> Democratically elected politicians versus central party that allows no dissent and has complete control over information and actions of its citizens to the point of genocidal assimilation.

You're saying the Chinese government is so powerful and competent that they have complete control over information and actions of over one BILLION people? Wild claims like this one should be substantiated.

Although your name is wildly sinophobic and racist so I doubt there is any evidence you can pull up.

I believe what is being said is that in non-Western/fully isolated nuclear families you have a lot of people and experiences you can rely on. So having a child at a younger age like your mid-20s is not that big of a deal.

the number of software engineers is far below any meaningful voting number.

Markets naturally lead towards monopolies.

The reason people struggle with the idea of 10x programmers is that people are very bad at evaluating the impact of others. Obviously we can all agree on a select few but for those who are just "regular" workers there is often not enough context.

FWIW nowhere I've interviewed at has been that silly w/ questions. Generally they're very personable.

Except FAANG/fintech companies. So I guess you just have to put up with it if you wish to be maximizing income.

Bezoes received at minimum six figures from his family (at a time where six figures was pretty significant). He is middle class.

Also pretending like the barrier of entry into technology _hasn't_ gone up is ignoring the material conditions people face now.

Sure. Rich is anyone who has wealth in excess of 10M. A "fair share" to start with would be at minimum a 1% wealth tax.

Income tax is fairly worthless when it comes to the actually rich.

I believe anon uploads to imgur must be accessed by direct url and are not searchable/findable by accident?

You are assuming that FAANG companies are offering "fair" compensation for the output of their engineers. How would anyone ever make a profit doing that?

Employees are very rarely the exploiters and almost always the exploited.

It is only a "novel" claim in America, where America must be the best of everything.

Fortunately I've done more than five minutes of research on this topic which is why I can see through the propaganda. Your organ claims have been debunked multiple times before (here is one from the WaPo that you will like: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/in-the-fac...) but here are two articles (https://thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/china-detaining-millions-... https://thegrayzone.com/2019/09/30/reports-china-organ-harve...) debunking your others (and come from the West with links to all salient points they make!):

Relevant quotes from the WaPo:

> And lawyers who have defended Falun Gong practitioners also reject allegations that those prisoners’ organs are being harvested.

> “I have never heard of organs being taken from live prisoners,” said Liang Xiaojun, who said he had defended 300 to 400 Falun Gong practitioners in civil cases and knew of only three or four deaths in prison.

>Jose Nuñez, head of the transplantation program at the World Health Organization, which collects information on transplants worldwide, says that in 2015 the number of foreigners going to China for transplants was “really very low,” compared with the traffic to India, Pakistan or the United States, or in comparison with transplant-visitor numbers in China’s past.

> Chapman and Millis say it is “not plausible” that China could be doing many times more transplants than, for instance, the United States, where about 24,000 transplants take place every year, without that information leaking out as it did when China used condemned prisoners’ organs.

I'd highly suggest taking a more critical approach to your media consumption over believing Western propaganda. The West would have you believe the Chinese are infants and cannot see the corruption of their own government. If Americans can see it in their own why can't other people?
