That is a huge market with huge possibilities. Africa could easily replace China as a manufacturing powerhouse.

And China knows it, which is why “belt and road” is a thing.

Two thirds, you mean.

You gotta count the authoritarian followers and the ones top stupid to vote at all.

That fake “Bernie bro” mindset, you mean. No genuine Bernie bro failed to vote (D) in the general, by definition, because that’s what Bernie himself recommended.

Bullshit. We’ve been calling so many people Nazis precisely because they actually turned out to be Nazis. Every single fucking one of them.

If you didn’t see it, it’s because you were deliberately turning a blind eye.

Doesn’t matter; SCOTUS is controlled by “unitary executive theory” nutjobs now. The FCC can do whatever Trump wants it to do; no more, no less.

It’s as if plutocrats worldwide are teeing up fake wins to help Trump solidify his power because they see an opportunity to kill off liberalism once and for all.

And people like you don’t get that the worsening of all those problems will only accelerate under Trump’s corrupt plutocracy.

They say Biden had a part in the ban, though he said publicly he would not enforce it - what matters there, that AP doesn’t mention, is that the republicans hello humanitarian aide to Ukraine hostage back in April, saying they’d block unless the rock you ban was passed. Laying the groundwork for this hollow attempt to “blame Biden” and position trunk as a solution (to a problem he instigated and that republican think tanks engineered).

You’re making an important point here, but it’s somewhat undermined by the fact that your rogue auto[in]correct needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot.

@TheObviousSolution@kbin.melroy.org misspelled “incontinence.”

Noble gases are chemicals too, damn it!

The only thing that isn’t “chemicals” is literally just vacuum.

Oh wait we’ve already planted the seeds of that with what we’re doing here on the Fediverse. Carry on, carry on.

We don’t control the physical layer. We need wireless mesh networking, including long-range links.

“No algorithm” would load nothing at all. Everything is an “algorithm,” including listing all posts in chronological order.

Wanting “no algorithm” is like wanting food with “no chemicals” in it and not realizing that carbs, fats, proteins, etc. are “chemicals.”

That’s your own fault for not owning a Citroën!

Those sound like comments on a different topic, specifically the story about Paris’ improvements in air quality lately (because they built bike infrastructure and partially banned cars). I had to remove nearly identical comments in the !fuckcars@lemmy.world thread on it, for the same reason.

a hedge AND a fence

Cordless power tools are really good these days.

They don’t think of it that way in public, you mean. I’m sure they’re laughing their asses off behind closed doors, though.

No, CEO pay is a kickback/grift. CEO pay is decided by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors is made of CEOs of other companies. What they’re doing is all colluding to inflate each other’s wages and then using that as a justification after the fact to demand higher pay for themselves, lying that it’s due to “the market.”

The only shortage is a wage shortage.

For fascists, demonstrating blatant hypocrisy is a way to flex their power. They’re not ashamed of it; on the contrary, they revel in rubbing it in our faces.
