These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues.

UBI actually makes billionaires richer, even with higher taxes. Money trickles back up to them. The problem with UBI is that it redistributes power, and the powerful want all of their power. Wealth “needs” to buy power.

Trump is better at this than Musk…

It will be a beautiful necessary. Everyone will love the carnage. We will destroy America bigly. Like never before. The radical left democrats will hate it, but it will be glorious. Trust me.

They don’t vote as much. They trust the media telling them that oligarchy is bestest for them. Talking point like Harris wants to raise taxes, and Trump wants to lower taxes ignores the context that those raises/lowers are on the rich/oligarchs, and being lower information/invested voters they get deceived.

Well over 95% of the public does not understand the tax code well enough to pay attention to tax proposals, and many poor/simplest tax filings are given to external services. Scamming the public on tax policy, and especially in electoral propaganda/deception, it is very easy to sell stronger oligarchy power over a declining America as if that will improve America if it is shouted loud enough.

or white knight. In original, white had chance for mate on at least the previous 3 moves.

I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.

Regulating AI main purpose is to ensure all AI developers need to cooperate with US military/Empire. AI needs to provide disinformation against humanity if US empire is priority loyalty.

Police usually find vehicle owners quickly when they have plate numbers. If car/owner is not home, then they will often tell public to be on lookout. They could have said colour/model or picture of Volvo if that is all they have… maybe they have all the info they need. Maybe they ask public for help later. Vehicle ID is usually enough to catch someone quickly.

Not clear that vehicle has been ID’d from that story. Says Volvo, but no specifics known. Is ID from another source?

The US claim on TSMC, are based on it using ASML (Dutch) equipment which has patent licenses from US. I was just answering the puzzling US colonial power roots. There may come a point of challenging the colonial patent power, while still attempting to pay for the patent, or China’s “delete America” program may get more allies or rebellion from the colonies.

China/BRICS is a much bigger market than US, and economics means figuring out a way to earn from all sides is motivated. US promises to isolate itself even more under Trump, and there is a limit to how much it will be respected.

The reality of US politics is that it is an Israel first rulership, with all other oligarchist influence over politics allying with zionist rule because, most years, Israel gets less gifts than the other oligarchs.

Demonic neocon zionists such as Biden, still view Israel as a tool to control entire middle east, which happens to involve making some nations allies of Israel vs others enemies. Divide and conquer to control oil scarcity. Unlimited genocide threatens those alliances. Embarassing Biden through disrespectful genocide and ceasefire refusals is Netanyahu’s attempt to help Trump paint Biden/Harris as weak. Still, Biden was successful in limiting Israel’s missile strike on Iran. There should/could be threats based on election results against Israel. Blinken needs to fired either way.

There is actually an easy electoral victory possible if DNC takes an anti-zionist position. Any Israel loyal politician is disqualified for Israel first treason to American people. But that is only for future election cycles. Next 2 months can cause Israel defeat no matter election results. Force Trump to pay for rebuilding Israel, as punishment for American zionist betrayal of DNC.

Basically, if Zionists are going to support GOP for more genocide, DNC needs to shift away from it, and call it for the demonism that it is… unless they still pull out a win.

China’s overall refining volumes are down significantly since middle of year as EVs are surpassing 50% market share there. Also while NG use for electricity is down, they are converting a lot of heavy transport to use LNG. In the future this will transition to H2.

This is a year of major climate progress, and even the west is inching forward.

Another possibility is that the opposition parties unite to form the government - the largest one, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), won 148 seats up from 98 previously.

But that is a more unlikely scenario as Japan’s opposition parties historically have faced difficulty in uniting or convincing voters they are a viable option to govern.

Extremely strange conclusions. If they won the election there is no “convincing voters” step for parliamentary alliances. I don’t know if BBC is displaying outrageous favoritism, or if Japan is truly weird.

Both China and North America weaned themselves from coal mostly due to urban pollution concerns. India has the advantage of going straight to renewables instead of the intermediate NG route. One of the most successful EV promoting policies, that happens to be free, is cities restricting ICE license plates to certain days of the week.

EV models now cheaper than ICE vehicles even in the west is the best incentive of all. India foreign policy shifting towards closer tie to China and away from US is certain to accelerate Indian manufacturing sector/investment: https://asiatimes.com/2024/10/why-modis-shifting-away-from-us-toward-china/

I don’t know details of space contracts. Seems SpaceX has more capabilities, and so on merits, could be argued to get new contracts or replace underperforming contractors. It got paid to fix Boeing failure, for example, despite Musk being all in on GOP. The bribe level favouring Trump is sure to outweigh Bezos influence on top of merits.

“We need to have the firm support of our European partners, of our American partners,” Zourabichvili said.

Imagine if Trump said this after the election loss about Russian and Israeli partners?

Russian influence could have helped, but calling it propaganda is traitorous. Especially when embracing west’s warmongering demonism. It is possible to take a constructive opposition role that is in favour of expanding Georgia’s trade and liberalism without the ambition of turning it into another Ukraine. The nazi dynamics of Ukraine don’t exist to fake a liberal revolution, and CIA agencies have been kicked out of country.

Pro war people do it for love apparently, despite oligarchy profiting extensively and able to pour some trickle down on you, but no one can ever be against the human suffering and economic destruction, just at home, caused by warmongering evil without being paid to not support the demonism.
