The aluminum sector isn't moving to the U.S. despite tariffs — due to one key reason

  • Which is how a country like Iceland is able to make more than the US despite having a total population of 400k people: They have tons of access to renewable energy through geothermal vents.

    Norway makes around twice as much as the US with their 5.5m people, again because of renewables.

  • Try watching some traditional TV news that boomers and older watch, and you'll quickly realize that it's propaganda(doesn't even have to be a right leaning channel). Many of them are completely unaware of what is actually happening. Whenever there's a story about a school being bombed and children dying, the only thing they hear is terrorism this, terrorist that.

    One of my neighbors in her sixties was shocked and acted like a serious crime had been committed when some kids wrote "Free Palestine" in chalk on the sidewalk. Because in her mind the kids were openly promoting terrorism, instead of trying to stop fellow children from dying.

  • Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.

    For example: A scary amount of Europeans don't know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their "processed cheese product". And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.

    Coca-Cola also own a lot of "local" flavoured drinks.

  • At this point, if a news outlet or politician refuse to call it what it is, I assume they actually approve.

    So far it's most of them across the world.

  • Yeah that's how it goes.

    Just earlier today I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying figure out an issue where the classic "debug print" didn't give the correct value. And as is often the case, I had forgot to change print to the new test variable.
