    18+52+37+47+56=210 for China. Each child could pick up to 3 answers. The average number of jobs the Chinese children picked was 2.

    For USA/UK the average was about 1. Very few children selected more than one answer.

    That’s weird. What a weird poll. Were there only 5 possible choices? I would have told you I wanted to be a veterinarian at that age, if I answered at all. (I did not become a vet, I became a failure lmao)

      It says all the children were given an option to pick up to 3 answers. Given the small sample size, it’s likely there were questioned by the same person and that person didn’t convey that to children properly.

      Or they are all very focused on only 1 path.

        Mmhmm, I also noticed that, which is why it’s the second sentence in my post.

        Given the small sample size

        It’s a survey of 3,000? It’s still possible that only one person was giving the survey to the Chinese students.

        But yeah, it does look like the Chinese students got different instructions or had them explained differently or something. Just a strange poll.

      They’d better, the fiduciary responsibility of the corporate entity has the one, and only one requirement.

      The cancer, deaths, depression, poverty, oppression, etc. is just for fun!

      There is quite literal Opium War going right now (and for few decades in the past) but China has nothing to do with it, it’s waged by the US government against people of US and some other countries mostly in Central and South America.

        A few other related ones:

        • The confirmed cia program to start the crack epidemic and use it to profit off of and impoverish black communities in the US. Read gary webb - dark alliance for more on that.
        • The historical and still ongoing spread of alcohol to native communities in the US.
        • The CIA pretty much took over the majority of international drug trade after ww2 via the helliwell plan(modelled on Chiang kai-sheks program) , and used it to fund their covert ops. A lot more on that in williams - operation gladio.

    Pre-COVID. I wonder what it’s like now. Anecdotes from people who work in education seem to say it was pretty devastating for child development, but it’s hard to tell if it’s above and beyond the perennial “this new generation is totally fucked” sentiment.
