a corrupt president getting arrested.
You’re just repeating US empire propaganda, just as its view on murdered driver. The actual only reason to leave the Venezuelan government in place is because they are more corrupt/bribeable than Maduro. The US is most corrupt country on earth and I can name 10 direct corruption acts from Trump alone. Can you name 1 corrupt act from Maduro?
Carney’s statement on Venezuela is equivalent to "We recognize the greatness of the extermination of domestic liberal terrorist in Mineapolis this week, and sympathize with the brave officer’s tragedy of dealing with anti-American sentiment. However, we hope that America can be peaceful and cooperative, with due process, in the future.
Canada has failed to make important and needed concrete shifts. Bank of Canada increased its US holdings by 15% = $9B over the year, with Canadian institutions adding $50B. It chickened out on taxing big US tech, and eliminated all counter tariffs.
Worst by far is the completely unphased military posture of amplifying US force projection and warmongering propaganda. It has not reversed a single demonic lie it accepted in the past from the US, including Russia provoked war in Ukraine, Venezuela had illegitimate ruler, Russia and China are threats to Canada’s arctic, and Mexican drug cartels are state sponsored terrorism. Canada has accepted subordinate NATO members role to be proxies in war on Russia by accepting the funding burden for US containment/diminishment policy on Russia, as well as US arms purchases to help with force amplification in future war on Russia.
Canada’s continued commitment to F35 (with kill switch) purchases, defense pact with US dictatorial puppet in Philippines who, like Ukraine, is happy to be bribed to suicide itself on China. It cooperated with US navy in Carribean late last year.
Important theory.
“If AI were already replacing labour at scale, productivity growth should be accelerating
There are headlines that suggest high productivity numbers, but tech capex now being 2% of GDP can be a big mask for those headlines. The way productivity is measured is sales divided by employment costs. Auto sector or insurance companies don’t have a genuine productivity boost if cars and insurance just cost more without employees making more of it.
Overpaying for GPUs, power, and datacenter construction are fairly low employment activities, GPUs being made overseas at extreme revenue per kg is something that would especially skew productivity numbers. Any growth in datacenter revenue is also something accomplished with few employees, and their customers are not necessarily boosting their revenues/employee.
This is important for all of us. But, it will definitely boost Chinese chip manufacturing if prices are awesome even if they need to improve yields.
article didn’t say anything. How does denser plasma achieve higher temperatures or other benefits? What advances did their denser plasma produce?
then I am way off. I read off blury thumbnai, GWh-thermal. Your version makes it negligeable gold production.
Nothing to do with headline which was already confusing, because brownshirts were volunteers. ICE is a US army division deployed to silence dissent, under cover of being a purely anti-immigrant enforcement army division. The National Guard becomes a force protection service for ICE. The brownshirts were paramilitary meaning a technically independent of government group even if they get “informal” government (actually nazi party funded brownshirt leadership) funding which leaders can optionally fund pay to “soldiers”. ICE is simply government salaried and controlled soldiers.
can’t have war if everyone surrenders too soon.
No. The Tianmen Square video is of tank man who made a tank stop instead of running him over. The protests were over a previous (1-3 nights before) protest or, according to Chinese Government, riot where protesters were killed. Deaths did not happen after tankman.
All of the ICE vehicles I’ve seen are unmarked, with non-uniformed masked men jumping out of them and attacking people or their vehicles. Maybe 10 years ago, a Florida Man shot a black kid for wearing a hoodie, and got off on “stand your ground laws”. Apparentlly, MAGA thinks “if they could be ICE, give them all your money and vehicles” or you, as domestic terrorist scum, deserve to get killed.
I indeed have heard that before. I think they say that to make us part of the alliance against China.
global mine production is 10t per day. 120t/day from single 1gw e plant does sink value substantially, but is a drop in the bucket compared to 80k tons of copper/day. Gold is a better copper I think, so maybe a floor value of $20/kg. But to subsidize fusion energy by 20c/kwh, it needs to stay above $11/oz . Gold is also a better silver, but silver production is 80t/day, and so gold is unlikely to hold that threshhold value.
A bigger deal is that we are collectively too politically stupid to have “golden goose fusion”. Our blessed oligarchs deserve better than their heathen oligarchs, and it is perfectly normal to diminish and warcruise them. Nuclear power already isn’t war resilient, and destroying one is something Ukraine has seen propaganda value in doing due to media control that would blame Russia for it. So, our collective stupidity is already at extreme levels. But the play in golden goose fusion is buy all the ultra cheap gold after mine closures, and then destroy all the golden geese. Destroy all attempts to build new ones.
uhm… if gold198 turns back into mercury in 64 hours, and is radioactive in the meantime… that sucks. But what they are doing is turning Mercury198 into mercury197, and that decays into (real) gold197 … afaiu.
The safe level isn’t that important, because the gold can be put into an ETF investment vehicle, which is a substantial enough demand for gold. National reserves (the vast majority of gold demand) too are long term holders.
2t/GWhth is a huge amount. While the best case economics for fusion is 30c/kwh cost = $3m/Gwhe, that would be 3GWhth = 6T of gold. Even at $45/oz (1/100th of current value) that would be $8m/Gwhe revenue, and would likely be able to sell electricity at market rates as the “waste product”, or not even bother with the expense/complexity of electricity generation.
Negotiating quotas, dealership investments, factories, is reasonable to reduce tariffs to a “revenue raising” level, but also pressure US/western firms to invest more (without subsidy) to keep the large Canadian auto market access.
The irony of joining team genocide is that self defense means you deserve to be genocided. Racist genocide will increase racial tensions by design, and pet eating accusations are a tool even if stories debunked, and then masked non-uniformed fascist thugs scaring away then killing a white mom dropping off kid at school is a small price to pay to support further escalation to genociding the right people.
The bigger picture for politicians is team white/team Christian is performative for capturing support for team zionist oligarchy
Good riddance. Nazis belong with their kind, and hopefuly, but unlikely, Canada won’t contribute to more Ukrainian corruption.
He relies on many government contracts for the future.
In Romania, they declared a candidate illegal.
Putin has higher approval ratings than any western leader. Chinese people are happier with their level of democracy than any country in the west.
Our countries are extremely corrupt with elections fully determined by Zionism, CIA and oligarchy, with parliaments/congress providing 0 useful bills of any kind, including avoiding popularly requested freedoms.
An empirical definition of democracy, as best fit, is nations with performative elections that result in a winner that is in full agreement with US foreign policy.
The cognitive dissonance of popular discontent within US’s NATO colonies is that because the US is a directly stated enemy intent on destroying them, they would be far more advantaged to be in an alliance with Russia and China, and to contain the US, instead of finding the most extreme way of subjugating themselves harder to the US.
