Monetize sovereignty.

Aktually, for most Internet services in China today, one already needs a phone number to create an account, which is linked back to the national ID. So, there isn’t any anonymity to begin with.

But have you factored in the chance of US intervention?

Side note, Muji 無印 literally means “no brand”.

Students, I’m a total baka hentai amirite?

Guys??

You mean they spend zero time on showmanship training and thus twirling rifles serves a practical and essential combat purpose?

Zen master says: the real issue resolution is within yourself.

1. Six
2. Well, I think it’s 10:18 would you look at the watch. Wait, OMG, what if it isn’t?

Referenced by my favorite Philip K Dick novel VALIS, the symbol of early Christianity: Fish cannot carry guns.

That documentation sounds like marriage.

Or you can just simply slap your face. It has a similar sound effect.

It’s all right. Deep down, we are all animals.

Lots of animals unironically do this.

Microsoft employee: do you want to give me a raise?

Yes

Remind me later

Tsunami つなみ 津波 is composed of

• tsu つ 津, wharf, a place to park boats
• nami なみ 波, tide, wave

So it’s high waves from a wharf. It’s not a tide since having a tsunami every month would be devastating…

That was my first reaction. I didn’t find the global average spending number reported by the OP, but according to this page, the 2019 average spending of $15,500 per student (38% higher than OECD average) did consider purchasing power.

According to the UK’s Labour Party’s report on worker co-operatives in 2017, the main difficulty is access to credit (capital). It makes sense since the model basically eliminates “outside investors”. It has to

1. Bootstrap with worker’s own investment, or
2. Get investment from credit unions, or
3. Have (national or local) government to back it up

Even in the above cases, the credit is often not large or cheap enough for the cooperatives to be competitive. (There are examples in the report that serve as exceptions, I highly recommend giving it a read.)

So at least from this, I’d think the appropriation of means of production would be more fundamental rather than being a simple result of some special way of organizing.
