Remember this when studies purporting to find a link between vaccines and autism begin to come out of the NIH.

Glorification of democracy and decentralization looks increasingly silly in a world where modern China exists.

I feel like this is a moot point since Apple also manufactures iPhones in India.

Give it time.

It looks like Huang got shafted by Trump and this is retaliation. The timeline of events is:

* Huang attends million dollar Mar-a-lago dinner

* Trump admin says it will allow H20 sales to China

* Nvidia announces $500 billion investment in US AI infra construction

* Trump admin 180s and bans H20 sales to China

* Huang unexpectedly shows up in China.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" continues to be an undefeated aphorism.

Several of the samples in the chart came from other countries and also tested positive.

It feels like the early days of Covid right now, where everyone is still living their lives normally but you know things are about to rapidly change for the worse.

He is 100% going to imprison his political rivals in El Salvador if he gets away with the Garcia case.

I too would like intelligent and qualified people to be president, but alas.

No, the people who buy these are going to be rich oligarchs, they won’t be held to the same standard as the PhD students that are being deported by the dozens.

> Notably, within minutes of DOGE personnel creating user accounts in NLRB systems, on multiple occasions someone or something within Russia attempted to login using all of the valid credentials (e.g. Usernames/Passwords)

Looks like they actually were compromised like many people suspected given their poor security practices.

Both share the same core goal too: to drag their countries back to the mid 20th century. Putin wants the Soviet Union back, and Trump wants 50’s America back. China is immune to this because that time period was uniquely terrible for them.

There’s something darkly funny about the US and Russia both facing economic obliteration in the same year caused by their own hubris.

Powell's term ends a year from now and Trump gets to appoint his successor. Trump will then have direct control over monetary policy.

I don't think China cares one way or the other whether the US backs down. I think they see this moment as the US going rogue and finally decoupling from them completely. Trump could remove all tariffs tomorrow and I bet they would still deny imports from Boeing and exports of rare Earths. We've reached an inflection point.

This is a very different term from 2017.

Powell’s term ends a year from now and then Trump gets to appoint his successor. We’re going to get hyperinflation.

Trump is beginning to tick all the boxes in the grievances section of the Declaration of Independence:

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcrip...

> He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

> He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, [...]

> For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

> For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

This may have been tempting a few weeks ago before Trump cratered the US economy and the value of the dollar.

Next month, possibly end of this month. Doesn’t sound like that’s the reason for these Microsoft layoffs though.

China is absolutely guaranteed to be the global hegemon going forward. The last week sealed it.

Congress needs to take the tariff ability away from Trump, this is fucking ridiculous.

I’ve noticed that the pro-trump posters have been quiet on this site recently, pretty funny.

China will be on Mars by the time a single truckload of ore rolls out of a US mine.

> test children’s lead levels and your own

Here's a tip for your peace of mind: if you suspect that some food you're consuming is high in lead, get tested first before removing that food from your diet. I was consuming a fair amount of dark chocolate when I first learned that it could contain high levels of lead, so I got tested before I cut it out of my diet. My levels were below the detection limit so I can be reasonably sure that any damage caused by lead consumption was minimal.

New Zealand

As the other commentor notes, if other economies are sufficiently dedollarized, the damage will be limited, and global dedollarization has already begun.

Hope you all have your passports and go bags ready.

Same purpose as the upcoming vaccine autism studies.

The Chinese won't call because they know they can weather the trade war. Xi will gladly watch the US immolate itself.
