    Definitely, I like their predecessor too with their more rounded nose, and their oldest model in operation is a classic in design at this point. Tbh the Wiener Linien & ÖBB both chose and choose great designs for their fleets which is good thinking since they are part of the city picture after all.

    OK, for real for one sec the likelihood of this being your average chinese company who just translated this into English and has no idea of what “white power” means is 99% so my sharp reaction is meant to point out my opposition towards white supremacists and not towards the product / brand / seller.

    I mean, I was saying it could be a mishap from someone who doesn’t know / think of these two words ambiguous meanings - and I think this is what happened here. I have made the reaction in the meme so dramatic to underline that I strongly oppose the white supremacy movement and not that I oppose the product / seller / brand.

    These are actually interesting numbers. I do not doubt them and -0.99 pop growth per 1000 is “not great not terrible”. Upon searching I stumbled upon a world bank statistic claiming that China has had a -0.1 growth rate in 2023 but I assume they are calculating per 100 and just rounded -0.99 / 1000 to -0.1 / 100.

    Now there are some developed countries that did worse than China (ahem Germany, Poland, Japan - I leave Russia and Ukraine out of this since both are actively decimating their population) but there are also a lot of developed countries who did better: Australia with 2.4, Czechia with 1.8, Spain with 1.2, …

    Two numbers I also want to mention are the US with 0.5 and the EU as a whole with 0.2. So China is not far away from the West although both are still growing whilst China is still shrinking but the trend is your friend. It would interest me if migration has already been included (I’d say yes) because that usually benefits the growth rate of the US and EU (and is something both are actively fucking up as we speak thanks to conservative ultranationalists).

    If you want to look through the numbers yourself: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.GROW?name_desc=false

    In case I messed up the numbers or anything else lemme know - it’s 5:30 am CET and I am extremely tired but the numbers sparked my interest. ^^
