Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Latin America never did fully recover from the unspeakable damage the US has done to it

It's not "has done", it's "has been doing"

It is wildly depressing to see how much it still goes on, we just have more revealed information on how it was done previously, and the ways it's being done now is obscured in as much as it was in the past

latin america has never recovered from what all the colonizers have done to them since long before the US took over the role... they've been fucked over since the first euroshit saw the glint of gold

According to the article:

371 billion yuan (US$52 billion) on science and technology in 2024 — a 10% increase compared with the previous year

This is about a quarter of what the US government spends according to this report from the White House which shows about $200 billion in research dollars across all government agencies, although I'm sure this isn't a perfect comparison.

to think that a huge portion of that budget could've been used to save evergrande bondholders 😢

Musicians, teachers and astronauts are my favorite 3 types of people. Aldo I think we can measure hope for the future in how many kids want to be astronauts when they grow up.

USA: 128% UK: 105% China: 210%

What's interesting to me is that it seems China had a lot more responses with 2 or 3 answers, where UK, in particular had almost no duplicate responses.
