Pretty good #financial #breakdown by #laurensouthern about how the current #economy in #canada means that nobody can #afford to even #live based on the #government 's numbers: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dUoJydVaF4E The #situation is similar in the #uk too. I'm not sure I can #survive on anything less than 50k #pounds a year, and the #fulltime #pay at my current #workplace is less than that. Where does that leave us?
So #china is now rattling off about #taiwan again: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. The problem is the #west cannot #afford to #fight #russia and #china at the same time. I think they realise this and may seize the #opportunity ... Problem is, #china 's #ccp are ill #prepared to take #advantage of the current #geopolitics - they would need a #force of something like 1 million #soldiers to take #taiwan .
