Didn’t the US ditch digital camo a decade ago?

Ellen Meiksins Wood’s pretty compelling argument was that capitalism arose first as agrarian capitalism in England with the enclosure of common property, the imposition of market relations (tenants needing to rent and dependent on markets rather than substance farming) and the relationship between the 200 or so landowning family who dominated the state.

Wood also brings the idea of improvement of productive capacity as a critical definitional element of capitalism - which I think is really crucial.

So for example, you say what if the Greeks or Romans deployed steam technology in an industrial way. And someone else might respond “oh well, they didn’t have the metallurgical technology to prepare the high quality steel required to use steam technology to further mechanise production”. But if you’re a medieval business owner, you’re not really thinking that if you invested in the metallurgical tech tree, you’ll let steam power - with the exception of the capitalist hell bent on increasing output in a highly competitive environment.

Technological development is driven primarily by social relations - which is why you have marvels like the Antikythera mechanism with a complex system of 60+ gears sinking to the bottom of the Mediterranean and the technology otherwise being basically unused in Greek society.

Not really new, they’ve backed that cartel for ages

The U.S. government allowed the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel to carry out its business unimpeded between 2000 and 2012 in exchange for information on rival cartels, an investigation by El Universal claims.

Citing court documents, the Mexican newspaper reports that DEA officers met with top Sinaloa officials over fifty times and offered to have charges against cartel members dropped in the U.S., among other pledges.

I would be more interested in debt by income decile. 30 percent is something government could cop for 3 percent inflationary pressure over ten years (assuming repayment perfectly translates into domestic consumption impacts)

South America is also okay in the high (47 teragrams of soot) scenario - nukes in the northern hemisphere, impacts in the northern hemisphere

That’s a no trade scenario and just models current production

Contemporary setting is a mistake too

I will buy a cd key and crank the hacks online though

There are heat tolerant coral species but it will result in some very significant biodiversity loss.

Ocean acidification is a harder problem.

Without tools, in a fair fight? Surely not

Much more likely deregistered to avoid all the obligations on political parties to record and report donations, etc

I don’t know why this is contentious, the Bible is pretty clear on this - Jesus went through a religious trial and then they took him to the Roman governor to seek the death penalty.

The Roman governor questioned Jesus, shrugged and let a crowd [of Jews, as you would expect] decide whether Jesus or another bloke should be crucified.

The saying “live by the sword, die by the sword” comes in response to the Jewish religious ‘police’ chopping off the ear of a servant while arresting Jesus.

I would say technically god killed Jesus, but the Christian god started off a Jewish god so arguably still killed by Jews.

Bear in the mind that this is the Portuguese energy company saying the issue was temperature swings in Spain, not a Spanish power company

The site scales the images so it’s not as visually different as it would be otherwise

Every worker a small business owner with one employee

Compensation can be good, but they have to work within a legal system that doesn’t easily facilitate their corporate structure and ultimately “the workers get paid well” falls short of my expectations

Huawei is one of the 996 companies (72 hour work week) so that ain’t great
