  • I think the issue is less the existence of gambling sites, and more the fact that underage gamers are often the target of the sites. An age verification for trading would be the easiest, but Valve has taken a hard stance against collecting identification for any reason. The age verification could come from the websites but that seems very unlikely since the websites are often illegal. If enough countries (especially America) legalized online gambling but required ID verification, the sites may be more likely to implement it, but that is so far of a scenario there really is no prediction.











  • China isn’t rehabilitating a criminal into a person, they turn a possible political opponent into an obediant resident, while also using them as slave labor in the camps. China and the US are doing the same thing but calling them something different.

    China is a paper tiger economy built upon slave labor, fast consumerism, and environmental destruction. If and when such cultural habits change the consumer economy will collapse, and that’s with believing the fake numbers the Chinese government releases. Along with population decline and the top heavy population caused by the one child policy, the economy will stagnate even further.

    China is 15-20 years behind on the technology curve for domestic research and production. Their current technology base is literally copied from the rest of the world.

    Politically, massive degradation of rights and freedoms for citizens, civil rights violations against minorities, the religious, and the political opposition. They have actual concentration camps, not just detainment centers in the US people bring up.

    China has one leg up on the US with a comprehensive health coverage… if you avoid being a forced organ donor for the elite.
