That contrast is just

I would rather the CEO be jailed and made to work, but that requires a state willing to do it. “Murder” is the next best thing and can be done by anyone.

US did pay the price once, very small for what it did, 9/11.

And Bush killed millions afterwards. Now the Democrats want to work with the same Republicans.

I’m speaking

i know i’m being a but i despise the term ‘taxpayer funds’/‘taxpayer money’. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.

‘American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza’. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.

if you want the mainstream perspective look up ‘quantity theory of money’. from that it follows, less spending means less money and less inflation. so, spending rules reduce inflation by constraining the Government (but not commercial bank lending).

it can be true (sometimes), if you leave the economy with massive unemployment due to insufficient spending so that people don’t have money, it slows down and eventually shrinks but hey atleast there is ze price stabilité.

if you want non-mainstream macroecon books, these two ones I have read and can recommend. 1 2

Nearly drowned once falling into a lake and not knowing how to swim. I didn’t think about death, it was more “how do I get out”. Luckily someone else got my hand.

Its an ancient argument and your answer is correct.

There is no cock check at restroom doors anyone can enter.

Could be a power issue. 2.5" hard drives do require some power. Some external drives have two USB one for data and other for extra power.

Maybe one of your laptops isn’t supplying enough power or the port is dirty causing resistance and voltage drop. Or it could be something else entirely.

I don’t agree with either, tbh. I don’t support the latest tweet because I don’t believe America needs to “lead the world” in EVs or solar panels, it’s American exceptionalist nonsense.

Also, tariffs don’t necessarily mean American people pay for it. China doesn’t pay for tariffs, obviously. They can sell to other countries or for domestic use instead if Americans don’t wish to import their goods.

If the tariffs are imposed along with an increased state role in domestic production of EVs and solar panels, with proper planning like China did, the U.S. could achieve domestic production of the same quality in long run.

But in reality, there won’t be any proper planning. The U.S. government is incompetent. So, you’ll end up having inferior, overpriced cars.

Remember glass bottles?

It’s not just because they want to raise money, they want to raise dollars specifically.

That said, China has been pushing companies towards domestic capital markets, which run on Yuan.

fr tho, cronyism is the inevitable result of capitalism. there is always a tendency towards oligopolies.

“Public-Private Partnership” and it’s consequences

It is normal. Trump supporters have been like this since 2016. Right wing cranks existed way before that.
