I'm sick and tired of neoliberals creating loopholes that first of all suck, but second of all rely on common decency not to be exploited. The SECOND a conservative government gets elected they abuse the shit out of it. It's like the only goal of the liberal party is to pass legislation to make fascism easy when the conservatives take over. I guess it protects the conservative from backlash when they do a fascism?
I fucking hate this system.
43% of CONTACTS.... but like 10% of the value. The products we buy from America are basically the whole budget in a handful of contracts like the f35
I don't see this news out yet. I hope they're able to get something before the final decision.
This is an absolute bullshit take. We have a huge pile of evidence that Trump and Epstein raped tortured and killed kids. We also know that of the evidence that's hidden, it's hidden BECAUSE it includes the details of torture and killings. Your default position for a testimony that Trump was involved in rape, torture, or killing of kids shouldn't it be to suspect the witness is lying and has ulterior motives, and that Trump is innocent. There is no reason to doubt the witness, they're describing witnessing exactly what we already know to be true!
All cybertrucks were sold when we knew Elon was fucked in the head though. That's only valid for other Tesla models.
Well, first dealing with a towed car isn't "no consequences". Second, right now this guy barely has any consequences for the people he fucked over, and the people he fucked over just have to figure it out themselves, at least with the free taxi thing everyone gets to their destination at a reasonable time and the guy who caused the delay pays for it.

Back when email was new, server storage was tiny and you downloaded your emails frequently. That's when this law was passed.
Nowadays with gmail etc... no one downloads their emails. They stay on the server forever, and government agencies are free to take them without a warrant.
When you invest money back in the company that's either R&D or capital expenditure, both are tax deductible and don't count as profit.
"I'm a Conservative and I'm not a traitor," he said.
The list of people who can say that is vanishingly small these days. I doubt he can authentically say that after the way conservatives have voted in the past few years though.
If you seriously think the doctor's notes about the patient's symptoms don't include the doctor's diagnostic instincts then I can't help you.
The symptom questions ARE the diagnostic work. Your doctor doesn't ask you every possible question. You show up and you say "my stomach hurts". The Doctor asks questions to rule things out until there is only one likely diagnosis then they stop and prescribe you a solution if available. They don't just ask a random set of questions. If you give the AI the notes JUST BEFORE the diagnosis and treatment it's completely trivial to diagnose because the diagnostic work is already complete.
God you AI people literally don't even understand what skill, craft, trade, and art are and you think you can emulate them with a text predictor.
LLM gives correct answer when doctor writes it down first.... Wowoweewow very nice!
I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.
It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!
I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.
The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line
Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions
So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?
We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.
So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!
If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.
They really think we're idiots.
It's not. They may have the same goals but one side is MUCH FASTER .... I suppose the main question is "are you an accelerationist?" Or would you rather bad things happen more slowly and infrequently?
