My biggest problem with the “Waffle House Index” is that Waffle House shouldn’t be able to make these fucking decisions.

For a Waffle House to be open that requires staff be there, and it’s not like that staff magically teleports north when their shift is over. If Waffle House closes at the last possible second how are you, the Waffle House employee, supposed to evacuate?

They should be forcibly shut down by the state long before they themselves are deciding to.

“We’re reclaiming our real ancestral lands. Bavaria.”

I’ll be honest it took me a minute to figure out what they could’ve meant aside from this

That fully reads as “Xi Jinping says Marxism because you’re too stupid to understand dialectical materialism”

Not Jordan, Syria. The US keeps saying Jordan but it was at the Al Tanf base in Syria (where US troops should not be under US law, let alone international law)

Full uncritical support to Hamas in their fight against occupation

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that

I genuinely don’t know how to solve this until the boomers all fucking die. Which is clearly not a great solution to boomer homelessness.

“Group specifically responsible for creating this problem who will fight to the death to prevent solving the problem increasingly at risk from it”

The same is not true of implementations of communism. Socialist states at their best implement systems that encourage the natural human drives for cooperation and compassion, and in the two largest cases, China and the Soviet Union, it led to the fastest gains in quality of life in history

Capitalism only works on paper, it doesn’t take human nature into account

This is the one time where actually, but at what cost?

I fully believe China is the largest force for good in the world right now, so please don’t take this as bad faith. But they have a similar issue as several other nearby countries of school work being insane and far too competitive. They had to shut down private tutoring because nearly 90% of students were paying for private tutors because it was necessary to stay competitive.

To get into college you have to to take an exam that I personally believe the inventors of should be executed for child abuse. It’s 9 hours over 2 days, with security so tight you’d think it was a nuclear weapons facility. Kids work themselves to death studying in the months leading up to it. It’s unhinged and cruel, and personally I don’t even believe that colleges should have entrance exams, if you want to take college classes you should simply register for free, end of story.

Honestly, kids shouldn’t even have to study much at all outside of school. Teach the material properly in school, don’t expect students to miss out on their personal lives in order to keep up. It makes sense in college when you’re only in class like 15 hours a week at most, but high schoolers are in school 35+ hours a week, and you expect them to spend hours outside of school too? That’s insane.

Also to be clear this has nothing to do with socialism, as the other two best examples of this horrible overworking of students are Japan and Fake Korea

However, some US politicians are busy taking the case personally, believing the patrol is targeting the US.

Well that’s a silly point, this definitely was targeting the US, it’s just a valid and necessary target and actually followed the law unlike the US does.
