You know that annexation happened almost 70 years ago right?

You think the numbers of schools in a region that had 97% illiteracy rate and is now 28% remained the same all this time, and they are now, 70 years later, closing down 3 to oppress them? (Out of 2200 btw)

    Official chinese figures report it at 2200 schools of all levels. I didn't post that because the first reply would be "well you can't trust the official figures, the chinese government is clearly lying!“

    And really, comparing similarly sized places around the world is not valid? You really need to visit China, it is as good or better than any other place I've been. We know their literacy rate is good, school math and science levels are among the highest, etc. Why wouldn't it be comparable to other places?

    Wow, a whole 3 schools in a region of almost 4 million people?

    Comparing with a similar sized state in my country:

    • 1412 pre schools
    • 1611 basic education, first 5 years
    • 800 basic education, last 4 years
    • 337 high schools

    Closing 3 is almost a cultural genocide omg

    Since nobody is answering you: no, nobody's lives got better. Economy is in stagflation, crime is is worse than it ever was, no relevant housing projects, no relevant infrastructure investment, education reform, etc. The tax reform will take a decade to come in effect.

    Oh but there were a ton of new taxes, including for small goods imported from overseas, which everybody used to buy constantly (shein, temu, etc). Made the post office (public company) lose several billions per year and only increased effective tax revenue by a few hundred million. So the government lost overall and the people lost. At the same time, a new head to the post office and several high paying jobs there were appointed from the government party.

    This kind of thing keeps happening so people just want something new and there are no other lefty candidates because Lula never shared power

    Lula is no saint. His party is involved in a ton of corruption schemes. The last 4 years saw the economy in "stagflation": low growth, high inflation, high interest rates. People don't see any meaningful change in the past 4 years.

    If Lula's party (worker's party) didn't suppress the other left parties in the last 20 years, there would be a viable alternative. The election now is like 5 candidates from th right, each worse than the other, vs Lula. If you don't like Lula and want to oust his party, your only option is basically fascism.

    "What would you prefer sir, the current corrupt government and feeling insecure to leave your home due to crime, or the fascist that promises to shoot bandits and will become the new corrupt government?"

    Did modern houses get super bland? Yes

    Do I miss those awful wallpapers? No

    I thin we can all agree there is a happy middle ground where the furniture and walls aren't monochrome but also don't assault our eyes with information

    Thei did have an entire season saying "#cancelsouthpark" every episode. They say in interviews that they don't take it seriously but people keep paying so they will keep making whatever they want

    option 2: Invocatus (140) master of executions (110) 10 jakhals (65) 3x 3 eightbound (3x 140) 2x 3 exalted eightbound (2x 155)
