Seems like a lot of risk in the system but where to invest? So I'm buying a farm in Iowa. Prices haven't appreciated very much in 10 years, and the Fed can't print farmland

> This is self inflicted.

Not totally accurate. I have a highly curated twitter made up of finance and tech yet the suggested trends are HORRIBLE. Wonderful topics such as "Nazis", "RacistSoAndSo", "JimCrow", "UncleTom" etc etc etc.

Its a black hole, pile on of hate. I call it the trending two minutes of hate; and its built in with no way of turning it off.

Thank you, This is a great resource! Exactly what I was looking for.

maintenance is one thing. We have an empire, welfare state, huge entitlements and red ink of pension obligations as far as the eye can see. As soon as people fail, they look to the government to bail them out.

They aren't given tax relief. They aren't paying the thief like the rest of us.

> China is working its ass off while we're looting on the street because BLM, or we're fighting for LGBTQ

This is not popular, but thats how I feel. As soon as we work out our social problems, we will realize the world as completely past us by. I'd rather focus on improving our standard of living.

I do not believe this is all Trumps fault. That's too easy an explanation

How did we get in this situation? How did both parties - Democrat and Republican fail us so bad?

It's a total institutional failure.

Usually I just apply directly to teams or people I wanna work with - just having fun here

Done and thanks!

I don't need money or a job. and people reach out to me all the time. This is fun, because maybe just maybe someone has a better opportunity.

If you don't have something nice don't say it at all.

Got it. Sorry about that.

this is darkeness

I may be more sensitive to surveillance than others. I work in Tech, and I was fascinated by the sheer number of sheer number of Hikvision facial recognition cameras I saw.

Here is a picture of one set of cameras around the mosque, which did not seem normal to us. My cousin pointed it out and we laughed at the blatant violation of privacy we saw - saying they don't even hide the fact they are watching https://imgur.com/a/8WbFxBi

and I'm not sure its fair to say I stayed in tourist areas, I was an hour and a half outside of town, and we ventured into poor areas of SH.

I went to SH and Beijing. what year did you go? Things may be different now, or under Xi. My Grandparents went in the 80s, and Beijing was made up of dirt roads.

Goalpost? What is your goal? I was sharing my personal experience in traveling to China - being in a society with no notion of Human Rights, because someone asked.

Is your goal to argue? I don't get it.

Do the police show up if you don’t register in Other countries they do in China.

* "Security Check" - Airport style security everywhere even on the subway.

* Cartoons - Authoritarianism was wrapped up and packaged with cute police cartoons https://www.google.com/search?q=china+police+cartoon&sxsrf=A...

* The Red Armbands - Communist party volunteers, in the subway, and in the community keeping watch https://bitterwinter.org/red-armbands-are-watching-you/

* Passport check at sensitive locations and to buy a train ticket. To get into Tiananmen Square I needed a passport, I was denied entry to my train and separated from my group because the passport number didn't match my ticket

* Police everywhere. Literally everywhere

* I saw a a mosque surrounded by security cameras. They didn't even hide its surveillance.

* I was watched everywhere, except the great wall - but I was told cameras are being constructed there too. The feeling I had was like being in the forest of District 12 of the Hunger Games, I felt free there.

* Signs in the Hotel warn you that you DO NOT have a right to privacy, and you must register your passport or state ID

I still have to write a blog post, so I'll try to follow up when I do

China has a different, competing development model than us.

Just traveled to China and to my surprise it was more Orwellian than I anticipated. Despite all of our problems in the US, I'm still proud to live in a Democracy and a free society.

I took down my outdoor security camera after the trip.

downvoted again. lol. This place is not tolerant of non-left wing view points.

When considering additional regulations, the weight of biased political workers should have zero weight. Advocacy is most often a defensive action against business killing overreach.

As someone that works for a living for a YC company. I want my company to advocate for itself

The Libertarian perspective on healthcare is that it is the most regulated portion of the economy, so if other areas of the economy become as regulated, their prices would go up. We see this in Bay Area housing markets.

I want to note you asked for an honest answer of my perspective and this was down-voted.
