because you believe that everything china does is a lie or is a scam somehow even though all of that is true about your own country.

honestly just thinking about it, megachurches and fucking mlms are fucking legitimate things to do here and we're pointing fingers at china for being sneaky and corrupt

~~even though~~ because

If you think we got it bad just look at the conditions other countries live in. It must be because their liars and scammers in government are even worse. That was how I used to view these things anyway.

  • Fake jobs
  • fake hiring process
  • HSR in California is vaporware thanks to NIMBYism
  • fake high property values
  • fake value of college degrees
