Hey don't forget the CHIPS act fabs that are behind schedule because foreign companies realized that Americans are lazy and don't work hard.

The ones they dropped into the ocean causing people to drown trying to retrieve them or

This reduces demand. Sounds fine to me.

the ones they dropped on top of crowds of people, crushing them?

This increases supply. I think you're not looking at this from a capitalist perspective: increased supply, decreased demand? The US is just improving access to food!

China is rotating construction workers into solar panel deployment. May are theorizing that this will be the last great rotation of China's glut of blue collar workers. Projections always assume market effects at play, but those don't always hold for China.

Obviously, ISKP has become the core force of the "Islamic State" armed force, and its position can be regarded as the new core and top-level position of the "Islamic State". The surviving "Islamic State" armed forces did not hesitate to publicly change their stance to show favor to the United States and Europe and become enemies of China, Russia and Iran, hoping to take advantage of the confrontation between major powers to profit from chaos.

In fact, the "Islamic State" armed forces have chosen sides in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and continue to attack Russian targets, which not only shows its vitality but also shows its goodwill towards the United States and Europe. At a time when relations between Russia, the United States, Russia and Europe are extremely deteriorating, the United States and Europe will naturally not have much sympathy for Russia's terrorist attacks, and silence itself is a great encouragement to the "Islamic State" armed forces. Similarly, the "Islamic State" armed forces have listed China, the "number one" strategic rival of the United States, as their enemy, which is bound to strengthen mutual understanding and even establish a utilitarian "non-alignment alliance."

After the regime change in Afghanistan, the "Islamic State" armed forces listed China, Russia and Iran as their priority opponents. Based on survival needs or higher negotiation demands, they are bound to list China, Russia and Iran as key attack targets to please the US and European camps. The "Islamic State" armed forces are aware of the pain of the United States and NATO losing Afghanistan, and understand that they are extremely unwilling to be replaced by neighboring powers such as China, Russia, and Iran. Therefore, they are willing to act as Washington's de facto agent and shadow ally by confronting the Afghan government and being hostile to China, Russia, and Iran. Use terrorist attacks to harm the normal development and core interests of China, Russia and Iran.

Water has no permanent shape, and soldiers have no permanent potential. In the 1980s, based on the common desire to fight against Soviet expansion, Osama. Book. Bin Laden formed an alliance with the United States and received training and funding from the CIA. After the Soviet Union withdrew its troops and disintegrated, conflicts between the two sides escalated and they turned against each other. Nowadays, the world situation has changed drastically, and the relationship between enemies and friends has been restructured. It is not a fantasy that the new generation of terrorists who pursue the "Bin Laden Doctrine" and the United States have expanded the intersection of interests and strategically formed a philanthropic relationship.

This is one of the most nuanced takes I've seen discussing the issue of why ISIS has shifted from the West to the East: due to emerging geopolitical friction between the Western powers and the Eastern powers, ISIS has decided to adopt bin Laden's playbook by aligning with one faction (to receive logistical support, training, etc.) against the other. I'd recommend reading.

I have never in my life been happier than I am right now.

Fuck methane, fuck the absolute garbage regulation around methane emissions in the West, and bless the EPA for trying to do something about it.

Why should we be subsidizing your garbage industry? Negotiate it yourself. Florida alone has half the population of the entirety of Canada.

Even if only Florida tried to negotiate, it would get similar prices to what Canada achieves.

Car engines are immensely inefficient and car charging is a load that's easy to load-balance for renewables (dynamic pricing see: Tesla)

You can have a good chip with a bad process and a bad chip with a good process. Nvidia Ampere used Samsung 8N to cut costs, but it still kicked the ass of the competition. Intel shipped hot garbage for years, but it wasn't because their 14nm process was bad (for a number of years, Intel 14nm was a very solid process.

The Houthis decided to take power after the Saudi-backed candidate ran unopposed in the election (which, y'know, is the sign of a functioning democracy that represents the people). Following almost a decade of hostilities with Saudi Arabia using US military assets, and after Saudi Arabia finally extricated themselves from the quagmire, I guess we're going right back into it?
