the corporate greed angle is justifiable because some part of the inflation can absolutely be attributed to the maxing out of the global supply chain.
our supply chain is optimized to perfection, it means companies consciously made the decision to ship US grown cotton overseas to Asia for processing and manufacturing into clothing to reduce cost. This back-and-forth takes time and eats up supply-chain resources.
- US midterm is coming up in november.
- One of Biden's major election point was combating Covid and curbing infections.
- This has largely been a catastrophic failure. More Americans have died from Covid under Biden than under Trump (not that it matters)
So, the left media will now begin a year long campaign down playing domestic covid severity, and make sure that Covid will NOT be a major talking point for the 2022 elections.
Edit: republican will 100% pull a "i-told-you-so" move in their campaign trails. I'm Canadian and our government (even conservative learning province/state government) is still using the partial lockdown as a mean to curb infection, it's very very obviously NOT working.
What will be really interesting is just how the medical community is so detached from the political community. I understand you shouldn't bring politics into science, but you also can't blind yourself and optimize for only one metric.. everything is a trade-off.
this basically becomes a huge prisoner's dilemma, no body in charge wants to look bad.
Author pointed to the 13 year time line and pretended the "internet" didn't also take 20 years for it to go from lab to actual wide spread public use.
NFTs in theory, are no less productive than fine art. And fine art (or IRL collectibles) are a well accepted form of diversified asset.
I'm not bought into the overall hype though. Some toots web3 will change human nature, as if "decentralized" decision making would magically make people less lazy and less selfish. I doubt that.
too early to tell is the best we can do right now.
However, following your argument of human rights, would you cut diplomatic ties to Russia in similar fashion? Who's your largest trading partner?
> “The salvation I see is this is a time when we can hit the clock and we’ve got 30, 40, maybe 50 days to get the congestion out and reset the game board to zero,” the company executive, who didn’t want to be identified for fear of retaliation by terminal operators, told FreightWaves.
That's one way to solve the problem.
What central banks and feds need to think about is, if they raise rates to combat high inflation, will the higher rates induce a coma in the borrowing market, thus overcorrecting the market into a high supply/low demand situation.
While your argument is logically sound, it's not the whole picture
every if err != nil; return err let's me mentally draw a line in the sand and not worry about exception handling for code above that line. It lets me start fresh and restart my mental model with the line of codes below the error handling block.
it doesn't take years of writing Go to understand this, all you need is a open mind to how Go does things.
New crypto ETF is also right around the corner. There will definitely be futures on that.
I think it’s correct? Now I’m confused too
Edit: yup was wrong. Read reply for right calculations.
both are "artistic" to a certain degree, completely useless after the purchase and initial exchange.
Some estimate maybe only 10% of Chinese individuals pay tax. Individual taxes account only about 8% of China's tax revenues.
Bulk of the tax burden comes from consumption and business.
I'm all for that. If I make a million dollars but I live frugally and invest my money, why should I pay 50%?
Sure the argument for individual taxes are about social wellness but how do you justify that when businesses are avoiding billions of tax legally.
Make no sense.
You have no idea how amazing that feels.
Why not try spending 25% of your work day on a business project you love? Make it profitable and do it full time.
Lots of city dead space, roof tops, useless alley ways that can be turned into gardens that provide simple food source
Im sure we would have had this talk when on-premise transitioned to the cloud. Same arguments apply
