I just helped Jack Ma to be slightly richer
just bought some cheap China stuff from aliexpress just to see if it's any good.


Now Jack Ma is worth $22 billion, and one dollar more.

Ukraine is broke, and undertook a war on that portion of the country that provided 30% of GDP. Now a draft, for an army, for a war, for a government that will - get this - implement IMF/EU *austerity*.

Here's what I did. I went out and bought everything I needed, and then quit buying stuff. I ordered
from Amazon. I bought stuff in USA. I looked for sales. Now I am free from the cult of materialism.
I don't need anything else.

He didn't quit buying material items, nor did he recently order some cheap junk.
Thinktank's posts are meant as examples, which challenge us to think critically about mass media and consumerism. He would describe it as a social experiment, but it's really just something to make him feel clever.
My fervent hope is that you and your tax dollars will be reunited in the afterlife.

So that would make it a failed experiment then. No surprise.

I tried.

Buying stuff and waiting a month for it to come from China is a new thing. Usually, people want their stuff right now.
But if Aliexpress can save me money, then I'm willing to give them my VISA number and wait a long time. I will report
back when the stuff comes on if it was worth it.
Anything for a buck is what I always say.

Re: I just helped Jack Ma to be slightly richer
Good thread.
Would read again.
But did you know if you order four things from Jack Ma, they ship four different packages?
I thought they would want to save on freight charges and put everything in one package - but no.
And how can stuff get here in only 14 days from China? how do they do it?
And the quality - good.

Will buy stuff from China again.
