  • So is the quality of the schooling different? Do public schools have better education overall? Is it so competitive because of the cheaper cost and better funding? Trying to understand how it all works. Kind of sounds like it’s pressuring lower income students to have to prove themselves to get the cheaper (cost wise) schooling whereas the more wealthy can pay their way through the private schooling sector. And that sounds like the west only instead of fighting to get a grant into a high end private school they are fighting to get into a cheaper costing public school. Which in the end, both cases sound like it’s about paying less for an education.


  • The literal answer is socialism. Stress for demands from school, work, etc are massively minimized when you know you will be safe if something happens. When you have people and community that wants your success as a person. That’s the kind of thing China works towards. Japan and SK have similarly stressful school expectations and stuff but the capitalist society isolates them. Imagine the stress of losing your job in a society where you have safety nets to helps you recover, vs one where it means your life may be over? Same with school. Schools in China may be competitive but they actively want people to succeed and provide for your needs for schooling much more than the other two. Where school is also a competition but there is no real active push by your community to help you succeed. If you fall behind it’s more ridicule than wanting to help you.


  • Apart and you have two competing car manufacturers that are both having to scale down and are hurting more financially. Together you may essentially destroy one but you make the other stronger, at least for a time. “Divided we fall” and all that. I see the failure of the deal as a win for China. Because instead of one stronger company to compete with, there’s two weaker ones that also have to compete with each other.



  • I am surprised the first response I got was not an attack. The pro pit propaganda runs hard and encouraged pretty rabbid harassment. I don’t blame people that don’t know for defending pits. It’s the ones that argue in bad faith and ignore obvious data that are the problem. There’s a reason why pits, and only pits, need to be defended so aggressively. All it takes is just googling reports of actual dog attacks to see almost all of the reports involved a pit or pit mix. Hell all you have to do is Google pictures of pitbulls vs porcupines and then compare those to literally any other dog breed vs porcupines. Normal dogs take a hit and get deterred out of their natural survival and pain avoidance instincts. Pits just maul them harder till they all but kill themselves. That’s what happens when you breed some poor animal to fight to the death against other animals. It’s tragic what we have bred into these dogs and even more tragic that instead of taking responsibility for it and at least attempting to breed it out and/or restrict breeding, we double down and make more and more lies about them that get innocent people maimed and killed. Then when people try to point all this out they get harassed to no end.
