In this interview with Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, America’s moral and strategic bankruptcy is put on full display. For over 30 years, US corporations pillaged their own country, shipping jobs and industry overseas while stuffing themselves with profits so grotesque they eclipse the combined wealth of China’s four largest banks.

An astonishing $14.2 trillion was torched on 13 senseless wars,wars that achieved nothing except enriching defense contractors and geopolitical parasites,while the rest of the loot was shoveled straight into Wall Street’s bottomless maw. Roads rot, bridges fail, cities decay, and working people are abandoned to scrape by in an economy rigged against them.

What remains is not a superpower, but a hollowed-out carcass: a nation addicted to greed, governed by incompetence, and utterly indifferent to its own collapse.

America didn’t fall,it sold itself off piece by piece, and now stands as a cautionary monument to unchecked profit worship.

and then they cry about "why isn't anyone having kids??" 

 

we don't want to bring a soul into this effed up realm where they are being poisoned on all levels; physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. 

 

If they want more kids they have to make it a good place for them.

Where's the link to the interview?

Also, Jack Ma is absolutely NOT a reliable source. He made the mistake of making too much money from Alibaba, being too "out there" for the Chinese government, and made the critical error of criticizing them, He then disappeared for a while and when he resurfaced he was a loyal party man and most of his wealth confiscated.

Hardly a voice worthy of listening too.

The world has turned upside down. Hell, even Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and MTG have been making some good points recently.

I know nothing about Jack Ma or his history. This statement is spot on though. Feel free though to refute anything if you disagree with it.

I'm not saying I refute it, I'm saying that Jack Ma is now a mouthpiece for the CCP after being disappeared for a while, and nothing he says can be trusted.

And again, please provide a link to the interview.

The low birth rate among white western countries is deeply concerning. Here in Australia we need to bring in foreign workers to fill the void and from what I read it's a global issue.

The days of dad working and mum bringing up the kids are long gone. The modern system has long killed that idea.

That's a resonable request. I'll track down the link. I deliberately cut/pasted as Twitter posts sometimes go missing.

I'm not disputing what you state about Ma, I personally don't follow it but absolutely take you at your word about him.

This is the tweet. It only shows under two minutes of the Ma statement. There must be more but I'm not going to look for it. It looks like the reposter of the video has added his interpretation to it.

Either way the original points are factual.

Thanks for posting that, it enabled me to identify the source, an interview with him in 2017 at the WEF, link below.

This was before his disappearance in 2020, so before he was brought to heel by the CCP, so is probably his honest opinion.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS
