It is strategic necessity for China for energy security and for their own environment. Their predominant source of electricity has been coal which they have abundant of but is polluting the air they breathe. Does anyone recall the issues they had at Beijing Olympics? They have insufficient sources of oil and gas domestically. Alternative energy sources are their best domestic source of energy.

This is interesting - the Chinese-backed People’s Liberation Army is now operating in the heartland of Burma - in the upper Burma, the Sagaing region which was the epicenter of the recent earthquake. Since its launch PLA has been operating in mountainous regions of Southern Burma along the borders with Thailand and away from the territories where other Chinese-backed militias operate.

Well the new owners are trying to reduce their tax burden fast.

This was a steal in light of $6bn and $10bn valuations for Celtics and Lakers. The cheap owner tried to back out of the deal but failed.

US is China now.

There are vocational schools for this but there is very little public knowledge about them.

You can make good money in skilled trades which would require some training. Could be weeks, months of training.

False. Median farm family incomes are $97,984 in 2023 while the median family income for the country was $80k. “In 2023, the median U.S. farm household had $1,439,138 in wealth” while the median US family net wealth was $192,000. Farmers on average are far better off than the average American. Note that corporate farm incomes are NOT included in these figures.

Yeah it is. I think the players are just too powerful these days. Can’t say no to them. Maybe this time it’ll stick in players’ heads.

Unfortunate development, as PDFs up to now have been the only militias who are voluntary.

It is…

Ah fuck no… that Haliburton injury doesn’t look good. His calf muscles snapped.

Thank goodness. He did his job extending the series.

Nobody is going to work for slave wages and slavery conditions. Raise wages! Improve working conditions! That’s the point of the whole Trump immigration policies you dumbass!

So let me give you an update. It’s not been the Rohingyas they’ve been murdering. They’ve been murdering everybody else in the last 4 years. The state Rohingyas live in have fallen into the hands of Arakan Army who are comprised primarily of the natives of the state, called Arakans. Ironically, Junta has been attempting to revive Rohingya guerillas, arming Rohingya militants and fighting along side them against Arakan Army in Arakan State.

The dirty and sad truth in Myanmar is all the Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) fighting against the Junta are corrupt authoritarian regimes themselves. Just as bad as the military junta they are fighting, if not worse. The simpletons in international media will paint EAOs as heros fighting against tyranny when in plain sight they are ruled by a few men whose aims are far less noble.

We all knew this election was going to be a farce and now it’s guaranteed.

“The ban was brief, as the vice president’s account was reinstated just minutes later,” the report says. “It does not appear that the vice president’s post ran afoul of any of Bluesky’s community guidelines.”
