Slop.

This is kind of a restating of the apocryphal Friedman quote about how a work gang in China should use spoons instead of shovels if it's a jobs program. This seems to be the extent of western understanding of how Communism is supposed to work.

China isn't playing by capitalist rules

That's correct Jerry! And you wanna' know why?

Maybe it is better to spread the wealth rather than just concentrate it at the complete top. It's not as if those people are contributing more to the production than those who are bussing the tables.

China isn’t playing by capitalist rules

What rules? Where is this rulebook that dictates the proper procedures for fast food restaurant cleanup under True Capitalism? Fucking libs always mistaking capitalism for some morality play.

Imagine being in a place with ten thousand years of culinary traditions through dozens of cultures and still going to the McDonald's.

So this guy thinks that if you leave your tray on the table, no one's ever going to pick it up, ever? The smartest people in the world.

if you shit on the floor someone will have to clean it up. good for the economy to shit on the floor. this increases gdp

Socialism is when you have a bus boy and the more bus boys you have the more socialist it is.

what's some of the stories you've heard? one i heard was there were no birds, because people were hunting them for food

McDonalds in China is genuinely identical to McDonalds anywhere else in the world. Some people put their own trays away, some don't, someone is always going to be employed to deal with the latter.

However, I do think there's an interesting discussion to have on China's employment tactics, for example how huge numbers of especially older people fill low-wage jobs like street cleaning or security guarding, on a probably unnecessary scale, to ensure full-employment.

It's wild how someone could possibly misinterpret McDonalds playing at being a real restaurant with waitstaff in some countries where it can pretend to be a fancy foreign luxury brand instead of the absolute worst, bottom of the barrel fast food you can possibly find that it is in the US, as instead being a make-work program like some US states do with gas stations needing to have dedicated gas pumpers on the payroll.

I didn’t clear the table at applebee’s and that why the west will fʌll

Here in America we do things much differently: You eat in your car and then "bus your tray" by throwing the bag of trash into the ditch on the side of the interstate. This is so that the enslaved people have something to do for their multiple consecutive life sentences.
