The not alone condition does not apply if manager is with them

1. take asshole
2. take bore, but return with asshole
3. take idiot
4. take asshole.

Step 1 rank all of your problems.

step 2, all problems above rank 99th, ain’t one.

Chinese EVs are effectively banned in US with 100% tariff, and a hateful disposition. The higher end chinese cars could compete with Ferarri/Lamborghi segment though, even at 100%.

AI is a big help here. Including at current tech level. But why bother the expense or judicially-complaining process of arresting them, if you can arrange their next Amazon electronics order to explode?

Yes. It all depends on how much of it leaks, and how you amortize the energy requirements for specialized containers, liquifaction, and ships.

Specifically, it is LNG that can risk out emitting coal, largely depending on how far it is shipped vs how close competing coal is.

US rulership is rigged to serve Oligarchist/zionist/warmongering mandate. US colonies rigged to serve CIA/Oligarchist alliance. The first obstacle to democracy is do you need the current rulership structure’s permission for it?

The only alternative to that permission is secession or those “Freedom cities” that are unfortunately backed by technofascists and “radical zionists”. Secession requires permission to not be genocided. One way to obtain that permission is by paying for “protection tribute” from powerful neighbours, and former slave master. Paying tax without receiving any services in return whatsoever. This can also be done by giving your “protection master” bonds for free, or if they buy bonds, a very high interest rate. Or simply give them a percentage of tax revenue. If they break their protection promise, you are allowed to cancel the bond. You can buy protection from multiple parties including nuclear weapon strikes against your other protectors “aggression”.

Freedom cities while somehow marketed as fascist tax havens are opportunities for better democracy too. Crypto currency systems have very good democracy elements to them. Can have UBI/freedom dividends supported by a tax system that is based on half “density based property taxes” (Georgianism), and half local sales taxes, and global income taxes. This is a non slavery based prosperity system, that eliminates crime and homelessness. Verifying residency is only requirement, and regular payments for groceries and rent through crypto can be proof enough. Those who live in less than average square footage, spend less than average, and earn less than average have a net tax refund/subsidy. Those who earn more enjoy a peaceful city with massive amenities. Hedonist freedoms would generally attract more residents than they repel, IMO.

Direct democracy, with revocable delegation rights, is easy under several crypto systems. Delegating your stake to a validator gives them the right to vote on any proposal/issue in your place. But if you vote on that issue, then it overrides your share of the delegate’s vote. Residency verification can make voting 1 resident=1vote instead of usual crypto 1 coin=1vote. This allows you to trust someone overall to represent you, while still representing yourself whenever you want. You can also change delegates at any time. I get how your “randomly selected leaders” also avoids oligarchist beholdment, but after they are elected/appointed, they will make new friends very quickly, who will explain how their self enrichment can also make America great again with their media help.

If the US government/President authorizes fascist freedom cities, what could be the rationale against turning your existing city into a pure democracy freedom city? Or at least applying for one of the 10 “spots” with a real democracy governance proposal that is still a tax haven from US empire costs, and carry implicit protection costs (for freeish) by being offered.

Freedom convoy grew into something much bigger than Truckers protesting about vaccine mandates to cross the border. They had a point that they work in very isolated conditions, but covid freaks were opportunistic, and US/right wing funding to make it blow up was plenty.

That enabled some of the firms and companies contracted by NEOM to gain a tremendous amount of profit from their contracts, one example cited being the consulting firm McKinsey & Company, which reportedly earned over $130 million annually for its services and involvement in NEOM’s planning and implementation.

This is how nuclear reactor bidding works too. Low estimates so that they are approved, then get “us” to pay for cost overruns.

This would make housing cost per person an average of $1M. ie $3M per 3 bedroom unit. Before profit from selling the units, but excluding commercial rents.

Yes, I understand that more mining could be done, but what I was saying is that I don’t think it could be sustained to the level of silicon. Bismuth is a rare mineral, and 100 times more expensive than silicon.

Not an expert, but high purity bismuth seems 6x more expensive than high purity silicon. I could be wrong.

they would only be able to tackle a very small fraction of that.

It would be for ultra premium performance chips, which China has a low share currently.

I understand more bismuth mining would be needed to support price stability, but scale could mean lower prices. China has special needs in that innovation is required to escape US tyranny of global IP.

They have a ton of stuff to figure out still. Seems a longshot, tbh.

I think they peaked in 2023 except for one single practice: They are processing coal into liquid fuels instead of using for electricity. This is a high emission process. Final numbers for 2024, I haven’t seen, but they will be extremely close to 0, and that coal to fuels process is enough to put it on wrong side of 0.

China is the only country in world that tracks actual total growth in emissions. So it is a goal.

Xinxiang propaganda is a politicized process that involves shit talking 100% against China more than truth about any current oppression.

BYD, like most Chinese EVs are manufactured with extensive robotics. They are not manufactured in Xinxiang. Xinxiang mining activity is mostly for solar panel inputs. Not EVs.

Seagull is a good car, but it is ultra small… The major achievement is a $300/kwh price for just the battery in China. Would be easy to pay for car just from V2G or V2H+solar value. Ultra small also means the highest efficiency, and range charged per hour.

There are a lot of cars that are model 3 “sized”/comparable. BYD seal is $30k in China ($2000 less), and more expensive than Tesla in Germany. It might be a better car to boot, but its not helpful comparing Tesla to Seagull prices.

27% growth in solar, 8% growth in wind is actually comparable to other 2 big regions.

China 28% solar, 18% wind (from much larger base though. They achieved decline or near zero growth of fossil electricity while massive demand increase)

Europe 4% solar, 37% wind. Also larger base that saw 10%+ reduction in fossil electricity. Still demand increase.

quick lookup showed pure bismuth at $300/kg. That is not too expensive to make chips, but it would divert demand away from other uses, and we’re gonna need a bigger mine. China will find a way, and likely cost reductions will result from volume.

Still, this is a couple of years (wild optimism and resources devoted to it) at least away from Chip products.

Central banks obfuscate this code a bit, but its all about having the right printer hooked up.

AMD uses opencl as its high level API. Nvidia, Intel also supports it. Chinese cards might too. Very few LLMs use high level APIs such as CUDA or OpenCL
