Not even close to the 9-hour workweek.

Hence that remarkable phenomenon in the history of Modern Industry, that machinery sweeps away every moral and natural restriction on the length of the working-day. Hence, too, the economic paradox, that the most powerful instrument for shortening labour-time, becomes the most unfailing means for placing every moment of the labourer’s time and that of his family, at the disposal of the capitalist for the purpose of expanding the value of his capital. “If,” dreamed Aristotle, the greatest thinker of antiquity, “if every tool, when summoned, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it, just as the creations of Daedalus moved of themselves, or the tripods of Hephraestos went of their own accord to their sacred work, if the weavers’ shuttles were to weave of themselves, then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers, or of slaves for the lords.” And Antipatros, a Greek poet of the time of Cicero, hailed the invention of the water-wheel for grinding corn, an invention that is the elementary form of all machinery, as the giver of freedom to female slaves, and the bringer back of the golden age. Oh! those heathens! They understood, as the learned Bastiat, and before him the still wiser MacCulloch have discovered, nothing of Political Economy and Christianity. They did not, for example, comprehend that machinery is the surest means of lengthening the working-day.

You’re not supposed to use your legs for walking. That’s wrong.

The Moon was Made in China™.

Checkmate, westoids.

So then why wouldn’t they admit it?

Do you support the Confederates?

They probably might but people drive their cars with Mexican plates into the US all the time.

Besides capitalism?

Not a book, but as a kid I absolutely loved The Land Before Time.

It’s such a terribly sad and traumatizing movie for a young child.

You can drive it across the border if it has Mexican plates though.

I’ve seen models of cars not sold in the US far from the border with Mexican plates.

I can’t believe that shit is still going. I never watched a single one of them.

But I looked it up and it seems like, at least some, Chinese hybrid SUVs in Mexico converting from current MXN to USD rate go for around $35-40k at their highest, premium tier. Some hybrid SUVs in the US at their bottom tier are currently $50k+. That’s such a wild fucking difference. Thinking about it, you’d probably need an address in Mexico to register it and whatever but I don’t see why or how they’d stop you at the border on the drive back home into the US. Not sure how maintenance or registration would go after that though, so maybe it’s not sustainable unless you have a consistent Mexican address. I hope someone out there gets around the system and drives in their affordable, premium Chinese car in the US. Death to tariffs.

Couldn’t you just buy it in Mexico and drive it over?

And they’ve been bombing and starving Yemen already for years.

Imagine if they just fought Yemen at full capacity. Haha

US Empire is dying.

Not to play into Hexbear stereotypes, but unless there are some dramatic political changes in Ukraine, I’d rather Russia invade Ukraine again in 10 years to be honest.

I wouldn’t trust Nazis with nukes.

I like running Linux on my Lenovo Ideapad. It wasn’t expensive and has everything I want, including easily running Linux.

The only thing is it’s not a popular laptop so it doesn’t have accessories, like cases or whatever.

No one could have predicted this.
