Drug trade: Afghanistan is the world’s largest producer of opium, which can be refined to make heroin.

The illicit drug trade isn’t just heroin, it’s moving opioids into India so they can be resold to the pharmaceutical industry for our legal-opioid epidemic.

China doesn’t need to produce the fast chips because their comparative advantage is in quantity manufacturing.

Are you okay?

Lame reply, do better next time. I worked hard on that.

Yeah, a business that exists to take losses. Sure.

So you have one hard drive out of raid, and 4 hard drives in raid, and the out of raid drive failed. Is it software raid or hardware raid? If it’s software raid then you need to know the original configuration. If it hardware raid then you should be good to go.

I hear this argument a lot and it’s a trick to get the libs to not support taxes against landlords. In this situation, rental rates are dictated by how much the market can bare because there just aren’t enough houses. Prices are set to the maximum so landlords would bare the cost of the tax rather than renters. If the taxation threat was real and long term enough, it would incentivize landlords to do something with empty units, rather than it not costing them anything to sit on it.
