A meme repeated in Africa is “US and British come to lecture us. China builds hospitals”. Legalizing bribery is a path for US privatization of energy boondoggles on the continent. Bribes always cheapest way to corrupt economics.
Africa has fantastic solar resources, but more importantly, does not have established monopolies that make home/community solar expensive in US. The cost of a western built coal plant, and electricity transmission/distribution in Africa is high. Importing coal also higher there due to less infrastructure. Coal prices rose to extortionist levels from war on Russia, and extortionist LNG prices in Europe.
Even if you want to build a utility scale power plant in Africa, solar and batteries are cheaper than coal, and dependence on coal/fossil fuel supplies and price fluctuations. African grid reliability is poor largely because fuel supplies are already unreliable. Trump/US saying that Africa selling cocoa and coffee that no one else can grow is taking advantage of US with upcoming tariffs, would make it clear corruption to submit more strongly to US. The decolonization of Africa moves that have taken place the last 2 years as the west devolves to irrelevance, is not something that will likely be reversed… depending on those bribery levels.
We can go pretty high, but 3-5 stories has easier construction, and doesn’t need expensive elevator system. 4th and 5th floor without an elevator advantages young people, but reduced rent still can be profitable vs stopping at 3 stories.
Pete Hegseth, who said the US will halt all offensive cyber operations – and planning for such operations – against Russia.
This does not confirm headline. Basic respect while negotiating peace shouldn’t be propagandized this way.
The appropriate criticism here is about corrupt markets resulting from restricted/scarce housing supply. Fair markets that encourage abundant housing supply, are ones that would lead to “perfect competition” and fair ROI on capital. The oligarchist/capital supremacy model of US/west corrupts markets against abundance, because extortionist profits fund politicians to protect extortionist profits.
UBI, not democracy, is the important freedom that can address structural corruption, but still the option to rent still needs to pay for the capital/expense investment in allowing you to rent.
That is probably it. Age verification seems overkill on hassle and intentional/accidental privacy risks.
These are sold as daily health supplements, where internal dose would seem much higher than topical applications. If its dangerous, it shouldn’t be sold to anyone is all I can understand.
The main delusion/criticism is that a VAT elsewhere is “ripping US off”. Reciprocal tariffs are expected to include VAT % as a tariff to match. The US is allowed to have their own VAT if it is such a competitive advantage. They could also choose nationalized healthcare to save on employer insurance costs.
The EUropean relationship did get Germany to smile and buy extortionist priced LNG after the US blew up a pipeline fairly recently, and driving away that level of sycophancy has much higher cost than underpaying for a few Mercedeses.
Lucky for the pedo, you never have to prove you are under 18, if that is what you tell the website.
cosmetics that contain certain chemicals like Vitamin A or alpha hydroxy acids.
I believe I can buy a ton of these chemicals over the counter and shove them all at once down my cockhole without ID. Is dabbing a smidge on my cheeks dangerous?
couple times a year I drive around 1000 miles per day
You can use the savings of having a $20k city car to rent a $70k monster car a couple of times per year, and come out way ahead. You probably need more luggage space on those trips anyway.
Why can’t they put a 600miles battery with 2 motors for awd
They do that for more expensive models.
The advantage of small batteries is higher efficiency and more range per charge hour in addition to a cheaper car.
Who’s show has been frequently anti-Trump.
Joke is that it is an automatic
… we are golden. and we got to get ourselves back to oligarch tax cuuuuuuuuts, yeah.
an existential threat that is unsolvable through capitalism.
Capitalism is the wrong word choice. It is unsolvable through oligarchy that prefers to protect their assets and buy Government fairly cheaply to achieve the goals. Markets and overall ROI from lower insurance costs, cheaper energy, and rational avoidance of future cleanup costs does not contradict rational market theory that is the core of what capitalism was defined as. Modern definition of all isms is simply that Capitalism is supremacy of capital. Protection of previous capital investments is not supposed to mean capitalism.
NATO/Asian allies of the US increased their sycophancy level to 11 under Biden. The most absolute evil neocon Republican the DNC could unleash on the US. Biden launched a war and propaganda campaign against Russia that made Russia stronger instead of weaker. US economy still did very well compared to its sycophantic colonies who sacrificed themselves for this evil.
Instead of continuing a losing war, beating up the pathethic subserviant slaves seems like easy wars/domination in his mind. It is mostly an ego play, where pie in the sky manufacturing investments don’t need to materialize as long as there are press releases supporting him, or announced investments. US can go in a depression, but he will say US is doing amazing thanks to him because of those press releases, and UAW support even as he removes auto tariffs the next day.
Europe is just cowering. Canada shamefully echoed the (state sponsored) terrorist designation of Mexican cartels which enables US war on Mexico, which is one big real win from the chaos. Where win = privilege of a war on Mexico. If he does cause an economic depression, surely that is Biden’s fault, and a war on Mexico will make it all better soon enough after the elections.
It was a miscalculation to say that Canada will gladly become 51st state under governor Wayne Gretsky. The backtracking on tariffs the last 2 days will probably backtrack on energy tomorrow. Canadian hatred towards US is the miscalculation and permanent chaos.
Causing shocks to the stock market and profiting from them sounds plausible.
Currency markets offer 99% leverage, and being an insider to chaos direction is massive profit certainty. Grifters get to grift harder.
Russian influence farms didn’t shut down after the election
Pure loser disinformation. Trump hating you needs you to gaslight yourself/others into hating Russia instead. Need to combat Russophobia for your own sanity.
I think your point is, first the tube socks go to $20. Then someone (maybe a Chinese who is now global expert in sock making) in US figures out a way to make them for $19, 2 years after their investment.
For Canada and Mexico and tarriffs in general. We need to bring manufacturing back to America and revitalize the rust belt.
For Canada anyway, there is a manufacturing trade surplus in favour of US. Canadians buy more autos than they make, and also provide affordability for US made products, through components. So it means a reduction in US manufacturing jobs, when better products are available from less hateful countries, and US made goods are too expensive for Americans.
It was decent replacement 10 years ago. Openoffice. If somehow you need to pay by subscription, I’m not sure it was missing features back then.
