I’m scared that this policy will threaten Malaysian workers since US is the biggest buyer of Malaysia’s E&E products :/ official source.

Notable export growth underpinned by record-high shipments to traditional trading partners, namely ASEAN, the United States (US), Taiwan and the European Union (EU), reflecting Malaysia’s strong integration into high-value, technology-driven global supply chains. This performance was achieved despite rising global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions, supply chain realignments and rising risks of protectionism. Exports to the People’s Republic of China (China), however, expanded at a more moderate pace.

That’s why there are some capitalists hate crony capitalism.

That’s what I’d really love to hear, a real opinion rather than personal attack <3

Can we just talk about the article rather than attacking the publisher? I’m interested in your thoughts on the actual points made.

We got cheaper cigs but living is more sucks here :D

Not a big fan but from the 2019 and 2021 albums compared to the recent releases, he sounds so different!

Gonna to teach my kid to say doas instead.

Idk 😂

Personally, I think the scoring system itself is fine. It only becomes an issue when the ecosystem turns into an echo chamber where people blindly downvote opposing arguments without providing a reason.

Most clients will hide down voted posts or comments if they reach certain number, CMIIW. I don’t really care about the down vote counts but when people just blindly down vote without any reason, I can assume people that downvoted me here are not really that open to discussions and only want to hear what they wanted to hear and shows a lack of understanding.

It’s acceptable and understandable for me since this is Fediverse where most people are left-leaning and I was a heavy leftist until I deep dived economics and how the left economic system is unrealistic in my personal view.

I posted something on !libertarianism@lemmy.world and got downvoted by many whilst I always upvote my opposition so the discussion doesn’t get buried. Lmao.

What about we have more people like you, like me, like us that get away from big shitty corpo like Reddit and move to Fedi in mass? That’s how a real free market works: if you don’t like it, you leave/boycott.

The same principle applies to any aspect of society based on the market. The real ‘ambition of the powerful’ is usually fueled by State granted monopolies and regulatory capture where big corps use the law to kill small competitors.

Limiting their power shouldn’t mean giving the State more control (which they eventually buy anyway), but rather decentralizing our choices. If we have the freedom to exit and build alternatives, their ‘power’ evaporates because it lacks our voluntary consent.

I think we’re just starting from fundamentally different axioms. I lean toward a KISS approach to economics, whereas you’re prioritizing state-managed velocity. We’ll have to agree to disagree.

That’s exactly what I find so unfortunate. Most people assume ‘free markets’ automatically mean the system we have now: crony capitalism. It seems like people here have a deep-seated hatred for free markets, but just to be clear, saying this doesn’t make me an AnCap.

If I work 8 hours, I have traded a piece of my finite life for that value, that is my toil and trouble. When we’re talking about money, it doesn’t have to be always fiat money provided from the State, money is historically a market-chosen commodity (gold, silver, or even cryptocurrency) that exists independently of the State but it’s just a matter of the people what kind of money they choose and how do they spend them.

I can agree on this, the Epstein files is one of many factors that caused the attack of Iran but the tension between Iran and US is already going on for years.

Iran’s tensions with US have been going on for a long time, many have predicted this based on the dynamics of the Middle East. We all just waiting for the time bomb to explode and it happened.

It’s already planned by the 1% of the 1%

Hi new, I’m dad
