Trump is just reducing American consumption so we can hit our climate goals. Art of the deal strikes again! The winning never stops

Brave is decent but alot of people have problems with the creator which is understandable

I use to use ungoogled-chromium back in the day not sure if its still around

I hear things about helium nowadays but don’t have any experience

Why Vivaldi? its partially closed source and still chromium based

What will releasing this even do, its quite obviously what happened but no ones retracting their support for anyone

Who’s the genius to sanitized American history, I think Goebbels could learn a few things from them. Modern American education even though college makes modern American history seem like a bunch of helpless minorities decided to protest until the benevolent white people gave them rights, and modern political activism shows it. The history of labor is barely even mentioned.

I think all volumes of capital combined are like 1000 pages?

If you can get people to stop buying from China, Seize the means of production, and then live a materially worse life I’m all for it. We currently have a bunch of people crying about RAM prices stopping them from playing the latest triple AAA video game so I doubt that will happen

Marx himself wrote this long ass book explaining the capitalism of his time, yet modern leftist have no interest understanding the capitalism of their time.

I 100% pirate games because of price what are people even talking about. Most of the launchers work fine ime. Valve has linux support which is nice

Who are these people who are constantly talking about cross-fit, veganism, and linux irl.

I’m not stating its better, but that after 20 years we still do not have anything to show for it, and in 6 years all we will have is a line of Bakersfield to Merced. I’m all for HSR, but it shows how horribly incompetent the state is.

India is expected to have its first HSR segment by 2028-2029

The SNCF (French railway company) was initially interested in getting a contract for the high speed rail, they left to go make a HSR in morocco which opened in 2018.

“SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional. They went to Morocco and helped them build a rail system.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/us/california-high-speed-rail-politics.html

Shipping stuff is cheap if you have alot of it for example

https://freightify.com/ship-containers/china puts a 40ft container at max $6000, which in practice can fit around 26000kg, so per kg you are paying around 26 cents per kg shipped. You would get even better deals I assume if you had contracts setup to do bulk business with freighters

Originally their was the option of the coastal route, so you could just then move along the coast up Oregon. But my point is after 25 years all we have to show for it is a train that goes from nowhere to nowhere. The connection to LA and SF is still unfunded from the last time I checked

California is such a inefficiently run state I hope this passes, the state suffers from a resource curse where it has the most profitable companies in the world that it can waste time building a fucking high speed railway from Bakersfield to Merced. It needs something that fundamentally breaks the fabric of the state so it can realign into something functional. Main thing I would hope for zoning to happen at the state level, and prop 13 being repealed.

Surely we can charge more than 1B

You have a idea of war informed by Hollywood and WW2 documentaries, war is both more normal and more horrifying than you think.

We need a Georgist community on lemmy. Rent Seekers BEGONE

You can get Chinese prices if your citizens are willing to work like the Chinese, no one in the West will.

Autarky is also largely a degrowth argument, most Westerners already feel like they should consume even more so it’s impossible to win unless your voters fall for Donald Trump esque arguments. The modern Westerner lives one of the most opulent lives in the world history on the back of cheap third world labor.

edit: If you believe the Trump admin has a plan, they are trying to thread needle by devaluing the US Dollar just enough to incentivize manufacturing, but keeping it high enough that the average US consumer doesn’t feel the hit. They then leverage tariffs for preferential trade deals with other countries. I don’t think its really working but its the only way you could revitalize manufacturing in the west at this point

Donnie at it again
