Lol, read the title of the article, saw that it is in "Uplifting News", was confused for half a second but yep, I'm ok with this.

You are experiencing Schadenfreude

I too had a sensible chuckle. I do feel for the employees who just want to produce cars and innovate. Sure sucks being drowned by your own mother.

The new model Y is out I believe. Britain seemed slow to catch up, urm catching up to fewer sales that is. Apparently they have some very decent incentives over there driving sales. However I think they are now in line with some other countries regarding sales, and that is even with the new model. ( From something I read online )

Slight Woosh but I can see how it happened.

I meant is the new issue of Sensible Chuckle out yet.

Didn’t even realize until you pointed it out. I did feel a bit happy while reading, so that checks out.

Then, I thought about the way America is sinking, and the power vacuum being left behind. Gotta say, I wasn’t quite so uplifted any more now that I remembered that China will be taking that role on the world stage. Maybe 100 years from now people will be watching Chinese movies and using Chinese loan words.

We had a chance at Star Trek, we decided to aim for Firefly instead.

more cyberpunk since we are unlikely to colonize other planets.

I'd say we're deep in Farscape territory right now, heading for Lexx fast.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Farscape, heading towards fallout.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Star Wars is right there...

Maybe 100 years from now people will be watching Chinese movies and using Chinese loan words.

In the West those movies will probably still be in English and mainly from Hollywood. But China will own half the companies making movies there.
Things will change, but somehow they will remain mostly the same.

China is facing a huge demographic crisis in the next 10-15 years, so I don't think so. More likely the EU steps up but the world becomes more multipolar in general.

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Can you please elaborate or explain what you mean by this. As in what are the details, why would his be happening ? Thanks.

One child policy left them with a population bubble that's going to burst. Meaning population will nosedive because the older generations were so much bigger than the newer ones, this means there's not as many grandkids making money for the family, especially since their youth is having a hard time finding good jobs, also, since the youth are unemployed, they're not as likely to come up to speed as fast as if they had been working in their field should an opportunity show up. And with so much of their youth being educated, nobody wants to farm or manufacture anymore. Population bubbles come with EXTREME economic dangers that will require massive policy/societal change at just the right time to navigate through. It's like doing WRC racing in an 80s Porsche 911. I'm sure it CAN be done, but good luck.

However, the US is trying to manufacture this problem with chasing off Latinos. Without immigration, were a nation in decline.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Speaking of immigration, China could mitigate that problem by letting lots of foreigners in. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen though.

[–] Weslee@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

China doesn't have the greatest reputation when it comes to foreigners.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

Exactly. I get the feeling that China doesn’t really want to see any foreigners on their land either.

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you. Makes sense now. And I do like that car analogy.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

No problem, glad I could help.
