance around acting like they're democracies when they're feudal holdover states. They're not even liberal democracies imho. South America and parts of Africa are much more advanced in that regard, without even mentioning proletarian democracies.

America's still got it. I might not be getting much bread, but the circuses are top-notch.

This is the logical conclusion of seeing raw GDP per capita as the most important metric.

They have no choice but to double down at this point.

would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.

If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.

How is the court system more progressive than the university?

They need to get rid of all the admins and start again because that is no institute of higher education.

When the stock prices go up abnormally, there are repercussions so I'm cautious

Hourly wage nor salaries will rise up and we cannot go on living like this. Only (stock) prices that are unrelated to daily living are rising.

No one feels that the economy's doing well. The rich gets richer while the poor stays poor.

-Saito Kohei is a renowned Marxist scholar from the University of Tokyo

-As a result of ignoring climate change and economic disparity, people are not reproducing anymore

-Japanese social contract has been broken down and lifetime employment has been reduced to irregular employment

-Workers are being seen as nothing more than costs by companies

-Overconcentration of population in Tokyo is happening not due to the wish of the poeple, but due to the concentration of capital there

-Population decline is happening not only in rural areas but in regional cities as well due to this phenomena

-Japan and South Korea are in a grave situation due to advanced capitalism (in their respective countries)

BYD launches plug-in hybrid EV cheaper than petrol cars (www.scmp.com)
 

The car starts at just over US$11,000, lower than bestselling petrol-powered cars like Volkswagen’s Lavida and Toyota’s Corolla

The world’s largest EV maker, BYD has been ramping up efforts to make its mass-market electric cars more affordable for Chinese consumers

BYD, the world’s largest electric-vehicle (EV) maker, has launched a new version of its plug-in hybrid model the Qin Plus DM-i, pricing it lower than bestselling petrol-powered cars like Volkswagen’s Lavida and Toyota’s Corolla.

The company, backed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, said on Monday that the new variant, known as the Glory Edition, aims to accelerate customers’ conversion from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to EVs amid a slowing economy.

The new version starts at 79,800 yuan (US$11,086), lower than the previous edition by 20,000 yuan or 20 per cent. Its battery-only driving range is 55 kilometres.

“The price will make petrol car assemblers tremble,” BYD said in a statement on the microblogging site Weibo. “The Glory Edition will become a benchmark for the Class-A [compact] car segment.”

The new edition is 15 per cent cheaper than the entry-level Lavida and nearly 40 per cent less than the basic Corolla.
