No, liberal capitalist societies will not reduce work hours, increase safety nets, do UBI, or competently handle massive unemployment.

You may want to look at the Netherlands, the Nordic countries, and Canada.

The folks impacted by the layoffs will receive a severance package that includes at least four months of base pay, with more based on tenure. We’re also extending Epic-paid healthcare coverage.

For example, in the U.S., they’ll receive paid coverage for 6 months. We’ll also accelerate their stock options vesting through January 2027 and extend equity exercise options for up to two years.

Despite feeling deeply for Iranians living under this oppressive regime and in the aftermath of the protests, I can’t help but think about how current media coverage of Iran compares to the way major outlets amplified questionable claims in the lead-up to the Iraq War in 2003.

I've also been experiencing issues with the Authenticator app and Outlook, and it seems many others online are facing similar problems [0][1].

It's genuinely disappointing that using the Microsoft Authenticator app is a mandatory requirement for work, especially since they introduced the tap the correct number thing.

Ah, living up to the Turkish rep for being super nationalistic and defensive, I see. Also, seems like GPT or similar did a major overhaul on this comment.

Your source is literally stating the opposite:

This policy has been alleged by the U.S. Government to be a form of debt-trap diplomacy; however, the term itself has come under scrutiny as analysts and researchers have pointed out that there is no evidence to prove that China is deliberately aiming to do debt-trap diplomacy.

Research from Deborah Brautigam, an international political economy professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Meg Rithmire, an associate professor at Harvard Business School, have disputed the allegations of debt-trap diplomacy by China and pointed out that "Chinese banks are willing to restructure the terms of existing loans and have never actually seized an asset from any country, much less the port of Hambantota".

Academic Jeremy Garlick concludes that there is no reason to believe the BRI framework is worse for developing countries' debt than Western lending frameworks.

Over the last few years on HN, I've observed an increase in posts expressing a negative bias towards China. These posts consistently echo similar concerns with every distressing news about Evergrande or China. Occasionally, these accounts intentionally flout guidelines by using their profile for ideological battles [1].

Admittedly, I could have framed the question more politely about the origins of his aversion.

No I'm not. I'm just asking if you have first-hand experience with the Chinese regime or if your aversion comes from somewhere else.

You indiscriminately share links from the internet, including sinophobic YouTube videos, to reinforce your arguments. However, when presented with a counterargument supported by similar sources such as the IMF or other news outlets, you dismiss it as CCP lies.
