A sobering message, especially to the politicians in Washington.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States.
Why are Americans sleeping? "You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are such silly people. And Americans are all silly people," Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia” quote -- "Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China," he said.
"All
1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because
they're not silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a
prison fight.”

acknowledged that China does "bad stuff"... from the concentration
camps of Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong. But he stressed, "There's
got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells
everyone what to do and a representative government that can't do
anything at all.”
"In
two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved
the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class,
and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they
bought Africa," Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road
infrastructure initiative.
He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. America
has none. … We've been having ‘Infrastructure Week’ every week since
2009 but we never do anything. Half of this country is having a
never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato Head has a
d--- or not and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard
people because they're eating babies. We are such silly people.
"Nothing
ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and
we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it with each other, endlessly
litigate it, sunset clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a
bill where a half-assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," Maher
explained. Then the half-assed bill is forgotten.
"China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it.”
The
HBO star cited how it took "ten years" for a bus line in San Francisco
to pass its environmental review and how it took "16 years" to build the
Big Dig tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that
China built in "19 days" ... and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was
demolished and rebuilt in "43 hours.”
“We binge-watch, they binge-build. When
COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in
10 days and they barely had to use it because they quickly arrested the
rest of the disease," Maher said. "They were solving their problems while we were stuck at home surfing the web for black market Charmin.

We're not losing to China, we’ve LOST. The returns just haven't all come in yet.
They've made robots that check a kid's temperature and got their asses back in school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they watch TikTok and their brain cells fully commit ritual suicide."
Our teacher's unions are finding every single way to keep themselves on the payroll, but keep students out of the classrooms.
WAKE UP AMERICANS!! That means ALL of YOU.
Maher
then blasted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of
degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a
lottery system for admittance to schools for advanced learners. Our
country is going down the toilet.
"Do
you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the
way of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued. "Do
you think Chinese colleges and universities are offering courses
in 'The Philosophy of Star Trek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse' ??
Can this be real? Well let me tell you, China is real. And they are eating our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again!"

The Chinese have a VERY LONG view of things and they don't give a fuck what people think of them. That makes them very dangerous. And they are Senile Joe's friends.
Stop it. You are hurting people's feelings with the truth.
I guess I am just evil
