You don't get lucky building both Tesla and SpaceX. Bezos spent the same amount of time and money on a rocket company and they haven't got far. Elon does have something going, it's just unlikely the competence carries over to

To add to this, the brine also often has anti-corrosives and anti-scaling chemicals mixed in with it.

Just like how Putin had two actual opposition Presidential candidates ruled ineligible due to 'irregularities' with their applications.

Not to let it get so deregulated that it falls under the weight of its own greed. Pure capitalist forces will cook any system, needs a mix for functioning markets.

I agree. With how much time we collectively spend online, money spent on online propaganda would be extremely high value for money for belligerent governments.

Words and desires are easy. Crafting, marketing and enacting policy to achieve the goals set by your words and desires is difficult. The world is complex and reacts in complex ways, but try to say that to a Trump voter and get called a disc

I hear that too. But I also hear of the occasional death when the unpasteurized milk has a pathogen in it. It's rolling the dice.

German pensioners aren't silly enough to trust their protection to a belligerent and possibly compromised USA.

It's interesting you bring up the Sino-Soviet split. I would argue that Trump has inflicted the same thing on NATO. Atlantic relations are at an all time low. Putin will be delighted.

One could argue that Elon and Tesla's reputation as the first to seriously tackle electrifying the transport system to deal with climate change got them a lot of goodwill that made people overlook the issues with the cars. Now the repu

I'm really interested to see how the non-US members respond to the US becoming belligerent to Western cooperation. This is the opportunity for everyone else to band together in their shared interests. Let the US try its new isolation.

It is interesting that your first comment notes "no mention" of something in the article yet here you admit you have not finished reading the article. Why comment on something being missing if you did not care to read it?

I look forward to you submitting a link about Western government efforts to mass-produce articles and websites for AI ingestion propaganda, or similar.

The sense I got is that it could be overlooked as an anomaly. The second time he was elected, and the actions he has taken since, have absolutely ended all that. The Allies are truly incensed, the US's reputation won't recover for

To be fair, the government did it to 'stop communism'. The US fruit companies persuaded the government to 'stop communism' because they wanted to secure cheap bananas.

I wonder what that statistic will be a year from now.

Yeah and because no one beggars themselves to solve world hunger, climate change, or malaria no one cares about those things either. /s

Any bets on how this will be justified by Trump voters? I'm thinking at first it'll be 'playing hardball negotiating tactic' and when it looks like the tariffs are here to stay 'paying more is patriotic'.

You like this rule being broken? Great, good for you. What about the other rules? The ones protecting you and the country? Is due process not valuable any more? What protects us from people with bad or selfish intentions?

Those 'most' Americans fail to vote in sufficient numbers.

Europe can't cure American political disease. The public discourse, general political education and health of American institutions is alarmingly bad. IMO it's unlikely that these trends will stop. America is suited to isolationis

Plus Trump's administration (and his personal direction of the government) is likely weaker in policy and governance skills and experience so it'll be easier for TSMC to get away with stringing them along.

Are you referring to the libertarians who like to see government fail so they have a reason to dismantle it?

This isn't how the government works. I also pay into a system that fixes roads I'll never drive on but that isn't a reason to complain.

I don't think ranked choice voting particularly helps preventing corrupt politicians. It mostly diminishes the incentive to be an extremist.
