Learned the hard way that "upgrading" to a more expensive piece of audio equipment with much better specs, doesn't bring the joy that I thought it would. In fact, I liked to older equipment better, so I guess I'll be downgrading back to what I used to have here in the near future? (lol)

China is becoming a renewables superpower And is reaping the benefits, exporting tech to the rest of the world and cutting it's fossil fuel imports Reform UK want to do the opposite, putting all of their chips on a dying energy sector Reform would put the UK in reverse gear

China's green energy boom could spell the end of the fossil fuel age
China has put its economic might behind renewable technologies in a desire to stop relying on imported fossil fuels.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Many voters view the Democratic Party as weak, and elite centrists want that to mean "too feminine" because they gender strength as masculine. But people view the party as weak because it so rarely fights for the values it claims to hold.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

One of many problems with tariff policy is that big businesses have a direct phone line to Trump, he can dole out exemptions as favors or withhold them as extortion, meanwhile small businesses/consumers just have to bare the costs of all this.
