I'm from the US and Tucker is a dickhead moron. he has zero morals or ethics and often says things just to get views. I agree the Fed government has largely abandoned the people and only want to fund the military industrial complex. For example, when MA transit authority repaves streets, it takes forever. The first step is grinding up the old tarmac and prepare it to be repaved. they will take a week or more to do step 1 and then wait for months before repaving it. The men and women doing the repaving work hard, but the management is just a total cluster. The US is over run by pointless bureaucrats. I'm positive we could do with less paperwork BS. If the fed government were to move 10 billion from military budget to infrastructure things like replacing old lead water pipes would be much faster.

I doubt it, in order for a revolution, Americans must be smart, analytical, observant, well read, well travelled, able to question their govt. Most are none of the above, so no chance. Americans are easily persuaded to go to wars fighting for freedoms and democracy, thousands of miles away, not once but >90% of their entire existence!

What a spectacular bookshop! Many such bookshops with a pleasant atmosphere here in the UK have suffered the demise of the retail apocalypse (especially facing the onslaught of competition from digital media) - and in truth, it’s hard to imagine the long term commercial viability of that shop there in China given the lacklustre footfall evidenced in the video. Perhaps there are special considerations made under the Chinese system to financially support culturally important enterprises even if their turnover cannot meet the presumably expensive rent for such a beautiful shop location? Tucker Carlson is like an overgrown kid sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I do actually like him, but he gets all giggly and excited about silly things that seem new and innovative to him - for example, shopping trolleys in Moscow supermarkets, which require a coin deposit to unlock them as if that’s something unique and magical. And as for dirty old and tired infrastructure, yes,clearly airports - which do create a first impression of a country - tend to be bright and shiny, modern and clean with lots of lovely glass and steel in countries which have recently built major hubs, - yet look tired and dated in countries with 70+ year old buildings. Heathrow is a good example of a hybrid case. A recently built Terminal and also another newly refurbished one look pretty damn good, but the older ones look like dogshit. China and other recently developed countries have lots of shiny new buildings primarily from the 90s onwards, so of course things may look nicer and newer there. However, entropy will not discriminate in favour of China and it eventually conquers all. (In fact, some might argue that the consequences of excessive corruption engendering ‘tofu dreg’ buildings of poor quality is indicative of an usually rapid form of such decay.)

The Page One bookshop chain was founded by a Singaporean entrepreneur. I used to enjoy visiting the original location in Singapore, which still exists. The fact that there are now branches in China testifies to my geopolitical theory that China is starting to resemble one large Singapore. This should be no surprise though: Deng Xiaoping visited Lee Kuan Yew in 1978 while he was working on a blueprint for his reforms, many of which were modeled upon Singapore. After he returned home, Deng famously said, "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice." - and the rest is history.
