All of the examples shown here are going to do exactly that. They are rich and higher dams and levees are a lot cheaper, then to rebuilt then to rebuilt on higher ground.

EDIT: Sorry the Bahamas might not do that. It is a national park, so nobody lives there.

I dislike the all or nothing aspect of a lot of them. It is hard enough to nail a single aspect of life. So imho it is better to have different groups for different aspects. As in you might have a housing co-operative, a co-operative work place, a utility co-operative, a bike sharing group and so forth. That makes it possible to not go and avoids being stuck in a group, which you really do not like. As in it is much easier to move to another place, then to do that and find a new job, organize transport and so forth.

Just look below. Pretty clearly to call the other person a racist.

The irony obviously being that this is about the interior design of the White House and calling it “designed by a dictator from the middle east” is about as bad of an insult as “designed by a king from europe”. It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.

When you read the description “dictator from the middle east” and you believe that it is an attack on Asians in general, you do not understand that not everybody from the Middle East is Asian or a dictator.

If you have nothing to fear from racism, then being a refugee means that you are clearly NOT a fascist.

The apocalypse being an angry mob trying to make them pay taxes. So basically the Antichrist for somebody like Thiel.

Looks real, but it was a snapshot. Mostly it is worse.

Cars, heating(homes and industry), steel production and so much more.

There are differences in propaganda. A lot of especially Western propaganda(but not exclusivly) works by selecting the stories and details, but what is being reported is generally true.

Nation states are by their very nature genocidal. Just look what happened to the Jews and Israel. They were the victim of a genocide, so the international community gave them a nation state. Now they commit a genocide. That is not the only case of that happening. Genocides follow the creation of nation states all across the world. By definition a nation state is meant for only one nation. So a nation state is always racist. Just as is the idea of ethnicity, which inherintly leads to racism.

Also do not look at the donor list for the UNRWA, if you want to believe the recognizing Palastine is needed to send aid. Indeed I find it obvious to help fellow human beings, without having to recognize state or ethnicity. Not doing so, seems to me to be a massive problem.

Anarchist are not human…

In Tesla stock, which hopefully collapses, but the markets are crazy.

They did not increase oil production to replace Russian oil, after the full scale invasion of Ukraine. That was something the US really wanted, so hard to say they are in the pocket of the US. The simple honest answer is that the entire Gulf leadership has no problem with large scale human rights violation and starving thousands. They did it themself in Yemen and currently partly in Sudan.

It would be so ironic if MBS raped girls together with Barak the former prime minister of Israel. The most fucked up way to make peace in the Middle East imaginable.

Right now the only thing keeping the US economy strong are speculative assets, like stocks. As soon as that drops, the US is in a world of trouble. There seems to be a housing crisis brewing in the south, with prices droping like crazy. At the same time international investors are leaving the US and the general economy is not doing too well. Unemployment goes up and tariffs raise prices.

The US going down is probably going to crash the global economy as well. China has built up a massive corporate debt bomb right now. When you are pushing twice the level of the US, you really have a problem. Europe is not doing to great either, with the Ukraine war still hurting and debt still being a massive problem.

So yeah, we might very well be in a recession right now, but just do not know it.

Sure, the US will have cheap workers, but high skilled migrants will prefer other countries. This is not just going to hit farm workers after all.

By detain you mean this right:

Currently at a few percent EVs there is a pretty decent charging infrastructure around. There is no reason that would not be the case for combustion engine cars, especially since it has been built already.

However what we will see is refineries being shut down, as they have to run at at least 80% capacity for technical reasons. So above 20% EV sales starts causing trouble for them. Especially in markets like Europe, where car adoption is not going to go up a lot. Obviously exports are an option as well, but to a limited extend. There are also not that many refineries around. The EU has less then 100 for example.

Strategic autonomy is a huge reason to go green and this is just one example.

Audi does not have a US plant and if they built one it is unlikely to produce EVs given how few are sold in the US.
