We tried getting rid of environmental regulations, safety standards, labour rights, etc. in America and I'm still waiting for when stuff gets built faster... At least the government can't expropriate property! oh wait... Well at least we still have our rights? oh wait...
I think you call it eminent domain in the US. But I think it can still be challenged in court, but wait a couple months.
Yes, the US is becoming China. You put a guy into power that admires Xi Jinping for the same reason China made Xi President for life: wanted a strongman to run the economy and protect you from evil foreigners. And now you're getting corporate socialism, just like China has.
I know nothing about Chinese economics and society but at least Im not pretending I do because this is what I imagine it sounds like lol
Last I checked, the "Communist" Party of China has more than 80 billionaires with a combined wealth of over $600 Billion.
This doesn't fit the Tankie narrative of China being a socialist paradise so just go on pretending China isn't run by fascist billionaires just because they have a red flag with some yellow symbols on it. Fascists have never called themselves "socialists" to sucker the left into supporting them before, right?
Where's the High Speed Rail?
