It works, when designed well enough. The problem is how do you continue to support the above ground structures, if you aren’t as lucky as Chongqing geographically. You have to essentially plan not only all the weight of the structures of each underground level, but also above ground level. That takes lots of highly specialized engineering teams to figure out, which is a huge upfront investment.

Which brings another major problem: Cost. Creating underground structures requires massive mining rigs and blasting and getting rid of the material that comes out and constant review of any potential damage that does when further expanding the city out; all of that costs just so much money compared to normal buildings. If your goal is for-profit development, you’ll never break even.

And of course the most obvious problem, most humans are not mole people and do not want to be underground. Sun-deprivation and outdoors-deprivation have serious mental and physical health issues attached, which are not solved by artificial UV-producing lights or indoor plants.

I’m sorry you’re too stupid to understand people can criticize your chosen pedophile representative.

The people that would vote against them are either locked up or are finding a way to flee the country or are legally on the voter rolls as “republicans” so that they aren’t arrested and killed.

I don’t know why Americans think their thin veneer of democracy is still around, all republican governors have stated they’ll have extra police and security at polling stations, Musk explicitly stated voting machines were tampered with to get Trump’s win so any state with those voting machines is going to come out for republicans, and Trump is just as likely to launch a literal coup this time if by some magic moment he or whomever he supports manages to lose.

You don’t vote your way out of fascism.

Calling everything that disagrees with your owners’ world view “propaganda” is just pure slavebrained behavior.

Yes, the fact they are able to feed themselves while under crushing sanctions and even have a fucking space program means they have a more efficient economy than say, the US with it’s 1% hunger rate or the UK which is starting to kick people out of housing because they ‘can’t afford it.’ They are able to accomplish the same thing every society has as a goal – taking care of its people better than if they were on their own – with 1/10,000th of the resources.

Developing countries that aren’t in famine are indeed better economies than developed countries, because they don’t have developing countries to exploit to prop up their economy.

Oh hey blatant Hasbara made by a UK website that justified the UK’s slave trade as a positive thing for the slaves. What a surprise.

And posted by a UK account that justified killing journalists and children.

I wonder what their dual nationality is.

“Corrupt and inefficient economy” they are able to fight the world’s most expensive army while still actively selling munitions to Russia while also at a food surplus while also managing to punish a dozen US allies that picked sides poorly. Even the CIA admits they could keep this up for YEARS.

They have a far more efficient economy than any country in the west – all developing countries do by necessity.

Wish for “blowjobs from my enemy’s mother”

Congrats, you win no matter what.

Your list of ‘victories’ seem to all be against people at least ten centuries behind your current technology. That’s not a war. That’s just genocide. And no, the UK did not win WWII. They were busy hiding in their bunkers while real countries actually fought and died.

(also “found him annoying” is a weird euphemism for “stalking while committing multiple hate crimes and threatening” but that’s why Labor is looking more and more like UKIP these days, brown men can’t defend themselves against “True Englishman” aggression.)

Yes that is indeed self-defense and will be found as such in any country that isn’t the UK. Even the US isn’t this stupid, and that’s saying something.

That’s for the courts to decide, “kiddo”.

They did in the 1980s with walmart, kiddo.

Nice exercise of brand loyalty, but irrelevant in this scenario.

Incorrect, this is an ‘exercise’ of explaining a very basic fact of capitalism that has been happening longer than the word ‘capitalism’ has existed. This policy is the default for all stores on Earth.

Not really no. Ubisoft agreed to these terms in order to sell their game on steam. If they sold their game on any third party platform, they would agree to the same or even more severe terms. They even made their own storefront specifically so they would have the option to not sell on a third party platform.

They now cry foul because they got all the benefits from selling on steam, but they don’t want to pay for any of those benefits.

There is nothing illegal being done by steam kiddo. And ‘good faith’ is defending themselves against sabotage, which is what ubisoft is suing for the ability to do here.

I voted for Harris, I’m not campaigning for her literally years after the election though like you are, only a literal pedophile would do that.
