So much for ethics and the rule of law. Things happen is the new defence.

Trump just did what he does and blundered into it. Israel probably wanted a forever war and has done well so far.

And the actual cost to consumers as climate change proceeds will be? Already food production has been impacted, insurance costs are going through the stratosphere, people are dying of heat and floods. Obviously these don’t matter.

That’s the problem with intel, political appointees don’t understand source and method vulnerabilities.

Surely the data centres should pay for their utilities including electricity!

Donny has done heaps for the electrify everything cause.

Aren’t these the pair that gave us the war with Iran? Or was that they can’t find a way to end it?

Good chance that Trump is destroying the US and global economies anyway. There is no other explanation for the absurd chaos he’s caused.

The rest of the world wonders when this non war will end so that the painful economic consequences will stop.

I waited quite a while before buying an EV. The wife wanted a Tesla but I couldn’t stomach buying from Musk so we have a Chinese one. Cheaper so it wasn’t that much of an investment and comparable to most non EV alternatives.

As they sell them in Europe we can be sure that that meet the more stringent European standards too. The idea that Chinese vehicles are all crap has passed its use by date.

Isn’t it just that when the Chinese recognised that they needed to dominate and innovate in the car market all the other manufacturers doubled down on doing business as usual? That the Chinese have a dynamic, robotic car industry with a 1 billion person market is really going to make it difficult to compete.

The Chinese market isn’t perfect by a long stretch as they don’t respond to market signals very well hence the over supply of ICE vehicles because their population has gone EV. That means they have a lot of ICE vehicles on their hands. Especially since Trump closed the Straight of Hormuz.

Just look at the isle space for soft drinks in the supermarket. Even the zero sugar ones are bad. Can’t see Albo taking this one on.

Yep, it affects everyone.

But they are in America, North America to be precise. I assume what is referring to is the US.

Better candidates and parties would be great however the fact remains, if people don’t vote then they voted for the winner. Fairly simple but there appears to be a cultural issue about choosing only to vote for someone they like rather than not getting someone they hate. If voting is the only tool available for change and people don’t use it……

Not much, talk to others about the importance of voting. In a system that has been rigged there isn’t a lot that can be done except vote and civil disobedience.

Voting would be a start.

It’s just symptomatic of the destruction of social and diplomatic capital (pardon the cold calculating economic word) that this old demented fools is engaged in. His economic destruction and greed and theft is another story.

There’s a TV show on the ABC in Australia called Planet America that analyses presidential elections for Australians. Since Demented Don’s ascension it hasn’t stopped yet. Just too much to discuss.
