They have collected legitimate reports from e.g. the news.

It's no less legitimate than a bunch of links on a Wikipedia page. Don't be lazy and dismiss this because you don't like the political leaning of zerohedge.

But we're just going to believe everything out of China without a second thought right now?

Everything in that link, all the suspicious relationships, all the published research (arrested smugglers have published on coronavirus very recently) is verifiable. Don't be lazy.

How the hell is this anything comparable to blackface?

You are a plain fool if you don't understand that the CCP literally sets the narrative out of China, imposed with force. Tow the line or, at best, lose social credit points, at worst enjoy your permanent stay at gulag.

The Soviet Union only collapsed some 30 years ago. The CCCP was literally the model that the CCP is based on. Don't be naive.

There is legitimate evidence of Canadian researchers working on coronaviruses in bats smuggling something to the Wuhan lab. Arrests were made a month before people across the world were taking the virus seriously.

Also the lab in Wuhan has leaked at least one SARS strain in the past.

>They're no more responsible for the virus

Do you understand the conditions of the ubiquitous meat markets in China? Do you realize how easy it is for pathogens to spread when you stack wild animals in cages on top of each other, torture and butcher literally everything, wild animals off the street, in open air and on the literal ground?

The reality is that most of China is third world. Sorry, sometimes specific cultural practices are harmful to people and societies.

I don't know that I'd go that far but there is definitely a lot of influence, indirect mostly, and direct for those operating within China of course.

I can't find the % value but the stake that tencent owns in Reddit is a little concerning. That's a lot of propaganda potential.

Unbelievable that people are still not only buying the numbers but downvoting too.

Decades of easy living in the US has made the average native dangerously naive.

China is most likely going through a second wave of the infection either now or soon, as people return to work out of necessity to prevent supply shortages and food insecurity. Notice how they've totally locked everything down online - the internet was awash with leaked videos and tweets from people inside of china - but the government has clamped down on these dissenters hard enough to discourage the rest, apparently.

The CCP lies to save face. Its existence is predicated upon the fear and/or respect of the people it controls. It is not a free society.

Does that mean 25-50% are severe? Is this a bimodal distribution?

Billionaires skim like .5-2% in margins off the top of the companies and relationships they build. People get paid throughout. This is nonsense.

The fact that covid is screwing the world right now does not mean that we should all be getting UBI under non emergency conditions. Putting Romney's plan in with Yang's is a conflation here because one is only for a single unprecedented global emergency, not everyday life.

That said, UBI is quite literal wealth redistribution. You take taxes from the haves and give the cash directly to the hands of the have nots. There's a point where it becomes unethical and/or counterproductive...but where that point is perhaps remains to be seen.

I don't meet anyone going staying home and going to the store once a week in a mask. That's what we'll all be doing soon.

Well, those who are willing to comply.
