I knew my daughter wanted to move somewhere else when she's older. But I never thought I'd be having a conversation about which country. She's going for medical and has YEARS of school ahead of her. I can't relate to Tiktok, but I can't help but encourage her to go see this big beautiful mudball if she can.
School is really cheap in China, just saying. No joke, they are trying to encourage more foreign students to enroll. I toured a school in Qingdao when considering grad school, but decided against it.
I am very very skeptical this ceasefire will go anywhere, specially in the long run. Let's not forget, Israel is in breach of international law, by invading Palestinian territory for more than 50 years now, and neither side is getting what they want.

So I looked it up for her and it was 34¢ to 64¢ an egg for large eggs (they break down the per unit price of products). Her jaw hit the floor. I knew the price of eggs went up but apparently its allot worse in places in the US.

Firstly, you can just use a VPN and the app will work fine. You’ll keep getting recent updates and be able to use it like before. Second, that guy talking about how cheap corn is in China isn’t realizing that it’s that cheap because the cost of living is DRASTICALLY different. There aren’t any unions or a basic living wage. $1 there is the equivalent of $7 in the states.
@@lowspeeddata I have visited Monks Mound (near Collinsville, Illinois).

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of The Press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Yeah that applies to the people of our country. Tik-toc is not part of our country they are backed by a very hostile enemy that doesn’t even allow them in their own country. They don’t get to use our freedom to try to influence and destroy our democracy.
Article 1 section 8 of the US Constitution: "The Congress shall have power... To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes". Face-to-face discourse with one another is the best way to balance social progress with unity. At no other point in human history has free speech been conducted via screens and comments sections, closest equivalent could be fliers or posters. Just my point of view.
@MrBrock314 Problematic in what way? Data harvesting? It's suspicious that you don't mention that American apps do the same thing, and it's weird you seem to be OK with that.
It's not about the data, it's about the algorithms. The one 'for Americans' intentionally promotes controversy and hostility in order to maximize 'engagement'. The other 'for Chinese' is designed to follow the guidelines of the dominant political party and all the associated propaganda which that entails. You can connect the dots for yourself.
Everything Donald Trump says has a kind of a wind chill factor about it - 36 points, 34 points, -11 points... It just depends on how much hot air he's circulating. or which way the political wind is blowing.
Look up CATL. They make the best ev batteries. They're better in every way. Chinese electric cars would wipe out all domestic car makers here, which is why the US won't let them in
Why is it so expensive here? Taxpayers subsidize corn production, they produce so much that the excess is turned into the useless ethanol… But we're paying seven dollars for it here?
China is a farming country for thousands of years. All vegetables are pretty cheap there. Some foreign fruits, however, can be very expensive. It's not just about the cheap labour. It's mainly about supply and demand when it comes to the food market.
@@PaulRWorthington You could also argue that everything is much cheaper in countries like Thailand. Also every country has different labor practices and tax laws. China does have a more robust and competitive work force especially with electric car manufacturing and its one of the main reasons the next administration wants to tax those cars and other imports. The war on China is through policy and not military at our expense. ''We'' are so afraid of China we made several shipping depots dismantle the ''Chinese'' cranes to take out the modems and replace them (honestly I have no idea what the end result was after), cold war level stuff.
I hate Trump, and I'd rather Trump own it. Do not talk about something you know NOTHING about, I've personally witnessed what Xi has done to my chinese dissident friends and their families. The amount of cruelty and horror that Xi is capable of is beyond compare.. Do not be so naive. The blood of people I love is on his hands.

I knew my daughter wanted to move somewhere else when she's older. But I never thought I'd be having a conversation about which country. She's going for medical and has YEARS of school ahead of her. I can't relate to Tiktok, but I can't help but encourage her to go see this big beautiful mudball if she can.
School is really cheap in China, just saying. No joke, they are trying to encourage more foreign students to enroll. I toured a school in Qingdao when considering grad school, but decided against it.

The fact the ceasefire didn’t get a round of applause is proof of how much America largely looks inward. This is the best news in years.
I am very very skeptical this ceasefire will go anywhere, specially in the long run. Let's not forget, Israel is in breach of international law, by invading Palestinian territory for more than 50 years now, and neither side is getting what they want.
Don't expect any ceasefire to continue. Trump supports Netanyahu's war even more than Biden does.
That is true...but in this case could also mean cautious skepticism
Idk I cried when I heard. Im happy it’s happening but devastated that it took this long.
I don't trust it to last.
I love how MrBeast buying Tiktok somehow sounds appealing because NO ONE wants Zuck or Elon to touch the app.
At least with Garfield* owning Tiktak there's a non-zero percent chance that some random user would make some money.
* MrBeast = Beast Boy = Garfield from Teen Titans
Mrbeast? Dam you kids😂
Of those figures, he's the least controversial at this point. He may be incompetent or ill-prepared for his power level but that's better than being purposely malicious with it like Musk or Zuckerberg or Mnuchin.
Yeah put a rich, kid poisioning, paedo-hiring half a billionaire in charge.
That's literally just as bad as having Musk or Zuck in charge 😅

Wow, Klepper, you really took one for the team on the RBG bit. That crowd was salty! Too soon, my man, too soon. RIP, RBG.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your President."
That reminds me of when I was on Bluesky and I, a Canadian, was watching a Canadian Creator go to the Grocery Store and she was talking about the Grocery Store she was going into which was a Loblaws Superstore. In the comments I saw this woman repeat about how big the store was but what the price was for eggs. So I looked it up for her and it was 34¢ to 64¢ an egg for large eggs (they break down the per unit price of products). Her jaw hit the floor. I knew the price of eggs went up but apparently its allot worse in places in the US.
But that’s a price per metric egg, right?
It’s a domino effect… even the music industry will be severely affected
I wish there was more time spent on the ceasefire but I can understand why there wasn't.
I don't really understand it, honestly... unless no one expects it to last or that it is real.

“Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts” Mitt Romney saying the quiet part out loud.
Yes, while the Palestinian issues are highlighted on Tiktok - they're not the only ones. Chinese national interest ideas also prevail there more than other locations.

The US government has compromised more of my personal information than any app has - my SF86 security clearance application was stolen by China along with everyone else's because of lax security at the OMB. So I'm just a *little* skeptical about their supposed concern for my privacy.
My info got leaked because of the OPM hack awhile ago. Then there's the FCC not really doing anything effective about all the corporate/private data breaches leaking eeeeveryone's info to the world. Yeah, but it's about US citizen's data security.
@@n1vg it’s not an issue of privacy (primarily). Like you said: that’s already gone because China is stealing it from other sources too. It’s about the CCP weaponizing mis- and disinformation via TikTok.

Firstly, you can just use a VPN and the app will work fine. You’ll keep getting recent updates and be able to use it like before. Second, that guy talking about how cheap corn is in China isn’t realizing that it’s that cheap because the cost of living is DRASTICALLY different. There aren’t any unions or a basic living wage. $1 there is the equivalent of $7 in the states.
They have high speed rail, better infrastructure and housing. So….
@@staticcouch135 they live in CCP big-brother reality
corn is under a buck in the EU
@@lowspeeddata I have visited Monks Mound (near Collinsville, Illinois). It is there that you learn that the civilization that lived around that region depended on mostly corn and were wiped out during a time of hardship for that crop. Having a single--point-of-failure like that connected to food -- just as we have with Diesel fuel -- is bad.

that's why they want an American to buy it. So they can apply the Constitutional rights.
Yeah that applies to the people of our country. Tik-toc is not part of our country they are backed by a very hostile enemy that doesn’t even allow them in their own country. They don’t get to use our freedom to try to influence and destroy our democracy.
Article 1 section 8 of the US Constitution: "The Congress shall have power... To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes". Face-to-face discourse with one another is the best way to balance social progress with unity. At no other point in human history has free speech been conducted via screens and comments sections, closest equivalent could be fliers or posters. Just my point of view.
@ConnerOfRS this point of view can be used to say the second ammendment doesn't apply to modern guns.

It's weird that when warned you're on an app that has suspicious issues with China, you'd move to one that's just openly problematic.
@MrBrock314 Problematic in what way? Data harvesting? It's suspicious that you don't mention that American apps do the same thing, and it's weird you seem to be OK with that.
It's not about the data, it's about the algorithms. The one 'for Americans' intentionally promotes controversy and hostility in order to maximize 'engagement'. The other 'for Chinese' is designed to follow the guidelines of the dominant political party and all the associated propaganda which that entails. You can connect the dots for yourself.
@@slothachunk Yeah, the American ones do it for money reasons. CCP apps do it for espionage, blackmail, and power reasons. Why are you like this.
Everything Donald Trump says has a kind of a wind chill factor about it - 36 points, 34 points, -11 points... It just depends on how much hot air he's circulating. or which way the political wind is blowing.

Everyone always says 'Corn is is cheap there' but nobody asks *Why is the corn cheap there?*
Steven He’s dad. huge face of Beijing Corn
Why is it so expensive here? Taxpayers subsidize corn production, they produce so much that the excess is turned into the useless ethanol… But we're paying seven dollars for it here?
China is a farming country for thousands of years. All vegetables are pretty cheap there. Some foreign fruits, however, can be very expensive. It's not just about the cheap labour. It's mainly about supply and demand when it comes to the food market.
@@PaulRWorthington You could also argue that everything is much cheaper in countries like Thailand. Also every country has different labor practices and tax laws. China does have a more robust and competitive work force especially with electric car manufacturing and its one of the main reasons the next administration wants to tax those cars and other imports. The war on China is through policy and not military at our expense. ''We'' are so afraid of China we made several shipping depots dismantle the ''Chinese'' cranes to take out the modems and replace them (honestly I have no idea what the end result was after), cold war level stuff.
