Adam Tooze just gave an address in Zurich and talks about this very question.. apparently China is very well aware of this issue and is currently "working on it"

Despair is useless

They know exactly who is to blame. But that would involve some degree of self-reflection so, on with the show.. i guess.

Not really, unless you directly purchase the shares, you get no proxy voting rights on corporate governance.

When you have an investment account, do you know who does take your money and hold the corporate governance rights? The fund managers.

OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don't know how "good" it is.. mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.

Now, if only enterprise glass GPU's weren't so power hungry and expensive..

ah yes.. "I was only following orders" - Otto Adolf Eichmann

Maybe real estate?

Just as Chris Hedges predicted.

Is this the same bunch of people that wanted to make solar roads/bike lanes too?

I could see a solar road working with some kind of passive heating medium circulated underneath but even then, the maintenance on that would be a nightmare. We can barely maintain all the roads we have already, and that's just goopy rocks and grading.

"Wait.. did you just eat both loaves at once??!"

I tried to get this up and running back on my K6-2, unfortunately I couldn't work out how to get the X server running with my 3Dlabs FireGL Pro card at the time.

When you're voting in a one-party system with two right wings, nothing changing is the expected outsome.

My general opinion on China over the past few years have evolved to "OK they aren't perfect, but at least they seem to be trying, instead of actively making everything worse."

No.

Save Him.

Ah, that explains why everything felt pretty off with the whole thing.

Stand-up scooters are allowed (they're also terrible because you can't see past them, and their tiny wheels mean their riders are constantly swerving to avoid irregularities in the road surface).

Mopeds (what I was referring to) are absolutely not allowed in bike lanes, they must have full license plates and the drivers must be also licensed.

Do you want yellow jacket protests? Because that's how you get yellow jacket protests.

Seriously though... it might not have been so extreme had macron not had his neoliberal head up his own ass and actually made the transition possible for rural drivers.

The same thing happened in NYC.. along with the dipshits riding in bike lanes, running pedestrians over and generally normalizing an absolute clusterfuck that's going to take a generation to bring back into line.

After learning motorcycles, all I can say is that maybe scooters aren't such a great idea. Rentals? Keep them to Class 2 E-bikes (MAXIMUM). Anything else? You need to understand that these things can hurt people and they are a privilege, not a right.

Perfection.
