Assuming insurance covers it. And you only have a 60% chance of having it covered.

Median monthly income in China according to most sources I can find is just 1300-1400 USD. Still, 82 USD for that income is not expensive, and that’s for higher end private medical care outside the main healthcare system.

It’d be like an American paying for medical care with a weeks groceries.

Yes, you know the dozen billionaires that will be in the executive branching in 3 days, or the hundred or so billionaires that completely control the US government?

Everyone that moved to rednote absolutely knows their data was scrapped by Tiktok, including contacts and general behavior on their phone.

We’re 30 years past that mattering. Everyone corporations and thus every government with money knows what you masturbate to and what makes you laugh. They all know where you work and what your net worth is. If they don’t it takes less than a dollar to find out through your advertising id report.

None of the major data brokers refuse to sell to specific governments.

Both parties have attempted in gain a partisan majority in scotus, one succeeded, and now Republicans have succeeded.

Three of the accomplishments in that selection were struck down before going into effect, the antitrust doj actions are nice and all, but don’t actually fix anything or defend the working class – mainly because the effect the admin desired, price reduction and wage increases, didn’t happen. Inflation corrected wages are lower now than in 2020, and food prices never stabilized.

That’s a hell of a gpt response and all, but no, state capitalism isn’t a thing and left wing thought has evolved in the last nearly 200 years. Except in the US.

State capitalism isn’t a thing.

It’s valuable, it’s not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn’t have the user share to demand the service be sold off.

When was the last time the Dems did?

He’s not wrong. There’s a reason all tech billionaires switched to the Republican party when it became clear their dem donations wouldn’t help them any more.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?

Fascism, according to Mussolini, is the combination of state and corporate power, the final stage of capitalism.

That’s, fine, it’s your choice to not use services.

That has nothing to do with anyone else. Simply don’t use the internet.

What is China going to do?

Hell with China’s track record, it’s better that China has it than the US government if you’re in the US.

No, it’s been that way for longer than you’ve been alive, unless you’re in you’re 90s.

Id love to leave it back there, except everyone on .world is celebrating the Tiktok ban because ‘those sneaky Chinese were stealing their data’. Half of .world believes China is a dictatorship with xi being a king. This level of propaganda didn’t end in the 1950s.

No, governments can be great. Fantastic even. Not fascist governments.

The United States, having just elected capital to have exclusive state power, is fascist.

Note:don’t do this if you’re a minority compared to your cities population
