Overall good points, but:

The most potent political lesson of the past four years is that politicians who preside over rising prices – regardless of their role in causing them – will swiftly feel the wrath of their voters. The public is furious about inflation, whether it comes from transient covid supply chain shocks, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or cartels using “inflation” as cover for illegal, collusive price-gouging.

GOP complaining about inflation and deficits is them finding something to complain about a strong economy. PP/canada conservatives complaining about carbon tax is supporting Ukrainian nazis while global diesel/home heating fuel refining was at maximum capacity. The Ukrainian support was common to all parties. They had to make up complaints.

Some other things Canada can do is export taxes on resources and energy. The US can’t replace Canada where it is needed in short term.

The big policy change is opening up FDI to China. Can put restrictions on natural resources to also invest in manufacturing using those resources, but treating the US as the only permissible option for investment is bad for Canadian companies and jobs. While Canadians are firmly programed in US foreign policy propaganda, if Trump/US adopts a “coercion until you accept being a territorial posession”, Canada needs to take a friendlier stance towards Russia, North Korea, China, and deprogram itself from US empire bs. It should continue advertising secession and provincehood to US states.

It’s much much worse than this, and saying 2070-2090 growth might be 1% instead of 2% or 2% instead of 4% is a fairly useless comment.

First, healthcare insurance in US is 16% of GDP while most developed countries are 11% or lower. Even with free/universal healthcare. Most countries have higher life expectancy. I cite this just to say that bringing US healthcare costs down to 11% of GDP is an automatic GDP reduction of 5%. But that GDP is BS. It is GDP generated by overspending and corruption.

Current effects of global warming on the US includes insurance costs. Where insurance is mandatory, it is GDP growth if artificially expensive vehicles and homes do not affect ownership. Expensive insurance is not an actual life benefit, even if it grows GDP.

Drought and flooding and hurricane events, grow GDP by replacing property, even if that too does not create life/wealth improvements. Food scarcity events will make food more expensive. GDP growth, life diminishment.

Cost of living related to survival needs, where even luxury homes and transportation are included in survival category, is the real impact of global warming. Your money left over after survival expenses is your “real net income”. Global warming impacts can be measured now, and what needs to be projected for near and decades future. These headlines are dumb and unpersuasive.

Cocoa and coffee are both currently impacted by global warming. Both are addictive substances, though coffee is more.

Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”

Then when you get the power you tell the plebs to make more money. “This is America. If you don’t make more money (for me), you’re a douchebag”.

St Lawrence is major. Hudson maybe not. Does get arbitrary.

is it possible for lemmy user to “federate them in”/include in single feed?

The room next door is an “assisted cancer suicide” personal movie, but has as punchline that US empire climate terrorism justifies suicide.

I don’t think it is forceful - Trump said it would be economic

we’ve been “common law married” for 100+ years. “You don’t get to eat unless I have the fuller authority given to me by official marriage” is an extortion that is violent/unwelcome. Marrying the US comes with having to pay its huge credit card debt.

they are also major ocean faring shipping lanes.

Can you do Canada? With Lake Winnipeg and Slave lakes big enough to count?

Vampires and humans are not known for enforcing laws against each other. Stake it before you get eaten rule. Eat then deny you were not invited in rule.

I’m not sure there is “binding magical power” in the food’s words, and if not, it’s not worth considering the food’s words. Not much recent history of “magical god intervention” stopping rule breaking, and there would need to be a “magical human+vampire governing interventionist god” there to supervise all interactions.

For the actual policy details not paywalled:

Nvidia:

“It makes no sense for the Biden White House to control everyday data center computers and technology already in gaming PCs worldwide, disguised as an anti-China move,” Finkle wrote. “The extreme ‘country cap’ policy will affect mainstream computers in countries around the world, doing nothing to promote national security but pushing the world to alternative technologies.”

the 50000 GPUs over 3 years per tier 2 country would seem to include consumer gamers from that country, perhaps buying older generation rtx30? gpus. 0 GPUs to China/others. Seems to make tier 2 worse than current China policies, while also “forcing Nvidia” to also only sell $2000 Blackwells in tier 2 countries.

Maybe a backdoor that is opened is to build all datacenters in Tier 1 countries, and then use the 25% allowance to expand to tier 2.

China’s “delete America” program is justified over this, and its not that far behind in single GPU performance, and ahead of rtx30. Just drivers and interconnection that need to catch up. Which doesn’t seem like an impossible task, especially in controlled hardware environments. National resources increasing/doubling for that goal is a likely response.

The whole national security justification and warmongering bent is troublesome. AI must serve war and US supremacy, and must be used against American people to ensure the supremacy.

Like all of the comments about much smaller emobility support.

A $300/ton carbon tax ($3/gallon gasoline), is the right amount. Cost of air capture of CO2 claims objectives below this. But there are far better options to reduce emissions instead, such as wind and solar. It is also enough to provide a $4000/year rebate to every Canadian just from average vehicle oil use.

The argument for dropping these incentives is that it has run out of budget. Carbon tax and dividend is a zero budget program. It is almost as much as the EV incentive, but you can support local transit/trains more, micromobility, and moving closer to work/travel destinations. Home energy is also a tax/dividend source, and dividend becomes large enough to invest in saving “taxes”.

With a $4-5k carbon dividend, you can also replace budgets for welfare/homeless programs to boost dividend/UBI by another $3k and solve homelessness, and work disincentives for those on welfare. Much higher “total” UBI becomes much more affordable, and empowering to people to make incentivized climate decisions, live without crime and divisiveness promoting hate.

other studies show people with mg/L of blood concentration

4.4ng/kg per week was the result from google “safe pfas levels”. 46 weeks gets to 1 mg.

It’s in the rain and every freshwater fish or lake water has it, such that even once per year fish consumption is not recommended. Safe level is 4.4ng per kg body weight/week. 300ng for adult male. Half kilo of fish will be 4800ng. Technically that is 3 fish portions per year, but you will get enough smaller amounts every day to breech limit with freshwater fish.

You have a point that it may still be needed for some stuff.

Can you not throw wine at anything?

Notice that I said Americans, not America

I don’t see any crticism of Americans on here, though I could not read your fine print, and I need to preface the rest of what I will say with I want the best for Americans.

And if I hear one more fucking person say that America only joined World War 2 after it was already over

That is an act that America did, and it was definitely motivated by ensuring control over Germany instead of USSR. No Americans were offered the freedom to not storm Normandy. Your lead comment of “Chinese/Russian agents” behind your angst is also something America would say.

That Americans/Westoids trust America in its justification for war on Russia and future war on China, that they trust America after an election where both parties conspired to elect Netanyahu’s favorite for genocide, is a problem Americans are too powerless to stop. A defining characteristic of Americans/westoids is being misinformed as a result of their trust of, and identity wrapped up in an evil America.

There is a strong likelihood that what you perceive as toxicity to Americans is toxicity towards those defending their trust of America.

ty. Comments are angry that this was posted, but it was worth reading.

The tldr of link to AI is that AI was useful in modeling proteins, and LLM predictivity has been used to predict DNA sequences. Fine, “closer” is clickbaity, but article gives overview of potential, and approaches focused on getting there.

I talked to extended family over Christmas, who had a positive outlook on life, and the common thread was positivity in their family, community, and personal/professional environments. They supported their government’s stance on responsible/consciensious views that war on Russia and China is awesome. They are climate conscious, and unsupportive of Israel, but don’t understand US pivot in climate destruction and genocide normalization being applied to far more people.

Ignorance is bliss, but pretend like the satisfaction of helping people struggle through their dystopia is a more important satisfaction than the structural dystopia. Change the things you can is a more positive analysis.
