Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns

  China is the only country that prosecutes wealthy criminals.

  Unfortunately they also lockup anyone they just kind of don’t like for any arbitrary reason.

      Oh I agree, the US has taken a giant step toward the exact same fascist approach to government in the last few years

        Uh. Friend. I hate to tell you this, but the US imprisons more people per capital than the Soviet GULAG system at its height. China has never imprisoned people at the rate the USA has. Even in the last 18 months, where the USA dropped out of the top slot in the world, it lost to Cuba who recently had a huge uptick in incarceration due to the US’s most recent attempts at recruiting dissidents. And the USA is only slightly better than Cuba on this number. And Cuban prisons are like, fully integrated into communities and don’t rely on torture and don’t have gang violence and don’t charge prisoners hundreds of dollars a day and don’t use them as slave labor the way the US does.

        No. On this particular issue of locking up whomever they want for whatever reason and abusing them and letting them die and massive recidivism and a parole population that is under 24/7 surveillance that is something like 2x larger than the prison population - on this topic, the US is not somehow sliding towards being problematic. It has been this way for a century. The US is a brutal brutal regime to its own people.

    I was pointing out a difference in the way America does things. If I started listing things both have in common, the list would literally never end

      Nor does China suffer the same recidivism rates, carceral rates, or parole rates that the US has. Nor does China accrue debt for prisoners tonthe tune of hundreds of dollars a day that they owe when they get out.

  Well, then I hope you guys are ready for a revolution unless you’re fine with a Blade Runner esc hellscape.

    Don’t worry, we won’t get a Blade Runner-esc hellscape.

    Because Blade Runner for a movie had to give us a fascinating world that was interesting that even as a hellscape there was a “Man, it’d be cool to be there.”

    No, our hellscape is going to be more like how fast food restaurants all look the same now, the corporate architecture version of taupe agreed to by committee.
