The only small good you can potentially take from it is at least they want the land.
Otherwise it’d probably be Ypres 2.0

Areas where 99% of all plants still die remain off limits. For example, there are two small areas of land close to Ypres and the Woëvre where arsenic constitutes up to 176 grams per kilogram (18%) in the soil.
They just keep it parked in some kind of inflation proof financial construct until needed
Sometimes, othertimes they use it to just buy out european/australian/japanese/etc entities - since it’s hard to repatriate, they can use that as a sort of justification where some shareholders (Hedge Funds that want dividends now) might object.
Often not, no - it’s a big problem that these huge multinationals have is repatriating their foreign cash.
Apple used to have somewhere around 5x more cash in Ireland than they did in USA, because taxes.
In USA it’s illegal to Boycott Israel…
Outside of Software, I can’t think of anything I buy that’s American.
I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.
Tell him it cures Autism too.
Also is on the right, he’s part of the Right faction within labor and was one of the ‘faceless men’ that removed our best PM in living memory, Kevin Rudd.
Mot really, Labor did nothing over the last 3 years and get rewarded for that as well as Greens losing a few seats.
Best case scenario was minority Labor gov shared with the Greens.
He even said we (Australia) are ripping them off, even though we have a very lopsided Free Trade Agreement in their favour.
I’m hoping after the weekend AUSFTA is done for (it’s Election Day tomorrow!).
One of the bigger stipulations in AUSFTA is that we buy medicines from USA first and foremost, no matter the cost, if they make a medication. This is to cripple the PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme - basically fixed price medication in Australia for PBS listed medicines, The most any PBS listed medicine can cost is $31.60 or $7.70 if you’re elderly/disabled/unemployed/a carer for the previous 3) as Indian, Brazillian and even European pharma is so much cheaper than US.
Losing the shackles of AUSFTA is something I yearn for and Trump is stupid enough to allow it happen.
Possibly, Yes.
China has a mandate to become global superpower #1 by 2049, Mao made a promise to the Chinese people and his underlings made that a promise to him.
1849 - 1949 was China’s “Century of humiliation”
1949 - 2049 is China’s “Century of Development”
2049 - 2149 is to be the “Chinese Century”
China will have pulled no stops to make that happen, whilst undoubtedly this is Trump fumbling over and over - this might actually be beneficial as now they don’t need to prove their worth as a superpower through war.
They won’t say ‘No’ - they’ll rightly ask “What’s in it for us?”
oooooh iiiit’s a snaaaaaakkkke.
We celebrate Labour Day in Australia, but on different days since we have a large 4 day block of public holidays over Easter with ANZAC Day the following week.
In Western Australia it’s the 1st Monday of March.
In Victoria and Tasmania it’s the 2nd Monday of March
In South Australia, New South Wales and ACT is the 1st Monday of October
But without drivers, you can pretty much throw all of it away.
I’m not sure you could - since spectator safety is considered more important than driver safety. (both are important)
So unless it’s out in the middle of nowhere, with no spectators, no camerapeople, any pit crew would need to be in bunkers - just drones within a few kilometers of the track - it couldn’t happen either and such and event would probably be less exciting than watching someone else play the F1 PC/Console game…
All that means is extinction right now.
It’s the poorer classes that understand how to live in the world, but they’ll be the ones to die with the rich clueless gentry inheriting an earth they can ever live in.
We’ve got some large scale batteries in SA (funnily enough one of our first was built by Elon, with his ‘$100mil for 100MW in 100 days’ promise, which largely held- this was pre mask-off though) and it’s now a lot better than in was in 2016.
We’ve also got more power generating here, so less variable dependence on interstate links (which go back to Brown Coal powered Victoria, yuck)
I’m not implying there is a problem with their grid though, just stating a small problem can cascade very quickly in an AC grid, it doesn’t take a lot especially when a lot of us in the western world have been belt tightening for the last 10-15 years (less available backup capacity)
10 seconds of rotational momentum stored in turbines, such that if there is a skew in the balance of electrical supply:demand it will ‘sap’ that rotational momentum before the frequency starts starts dropping. Once that energy is depleted frequency will drop, in SA 1hz (from 50hz) is enough to trigger UFLS (‘Ultra fast load shedding’ - not fast enough for .6s momentum though) which will start dropping parts of the grid to try and keep at least part of it alive (restarting from a black system takes a lot longer than sequentially just adding de-energised parts back)
‘large spinny things’ - These don’t need to be big generators, they they can just be dyanmos (or better we start to move to a DC grid and just use capacitor banks.)
