Perhaps Russia is now justified in doing whatever it wants, does that mean we stop hearing people like Carney call out "Russia's illegal war on Ukraine" when we dont stand by international law ourselves?
I'd guess things like tariffs from the country holding the world reserve currency are also now justified, even though it causes crisis in countries that utilize it for global trade. Everyone gets to just do whatever benefits them and we stop attempting to harmonize or maintain some semblance of law and order as we embrace economic nihilism.
Well that's succinctly put, I didnt really understand the gravity of Carneys action. By supporting Trump hes supporting the exact same thing his speech was supposedly calling out, US hegemony and a disregard for the international order, which makes it seem more like sloganeering to attempt to garner a majority than actual principle or good faith.
They arent really loopholes though are they, Musk for instance is taking a risk to avoid taxes, and someone else with a low time preference is benefiting by accruing interest by lending him money.
They still pay taxes in the end, and it will be far higher than it would be if we plucked the fruit of their labor now. Except the IRA thing but that cant be terribly common, and again Thiel took a massive risk by not diversifying. But sure go ahead and write a law to take a chunk of that unicorn whenever it is he decided to realize it, it will fund a few hours of government spending.
Sorry its things like copper as well, I really meant all metal refining. Batteries are also required for wind and solar to be useful, without that you've got intermittent power that causes grid failure.
Nuclear is the only useful renewable at any kind of scale that isn't entirely dependent on China.
Sure but good luck recovering from that. That's my belief anyways, its rather hard to say definitively.
I also don't think Kamala was ever that popular either and wouldn't have been run if she wasn't VP, she was likely chosen for her skin color above her altruism or intelligence.
Ah, I tend to believe every country should have the ability to control their own trade policy. Paul Krugman a far left leaning economist called it a more politically expedient VAT tax, which most US economists say we need a VAT due to massive US debt accrual.
It is a tax, and generates revenue for the US, which is something many left leaning people want for things like a minimum income. I'd be curious if a Democrat did it and used the proceeds to establish a minimum income would people be seething with rage and calling it a betrayal?
Biden was clearly how Trump won, the debate was brutal. I still watch highlights now and again to see the Weekend at Bernie's fiasco the dems tried to push as normal.
The new manager of my building did it, and it was all unactionable garbage. My direct manager showed me, and he and the other managers used AI to generate the response to it.
They looked extremely corrupt in question period when Mark Miller couldnt answer why he needed the powers in the first place. The good part starts at 2:30.
Obviously it looks bad to have all these rules in place, many of which the Liberals themselves created, and then are able to doll out exceptions for corporations like Brookfield. Thats something out of a banana republic.
We ballooned the cost of everything by handing out money, as the Bank of Canada funded the entirety of Covid debt with newly printed money and QE, and now hes raising taxes to pay for the expanded costs after every dollar was devalued.
Is that deregulation in some way, or what does Neoliberal mean now?
Well they require rare earths, of which China refines most of it due to its energy intensity. Most other countries dont want that amount of smog, whereas China is communist so can generate 60% of its energy from coal. This is why China produces the large majority of solar panels and wind turbines.
You sound like you know nothing about energy generation, but you seem to fancy yourself an expert.
I do sysadmin and hate all Microsoft software from Windows to their cloud offerings.
