The key here is that he said "and other participating countries", as though he had the power to set tarrifs on behalf of other countries, like England did in China during the century of humiliation. Outright neocolonizing of Europe would be a fuck.

This feels solvable for the USA. It makes it feel like the choice to arm Ukraine is deliberately intended to put pressures on the supply chain to find and address gaps.

The man has nothing but time and money. He has seen more videos of the Third Reich than most people, guaranteed. He is not an ignoramus, he's a well informed and highly effective grifter who needs an ideology that supports his self worth in the face of his contradictions and cog dis.

Advice is to build relationships with others who also use Linux. Find a chat room that you can stay in and stick with for a couple of years. It will be invaluable. Don't try to do this purely from documentation, stack overflow, blog posts, and searching forums. Real live people is the way to go.

Well, I think the issue is that the Supreme Court likely can't order the cops to do anything because unlike within a county, there's no equivalent of a national sheriff. So the executive branch still has the power and discretion of enforcement.

So in his exit interview he is choosing to say that he is worse at negotiating than Trump?

This is stage managed.

I want to make abundantly that Gen Z did not fumble the election, the Democrats did. The Democratic party analyzed the situation much the same way you did, and realized that there was no way the Republicans would ever win over Gen Z, so they took that as opportunity to move further right than Reagan and expose the entire two party system as one large fascist bloc with 2 different sheep dogs.

And Gen Z correctly saw electoralism as a dead end and are actively exploring alternatives.

Rapidity of growth is based on starting conditions, available labor, available natural resources, AND the available technological state.

When the starting conditions are making maximum use of available technology with the super majority of labor being employed towards the domestic economy, then the limiter to growth is the available technological state. Innovation in this case becomes the driver for growth as the delta between what is currently possible and what innovation makes possible is the domain of growth.

But then the starting conditions are not making maximum use of available technology, when the majority of labor is employed making an imperialist leech richer, and when natural resources are dominated by imperialists, then the delta between current state and potential state is predominantly in labor, natural resources, and building known technological capabilities. Innovations cannot even be taken advantage of under those starting conditions, let alone developed.

The idea that a peasant society should either innovate beyond the state of technology of the imperialists or else should be tributary states is really just a position that everyone should be tributaries because innovation under imperialist dominance is not feasible as a means of growing an economy.

China's shift to innovation is therefore not a question of strategy but rather if material conditions and the shift to innovation will emerge only in so far as it is made possible and feasible by labor participation in domestic enrichment, natural resource sovereignty, and development of globally-known technologies that lack uncertainties.

They keep talking about fiscal cost as though money is a resource. MONEY IS NOT A RESOURCE. It's an arbitrary medium of exchange. It's only useful to measure money cost if you can translate it to either A) natural resource consumption, B) labor, C) externalities you want minimized, D) deepening ensnarement in foreign debt, or E) an increase in money supply disrupting exchange.

If China didn't borrow internationally to make those investments, it didn't get deeper into debt to it's enemies.

If China isn't seeing inflation, it didn't flood the money supply.

No country has come even close to fully pricing its externalities and China uses democracy to manage those, so the fiscal cost doesn't represent that.

If China has better things to do with its labor, then this could represent missed opportunities to do those better things. However, as we've seen, China has ever improving living conditions, infrastructure, education, cost of living, etc. It would be difficult for someone to argue what specific things that labor should have been allocated to.

And natural resource consumption is very much the same.

Writing an entire article about the 'fiscal cost' as though money is an actual resource with real use valuebis exactly the sort of brain rot to expect from the North Atlantic.

This feels like the first time since Gameboy Color that Nintendo has doubled down on an existing design

Or did Biden admin not try at all?

You don't understand that the USA is the global hegemon. It does not get manipulated by other countries. It either manages to dominate or it does not. There is no scenario where other countries have the power they need to actually dominate the US domestically in any sphere.

The dominant producer of propaganda globally is the USA, both domestically and abroad. Not a single country on the planet has the networks, the apparatus, the number of people, and the continuous propaganda history that the USA has. No "foreign" actor has any chance of competing fully against US propaganda.

Wait, two idf soldiers were killed a day earlier and they were named Zion and skikNAZI?

They need to be educated

LOL, making the Third Amendment to the Constitution of the USA relevant?!? What the fuck are you on? You're a lower class Uighur with lived experience of the CPC but you view the world through the lens of the American Constitution as it was ratified in the late 1700s?

Get bent.

Oh there's rent. Most US prisons charge per diem rates for housing, and they charge for many "services" and they charge literal extortion rates. Prisoners leave US prisons deeeeeply in debt

Not so much a threat as much as just accruing profits.

Sure, but the fact that the US did this could be evidence that they see Japan as a flight risk

Possible sign that Japan is slowly leaving the imperial orbit and moving closer to China?

This will be interesting to monitor. Seems like a potential test balloon for China to observe the effects on these companies and map out what kind of leverage China actually has on the defense industry.
