Article 5 just requires a meeting to discuss actions. It is not as strong as it is made out to be.

Very sad Putin derangement syndrome in post.

Greenland is needed for US to attack Europe. He doesn’t want it to put Russian bomber/nuke bases there, he wants it out of Europe control.

Panama is obedient US slave for its sanctions on Russia. Panama is not threatening to remove sanctions before US and other colonies remove them. Russia does not do much transit through there. Pure propaganda to say US control of Panama canal is for Russian interests. It is to block Chinese use.

Russia is not interested in developing far away Canadian offshore resources. Like Greenland, there is no infrastructure there to bring them to customers/users. Russia has many decades of resources/development projects on its own sparsely populated Arctic waters. Explosive level of delusion to think Trump wants to give Russia access to “New USA” coast for projects.

War on Russia is extremely stupid and unwinnable. You don’t need to be paid by Putin to not understand the stupidity and evil. Much better to take over Canada, Europe and Americas for successful evil. The derangement level in this post deflects from the actual obvious evil of US empire, as if you morons should go fight Russia instead.

There are 3 key necessities for UBI/freedom dividends:

1. It redistributes power not wealth. Bad greed is oligarchy capturing your rulers. UBI weakens politicians discretion, because just paying everyone more cash instead of their corrupt ideas is “idiocracy proof”. Power redistributed to workers where everyone who wants a job gets 5 recruiter calls per day offering a better job. We all get greater power to say no to anything. Quality of life becomes exceptional without crimes of desperation, and the divisive hate that is easily manufactured from crime.

2. Redistribution means massive economic growth and overall prosperity even as it all trickles up to make the rich richer. “Velocity of money” is the key economic concept, but as income trickles back up to workers and owners, it means that the rich have to invest more to take all of our money.

3. The alternative is genocide. Oligarchy having all of the money and power, and AI/robotics to do work, means robocop detroit for Americans, and war on rest of the world to take their land. It doesn’t matter that far more wealth can be generated with more people to sell stuff to. The logic of pillaging America/world for oligarchs with ever decreasing tax rates on corporations and the rich means more relative wealth and power for the oligarchy and its political minions.

This 3rd point is similar to yours. Except its not just “This is America, if you don’t make money you’re a douchebag”, and the rich just give up on life, it’s “you need to be exterminated because you are useless to the rulership.”

That electricity is converted to heat when it’s used

a missing point is that fossil fuels use 3-4 watts of heat to make 1 watt of electricity or mechanical movement. Electric heat pumps can sometimes make 3-4 watts of useful enough (home) heat from 1 watt of electricity.

1. It would decrease temperatures because no energy emissions brings hope that natural carbon sinks can come close to reducing atmospheric CO2 levels. Hydrogen replacing heat in iron/steel and cement could be enough. But it needs to be quick.

2. Solar panels provide shade which can cool the ground/water beneath them. At night, they release heat faster than ground, with less of it absorbed by ground relative to air and upwards to higher atmosphere.

3. google ai does say that more efficient solar panels get less hot. 2-5C over “standard panels”, which I cannot source, but would assume its 2C per 5 %point extra efficiency.

Looks as though close to 40% is Europe. Putting a 10% export tax on EU destinations would be a slight revenue increase for them, in addition to increasing the price paid by EU. Even 5% export tax with EU sabotaging competition in their market would be a net profit increase.

Proof that EU is run by CIA agents who corruptly engineer buying the most extortionist energy from US only.

It’s more like the Jupiter 1 “fuel consumption” for 30mw output can be way overestimated.

only be 2x less efficient.

More technical description is combustion is 50% as efficient as a fuel cell. It is very significant difference.

ISIS was created “indirectly” by Ian Bremmer (“US governor of Iraq”) when he declared that no Baathist/Sunni should be permitted a government job. There is evidence of ISIS leaders being freed from US custody to become ISIS leaders, and funding allegations, and Israel saying “ISIS has never said anything mean about us”. ISIS attributed terrorism being against Russia and Iran since Oct 7, suggests a US alliance. ISIS approved rule, by US, over Syria is also evidence of US allegiance.

The US is first and foremost an anti-communist, anti-Russia, empire. There is no alliance they are unwilling to make to topple those aligned with their people’s prosperity and independence.

When Eisenhower warned of Military Industrial complex, US was already an oligarchy, and the warning was the declaration of defeat.

JFK assassination was deep state stuff, followed by more pandering to oligarchy with Regan. Media was always in charge of who won elections. That the veil of pretense for liberalism is removed doesn’t change the nature of US empire, and its autocracy over meaningful rulership. Trump simultaneously threatens the US empire’s covert colonization of world, while threatening to subjugate world even harder. Naked Oligarchy, and explicit anti-liberalism as treason, is a hallmark of incoming rulership through.

It’s a fair point, and typical thinking, but wrong. Deflation is better than inflation.

First, in general asset inflation vs goods inflation is usually different. Then for goods inflation, there is no good measure. Substitute goods exist.

Asset inflation definitely improves lives of the rich. Your “hoarding scare” can happen when savings/bond rates are higher than inflation. That is the genuine hoarding motivation. Lower interest rates supported by deflation supports more borrowing for more production/housing, with lower financing costs passed on to consumers. Either way, all money in the banking/financial system is hoarded money, and fractional reserve lends more the more demand for money there is. Deflation is better than inflation for this.

For goods, electronics and now EVs are deflationary. Your phone from 2008 cost the same as one from this year while having 100x less power/apps/value. While it can make sense to wait on tech/value improvements, competition/innovation creates work, and the deflation is the cause of that innovation, and there is a replacement cycle. Energy, food, clothing deflation would allow for higher consumption and also more work, though rarely would there be expectation of continued sustained deflation. Deflation is always technology or imported/slave labour costs. Never domestic wage reductions, unless slavery pressures can be manifested. Tariffs can stop it though.

Any economic competition creates a deflationary pressure. Deflation can be renamed value enhancement. When you favour inflation over deflation you are saying, “scarcity good, competition bad, innovation bad”

Jupiter 1 hydrogen gas generator engine

https://newatlas.com/energy/worlds-largest-pure-hydrogen-electrical-generator/

at 15kg per kw, this is 300x less efficient than a fuel cell for just electricity output. Distributed fuel cells can use waste heat for domestic hot water needs.

A better use of combusting H2 for electrical power generation, is changing the input valves on electrical generating NG turbines. That is just 2x less efficient than a fuel cell.

He’s dead right.

Humanist economics has a central pillar: abundance. Profit maximization requires scarcity, and geopolitical or other suppression of competition. In addition, higher interest rates prevent abundance, and funding of supply increases of farming production, and increase housing costs, insurance greed, and so affordability of other stuff.

The war on Russia led to higher interest rates in order to ration oil use, and employment, again limiting production.

Deflation is not even bad for the rich. Lower interest rates stabilize housing prices, and reduce government deficits, and improve financial asset values. Wages don’t generally go down, and they definitely don’t go down under policies of abundance.

Abundance means more work is available. Prices are lower letting workers and others afford more stuff leading to more abundance. UBI is the most important anti-slavery (also humanist) and prosperity (also humanist) policy alternative. It is inflationary, but makes high paying work that outpaces inflation easy to find.

The key about inflation vs deflation is how balanced income growth is relative to inflation. If it is only oligarchy making income/wealth gains, then you should address your complaints to that structure instead of the inflation.

it wasn’t factory installed properly… with enough bolts.

Not what article is saying. Plane was ordered to a runway to avoid bird strikes. Landing gear failed to fully come down. Pilot did declare mayday 2 minutes before touching down, so seems to have had the opportunity to abort landing, or jettison fuel, which would not normally be full enough on landing to burn everyone.

The actor being agitating is a us agent in this case. There is a ROK military industry too.

Most coutries’ oligarchy are not as well fed as to equivocate weapons mongering basis for corruption and war.

It’s inference from his platforming of us agenda. War with north is a big us weapon sales opportunity.

I think he’s a very good actor. This was a bad movie, and the part didn’t suit him, and he played it bad. Only worst villan role was Paul Giamatti in Rock and Rolla making bugs bunny jokes. His roles need to stay within nerdy limits.

You take your shit and eat it, then shit it again, and it ready for European democracy to think it tastes good.
