A bullet train from NYC to Chicago will definitely have stops in Pittsburg (maybe even philly), cleveland or columbus . All with fairly well developed businesses. I am personally not a great fan of driving for lots of miles . And air journeys are quiet inconvenient and fairly expensive -...

Hey look man, I get the pride you have in Chinese infrastructure - it is legitimate. If americans built a bullet train network and metro network - they too will be filling up internet forums boasting about it. But if you want americans to think they are living a poor life - atleast the ones who...

I dont think flights come anywhere near the comfort high speed travel provides. For eg. there is a train almost every 20-30 mins from beijing to shanghai. You need to go to shanghai ? just turn up the station and wait. On the other hand catching an airflight from say NYC to Chicago isnt that...

American suburbia was shaped by public policy and redlining - not so much as people demand. It really started in 50s after Fannie Mae and (later Freddie Mac) started the unprecedented 30 year mortgage - backed by the fed which in turn is backed by us dollar. These mortgages allowed even...

I think you still need an attendant in the oassenger seat,

I recently had the impossible burger version 2.0. It aint that bad. but this time i made it home with high quality buns and a fresh sauce. It still lacks the smell of real meat - but texture is pretty close. Anyway it will not replace meat as of now. And neither should it.

Thats pretty much the core idea of indian nationhood - if you are hindu then you must be loyal to india. Otherwise whats the meaning of loyalty to india - its basically loyalty to a british entity cobbling together vast nationalities - lmao. thats why "india" as it is now will always be a...

what are the exact measures though? the link does not have any additional information.

Thanks for your reply. Treatment of foreigners wasn't my key area of interest in the question. What i was interested in was how a socialist country treats the workers in this situation. Workers are of course the proletariat here and they were working for private capital (Ali baba). Once the...

Is there a lower limit to the size of the company enforcing it ? I doubt a small restaurant can pay n+1 compensation to its employee

Just curious - what happens in china if someone loses a job like this. Does govt mandate that companies pay them severance? do they get any unemployment beenfit ?

Wasnt aware of that. Were you saying india send troops after 1947? then why china vacate it after occupying in 1962 ?

To be fair to india - it is not as indian govt went and occupied north-east. The british did the occupation and then granted control of these lands to Delhi.

Good point. However i believe SUVs are generally included in cars. it is Pick ups which may not be. And US is a gigantic market for pick ups.

dude - why include singapore. This is surest way of making enemies and irritating people. I have seen posts claiming Vietnamese and koreans as little brothers of china.

dude - you are way over hyping this "loss of face" and "humilation" trope. these are racist carcatures of eastern asian people that they irrationally cling to "face" or whatever. In the end it was distinctly possible that pelosi cancelled the trip too. then would you have gone tom tomming about...

The way I see it - when china said it will take military action - a lot of people assumed this meant militarily intercepting Pelosi flight. Now china knew people were thinking that but did not bother deny it, as maybe they were thinking this ambiguity will help them. Ofcourse china need not...

One thing i have noticed with chinese housing is that the towers are quiet widely spaced . Usually the housing is within one large square surronded by wide roads on all four sides. And inside are tower blocks with quiet some greenery within them. I heard chinese have this regulation that every...

I agree. china's decision to house its population in high raises is not rooted in necessity. its a choice with its own benefits and what not. anyway who knows they may change again - china is wealthy enough,

if you trust yourself to a career in corporate then you must satisfy the antics of managers.
