‘Choose drugs?’ 30 years after he wrote Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh says life is tougher now
  • Everytime we have a conversation about the matter at hand and you start losing the argument you resort to these kind of replies. Getting predictable.

    But it shows how much you actually know, and what you blindly copypasta from other commies. Thats nice.

  • Chinese Scientists Are Leaving the United States
  • Are these said researchers? Might explain why they are rushing home.

    "The information Zheng stole was related to the design and manufacture of gas and steam turbines, including turbine blades and turbine seals. Considered to be worth millions, it was sent to his accomplice in China. It would ultimately benefit the Chinese government, as well as China-based companies and universities."

  • Maybe you are taking tent “city” too literally, it’s not so much a city as sometimes a small encampment but they exist.

    Not really. In western europe they have emergency housing available for free to homeless people. The document you linked will agree with that. In most western european countries you can use those resources as long as you need to, and get a social worker so you can work towards social housing.

    Again, you wont find homeless in our cities. There are beggars but those arent homeless. You should visit sometime if you dont believe me. Most americans are surprised to see the lack of homeless people in western european countries.

    Living in western europe isnt expensive, with around 3K in income you can live comfortably and enjoy all luxuries. Food is generally cheap, same for utilities. Taxes are heavy on upper middle class.

    There are a lot of expats that do IT and live very comfortable with a normal wage.

    I personally spend around 600 Euro on my mortgage and around 300 total on utilities + health insurance.

    If I can give a couple good spots of how good life can be I recommend visiting luxembourg, belgium or the netherlands.

  • Western Europe. You wont find many, if any homeless person on the street here. There are good support systems in place and people happily take advantage of it.

    Plenty of expats working here as well, shouldnt be to hard to get a working visa.

  • Africa's high-speed railway network is on track

    We were talking about this. I said IMF loans are cheaper than china loans. And you proved me correct so the next best thing was nitpicking my comments? Who cares if a loan directly or indirectly benefits a nation.

    Go grab some tea, revisit your nonsense and write a proper reply. Im not going to do the same thing as last time in which you refused to read the article everyone except you was discussing.

  • It's ok to resist capitalism on an iPhone
  • Thats what a fake communist would say to be honest. Real communists dont use phones made by american companies. You just play make believe if you use a product made by americans. Why not buy a cheap chinese phone? Or a nice fairphone?

    So many options, but you would have to give up your capitalistic luxuries.
