Meanwhile, US efforts to revive the development of a molten salt reactor remain on paper, despite bipartisan congressional support and Department of Energy initiatives.

We aren't living in history, we live in the present.

True, nutjobs exist across all religions. However, in the present moment, only Israel has international status unlike any other reactionary groups.

cotton picking is already mechanized

U.S. cotton is mechanically harvested using specialized equipment. Seed cotton—fluffy white fiber that includes seeds—is harvested from the field and pressed into round bales or large modules for transport to a gin. During the ginning process, cotton fibers are separated from the seeds, cleaned of foreign material, and pressed into bales of lint. In the United States, a small sample of cotton lint is collected and sent to a USDA classing office where it is graded, thereby providing the quality characteristics on which the cotton is marketed. After ginning, the cotton bales are ready for shipment—usually to a storage warehouse where bales are consolidated before being sent to a mill for further processing into textile and apparel products.

The use of mechanical harvesting rose significantly during the 1950's, involving nearly half of the U.S. crop by 1960. Virtually all of the U.S. crop was mechanically harvested by 1970. Mechanization of other field operations progressed rapidly in response to increased labor costs, labor shortages, and the need to perform more timely operations on larger acreages. Chemical weed control, which became common in the 1950's, has largely replaced hand hoeing, reducing labor requirements for this operation.

They can choose to take a hit to their profit margins by adjusting prices. They can only do that so much before margins are wiped out completely. This time tariffs are much broader and higher.

Why? In some cases they may make up for it with higher volume (but that too depends on demand). This applies to exporters, wholesalers and retailers. Or they may not be find any place else to export to (or sell locally).

I read a paper on this recently but can't find it :(, apparently with steel (during Trump-I) the exporters were more willing to do it but it's not the case with every good.

I really hope Trump's Treasury stops coordinating with the Fed, this will show the central bank 'independence' losers that Fed and Treasury must cooperate to ensure that the effects of spending and taxing doesn't mess up the Fed's interest rate target. Fuck central bank 'independence'.

Also, the likely result will be that after a spike in inflation, the U.S. experiences deflation and the economy shrinks. Stagflation of the 1970s occurred in part because workers and capitalist fought to maintain their share during the oil price spike. The author dumbs it all down to interest rates and monetary policy.

"9.5% of day traders are women and 90.5% of day traders are men."

"There are 1,457 high-speed algo traders— but just 99 are women. It could get worse"

"Robinhood says in its S-1 that at the end of 2020, it had 12.5 million total users with funded accounts, up from 5.1 million in 2019. And in December 2020, it had 11.7 million active monthly users, an uptick from 4.3 million in December 2019. So, with some back-of-envelope math and the caveat that it's not clear how Robinhood defined "active users" when it said that nearly 30% were women"

"Estonia is made up of beet and onion slop eating hungarians who polished the cocks of german horses for 1000 years before being elevated to sapience by the USSR."

Putin is doing it for ghost votes, what's the reason for China to do it?

I think the lack of trees does make it look a bit empty, but trees take years, decades to grow to full size.

Atleast it is not like this

True, services sector especially has measurement problems, what can be considered a transfer payment vs payment for a service, and services can be massively overinflated. And there is also purchasing power vs prices at nominal exchange rate conversion.

Look at this

Yep this is the article I read

Wasn't he campaigning on Hindutva-lite? Really reminded me of Biden/ Harris' diet fascism.

1. Law is capitalist law, they're not illegal migrants, they're undocumented.
2. Your tax contribution isn't the same as your labor contribution. If you are a middle level manager at a 'bullshit' job, you are likely paying more in taxes than an undocumented migrant, but you don't contribute much to the society through your labor, in many cases the contribution is negative (if you are in finance or military)
3. There is no reason to believe if undocumented migrants were deported, the capitalists will decide to hire workers at the legal minimum wage, it is likely that such jobs will be replaced by downsizing , prison labor or machines, not by hiring documented workers at the minimum wage because that may not be profitable in money terms.
4. U.S. has a trillion Dollar military budget; remittances creates liquidity for Dollars abroad. Also, why is it that labor is so cheap in their home countries that it makes working in the U.S. even at less than minimum wage so attractive. Migrants aren't coming because they love America, it's because they get paid more.
5. All the third world countries have vast underutilized labor. The unemployed in these countries face no competition from foreign undocumented workers. Unemployment isn't a first world problem, it is much worse in third world, it is THE problem.

Why is private sector doing nuclear energy? It'll take large amounts of subsidies anyway since the private sector doesn't do anything if they don't forsee profits. Might as well have it in the public sector which doesn't have to worry about monetary profits.

I don't think much is happening in UK with regards to anything productive like wind or nuclear so long as the Government doesn't do stuff. Starmer is servile to finance capital interests. He is more interested in seeing the line go up.

I use Binance, you can use your card there, fees are like 4%. I prefer USDT because there is volatility/exchange rate risk with non-stablecoins but you may not have a choice depending on the seller. If you want to avoid the 4% fee do a SEPA transfer.

I use Trust Wallet. Is it perfectly safe? No, but for payments its good enough.
