If they are going to strike, pretty good time for it tbh. Won't be super-political either because it will be in the Congressional lame duck, post-election. And man, as good as the tentative deal was, it really didn't seem to fix any of the outstanding scheduling bullshit that workers have to deal with.

If they strike it will be during thanksgiving week. gently caress my life

Hi, dumbass here, but one country, two systems, sounds like having a colony, and I feel like China having a colony would be...Not good?

Edit: Wait, that would be one system, two countries. What the hell is one country, two systems?

China is one country ran with two systems. The PRC and Hongkong. I guess in this case it would be PRC and Taiwan.

That's not really the case for Hong Kong any more. That second system has been pretty systematically dismantled.

“One country two systems” 一国两制 and “fifty years without change” 五十年不变 are the specific promises made by the Deng government to the people of Hong Kong in preparation for the handover from the British. In particular there were worries that Beijing would interfere with the market economic system, democratic governance, and/or free press that existed in HK as a British territory, and Beijing made assurances that those would not change “for fifty years.” It’s been twenty-five years since the handover and none of those things remain in any substantial form.

Yeah, there was a spat of brief but intense civil unrest in 2019/early 2020 as Hong King’s Western-leaning youth and intelligentsia fought tooth and nail against Beijing’s diktats. Those that weren’t arrested either fled to the West or are keeping their heads down.

Honestly, gently caress Xi and the CCP. Hopefully they’ll fall sooner rather than later.

Seems to be working out well for Beijing. Which is the only opinion that matters there. I wish I'd been old enough to visit and appreciate Hong Kong when the UK still ran it. Now it's just part of the mainland.

Matson and Pasha are not AFAIK. They might for the senior officers but its not that much different once its in the engine. The guys that took the LNG course at our school said it was poo poo and noone has any idea how all this is actually going to work.

With the course you should be able to get basic immediately and then use the partial implementation to coast to advanced if you actually go on those ships and be golden until you explode from not knowing anything I guess

I was in a loaner car with SXM yesterday and whoever had it last left it on FOX Business. Whoever the gently caress Jackie is was interviewing a retired General (Jack Keane? Doesn't he do FOX?) yesterday about Russia and Ukraine; at one point, Jackie tried to twist his arm into going along with the "WE ARE OWNED BY :ussr: SAY NICE THING ABOUT :ussr:" company line and you could tell he was growing irritated that he was trying to make sense (and was) and she was responding ("I can see that you're insisting on stepping on me, Jackie") with the standard FOX News "Nuh-uh!".
