Because of Musk's alignment with the 'Christian' right which has tight links with the brains trust behind Farage - the European Research Group (with its religion well hidden to outsiders - and invisible to journalists). This is a global Christo-Fascist project, little diff. at this point between the governments of about 20 nations.
Appeasement never works, Von der Leyen of all people should know this. Europe will pay dearly for this unless they break the promise.
Do any Americans really believe the other side pays the tarrif?
I'd say war (and the war complex) - but modern war depends on oil, and often capturing oil is the reason for a war. Wasting (insread of reusing) material is next, then crypto.
Pop. needs to fall back to ~1.7B as that's Earth's human natural carrying cap. - as determined by the pre-Haber Process natural Nitrogen pool. Vaclav Smil, SciAm, July 1997, 76–81. More relevant than ever.
Synth. N is not a solution as is isotopically diff. and harms plant cell structure in our food.
There is no magic ‘carrying capacity’ number, except perhaps a couple hundred million before mechanized society and fossil fuels. And those times were far from pretty.
And synthetic fixed nitrogen is not isotopically different in some meaningful way. And even if it was, that isn’t damaging anything.
Synth. N results in plant cells (specifj ally sieve plates) being weaker, for instance roof thatching from urea-fertilised crops lasts a tenth of the time of organic.
Synth N's different isotope form is also a key way of determining organic food certification.
Many apparently affluent people are posing - with a wealthy backer, or using debt and or crime/fraud to maintain hold the pose. Their life ways are a tell, a flag of their core inadequacy. Persue a real life instead. Also nothing inherently wrong with Socialism e.g. look at the Mondragon Corp.
I was expecting the worst, but this seemed fairly accurate. It even calls out conspiracy theories, by name.
It's embarrassing that we have to have a federal government website to correct an obviously foolish conspiracy theory, but at least this isn't (yet) affirming a conspiracy. Unlike some other branches of government.
Why does US news always use language alluding to other nations hoarding or restricting supply of things? when the shortage is a manufacturing choice as Sm exists in many countries. "For more than a decade, the United States has failed to develop an alternative" - that should've been the title.
