Heaven vs hell can be imagined at a very general level as abundance vs scarcity. Earth can be transformed from a hell to a heaven. A self serve abundance of a hunter-gathering lifestyle can still be heaven. But tourism from heaven to hell where forced servitude provides the abundance to those guests permitted abundance would further mimick the earthly hierarchy.
Extremely weird story to get pushed out everywhere. Attacks on kyiv were retaliation for Ukrainian attempted drone terrorism on Moscow the day before.
Zelensky should be the one admonished for escalating stupidly, and usa silence encourages zelensky destruction of Ukraine.
Great post. Thank you. Strategy basics are succinct. Perfect Analysis dead on even 3 months ago. Russian gains also seem to be increasing every week. Accelrating last 2.
Main terms?
Volume matters for automation. Us made market would be only for us. 15 to 20% of cell market. Less by volume.
India afaik only assembles. Its the components that are highly automated.
25% tariffs on all phones in us because all are made outside of us, is just a sales tax on a modern necessity. Will still be hard to invest on us manufacturing or assembly
At Shanghai 2025 car show, there were at least 5 flying car models from major auto players.
shouldn’t be that hard, but I understand that 94% can’t do it.
line up the apples, a line that will cut the first apple into 2/3 vs 1/3 will also cut the next apple in same proportion. 1 person gets the 2 sliced 1/3s
Not very far at all. Very little power is needed to get wheels to spin in air at 100mph. When touching down, there would be a lot of wheel “spinout”. I’d expect well under 50 feet.
I’m only aware of 30% tariffs on Chinese steel in Brazil, which is same mistake any manufacturing country can make. This was under Biden. They are unpopular, and Brazil still does significant trade with China.
Lots of comments that “this is a false distraction to justify war on Panama”. War on Panama is about interdicting Chinese commerce with Brazil and other countries south of US. Including FDI in Panama to boost its cross ocean trade volume through a railway.
This is more of a classified leak exposing US weakness and impotence. This does compromise stupid people’s faith in US protections across the world, and their rulers corrupt submission to US under propaganda of US protection.
Enemy is entirely US’s choice. China did not deny PPE to US during covid, even if demand was larger than supply rates. Now that covid is over, PPE is imported from China again. National security can mean subsidies to allow factories to be ready to shift/ramp production, not because other nations have to be enemies, but because demand could skyrocket, and government could care about US lives. Manufacturing an enemy risks those lives.
US weapon systems rely on Chinese electronics to this day. Destroying US clean energy and EV sector will destroy domestic supply chain expansion, and retain Chinese dominance over US weapon systems, and future economy. A pure propaganda misinformation system for warmongering evil is no basis for progress or sustainability, or recognizing weaknesses that could have time to fix.
But war on China move I referred to was banning sales of US patent protected fab equipment, and advanced chips to China. That is the harm to western innovation that dooms it from loss of access to world’s largest electronic device market. Though in the long term, humanity will be benefitted from the competition from China. Just US stock market/companies will suffer from the policy.
US warmongering has forced China into a “delete America” program with critical priority for chips. In the short term, this harms humanity and US dominance through lower market access, and lower US R&D due to less market access. In long term, it harms US dominance by forcing China to surpass them.
Main message is: “Talk to Russia. Dangerous to be US’s friend. US is the one that feeds you Russophobia propaganda, and embarked you into the Ukraine adventure”.
Headlines from Europe after today’s white house drama is “We will always love Ukraine, and hate Russia”
Hmmm… I wonder who can sell weapons if Europe goes to war with Russia? It takes a special level of brain worm to follow up supporting the sabotage of your pipelines, to responding to economic coercion and military abandonment by also clinging to war on your new enemy’s traditional enemy.
US is giving EU/NATO an opportunity for freedom. Doing the CIA’s wettest dream is the opposite of waking up.
Aluminum is a substitute for copper in any straight wiring application. PEX for domestic piping.
