For Canada and Mexico and tarriffs in general. We need to bring manufacturing back to America and revitalize the rust belt.
For Canada anyway, there is a manufacturing trade surplus in favour of US. Canadians buy more autos than they make, and also provide affordability for US made products, through components. So it means a reduction in US manufacturing jobs, when better products are available from less hateful countries, and US made goods are too expensive for Americans.
this could take years the internal industry could be shit and a myriad of other problems that will surely will affect the poorest people the most.
Yes, and it will be expensive either way. When you buy a bag of imported tube socks for $5. You’ve got tube socks in a fair trade. When you pay $20, you have 4x less tube socks. The foreign seller can still buy US agriculture, resources, or houses, or bonds to lower our interest rates with the money without forcing you to overpay for tube socks. Globalization has multidirectional benefits.
Honestly asking: what other way would anyone suggest to bring back outsourced manufacturing jobs?
Currency rate between US/China to drop 3x or more. That is also solution to US debt. Doubling down on dead ender energy will create high cost of living, not just from climate related insurance rates, but for expensive manufacturing energy, and need to pay high wages just to have home affordability.
Destroying NA auto industry will destroy it instead of auto companies writing off investments in Canada/Mexico to reinvest in US declining market that is smaller and uncompetitive. Massive auto subsidies would be needed, but still no export markets. Auto sector trade with Canada has a US surplus, with Canadians have specialized skill in parts making.
Manufacturing only makes sense if there is export potential for good products. Boeing and Caterpillar and US weapons getting blacklisted by world is bad. UAW cheering on Trump NA tariffs won’t be forgotten. Blacklisting US agriculture means their share of massive subsidies.
The future (present in China) of manufacturing is robotics. There are plenty of jobs in constructing factories, but those are cheaper in other countries, and the best robot/manufacturing companies are in China. Trump has hinted at welcoming Chinese FDI in US manufacturing, but that would be factory construction jobs more than significant permanent manual labour jobs. UAW won’t love that move.
establish a global kleptocracy ruled by the ultra wealthy
That is not serious. US kelptocracy does better with Russophobia propaganda. The actual angle for ending a losing war, is that Trump has asked Putin to “mediate” Iran nuclear deal, which can be code for Russia abandoning Iran.
Thank you. Putin is liked because he is benefiting Russia. The propaganda that if only we force them into a war, Russians will overthrow him, is crackhead thinking that led to the Ukraine failure, because Russians understand the need to defend Russia from the demonic evil that promoted this war.
Complete disservice to world to claim Russia is behind everything, because it makes you hate Russia instead of the AH fking you up the ass for US empire reasons. Ending a losing war against Russia is smart and helpful to world. Fucking you up the ass doesn’t need gaslighting that it is for the enhancement of Russia, no matter how rational/devoted your hatred for Russia is.
The best “copy” of groundhog day is Palm Springs. Both show the power of having infinite time, and while Palm Springs has one character copying Bill Murray’s hedonism of tricking a girl into sleeping with him, it also has a character using infinite time to solve advanced physics and improve their world, while another goes from being angry at being stuck in loop to realizing this was the best day of his life.
Palm Springs is a good analogy to UBI. Empowering people to use their time as best for them. A much better world than what most of us suffer through. The Truman show is a hellscape of fake friends/wife manipulating you do display product advertisements.
They’ve assisted US law enforcement with phone access. An Apple whistleblower leaked that Liz Truss texted Anthony Blinken “it’s done” 1 minute after nordstream pipeline explosion. US congressional pressure on tech has definitely put a shift away from “don’t be evil” to “national security champions”.
They are legally obligated to deny any cooperation with US government. I don’t have proof that they provide access.
They started out saying this for US too. Back in the day.
In the “drug test welfare applicants” it was more about putting extra hassles on poor people than a genuine fraud issue. Voter fraud is similarly an excuse to deny voting rights.
So extremely sad. You claim to have a researched opinion to deny reality. Like others of your kind, no factual statement of any kind.
Reality has a Russian bias. You can go fact check everything I said, instead of the childish “Russia said this so it must be false”
It was a joint US/Ukraine provocation for sure. First, Ukraine’s nazification rule started with US coup in 2014, and US controlled IMF sabotaging/making Yanukovych’s EU trade deal impossible. US/west’s insincere participation in Russia’s peaceful attempt to deal with Ukrainian nazification and hostilities towards Russians, the Minsk accords, was an insincere delay tactic to arm Ukraine. The Apartheid laws against ethnic Russians, and US arming of nazi paramilitaries that killed over 5000 in Donbas since 2014. US’s open door NATO policy for Ukraine membership, and plans for missile bases there, together with ramp up of Donbas terrorism and no talks with Russia in early 2022, forced Russia’s SMO. The concerted western propaganda disrespecting Russia on its security is clear direct proof of evil intentions behind the provocation of the “desirable” war, named “a strategic US imperative (for it to continue indefinitely)” as well.
Ukraine’s constitution demands/ed it stays neutral. Budapest is not a suicide pact.
It is so disturbing and shameful that people are walk around thinking this war was unprovoked. If that can’t be changed, you can still wake up and realize that pursuing failure would be stupid.
Is that 5x including battery storage? And is that 5x including degradation over 30 years?
It’s 5x more without batteries. The degradation level of modern panels makes them last usefully much longer than 30 years, but it’s reasonable to still just use 30 years excluding the free power past that point.
generally means a mix of baseload supply (nuclear, geothermal, hydro), “bursty” reveals renewables (solar, wind), and storage.
solar is cheapest, wind is complementary reducing battery needs. Hydro is less expensive than geothermal, and the latter is not as suited to giant power projects. Both provide the opportunity to be used as batteries pumping water uphill or heat down into the reservoir for “peaker power use” later in the day or seasonally. Solar and wind can power everything, but companies with expertise in other sectors can offer to help too. It’s only nuclear that is pure corruption uselessness.
Obviously war on Russia is the smartest thing ever, and has historically been so successful. So the natural reaction when your main war sponsor backs away is to double down and buy that former sponsor’s weapons while sacrificing social spending to do it. Totally not what a CIA stooge that says “Fuck Europe” would say, and better be a CIA stooge than have a brain cell against suicide.
I recognize that failing, but afaiu, it applied to a limited number of customers who “gambled on variable rates”. The political leadership there also shit talks renewables, putting false blame on them for grid failures, but the actual operational environment still permits a lot of renewable expansion: The basis for calling their system the least corrupt.
I think your point is, first the tube socks go to $20. Then someone (maybe a Chinese who is now global expert in sock making) in US figures out a way to make them for $19, 2 years after their investment.
