En tykkää yhtään siitä, että Suomessa harrastetaan ravintolashoppailua ihan noin vain yksilökeskeisesti oman mielipiteen perusteella.

Tässä asiassa pitäisi mieluummin luottaa julkisen sektorin määräämiin ravintolapiireihin. Ihmisen täytyy käydä juuri siinä ravintolassa, jonka piiriin kaupunki on hänet määrännyt asuinpaikan perusteella.

Minäkin teen niin. Oma ravintolani on eräs fine dining -paikka tässä naapurissa, joten ei tulisi mieleenkään ravintolashoppailla missään muualla.

Jokainen ravintola Suomessa on tasan yhtä hyvä, koska niitä kaikkia koskee elintarvikelaki ja vaatimus hygieniapasseista. (Lisäksi voimme antaa erityistukea Raiskin Rasva & Roiske Baarille, jotta sinne saadaan enemmän henkilökuntaa.)

Ravintoloiden segregaatiota on ehkäistävä. Tarvittaessa muutamme ravintolapiirien rajoja uudelleen.

Americans now pay more in taxes than they spend on food, clothing, and shelter combined.

Think about that.

Government has become so big and bloated that taxes cost more than life's basic necessities. Every American taxpayer should be outraged.

[Lyn Alden @LynAldenContact]

Wait, you're telling me that running $2 trillion deficits, introducing new taxes on goods, and starting a fresh war in the Middle East, has not been effective at getting the cost of living down?

Around age 23, the average person falls off what researchers call the "humor cliff"; we begin to smile and laugh less and less.

The average 4-year-old laughs 300 times a day.

The average 40-year-old, only 4.

A physicist put 22 cars on a circular track and asked every driver to hold a steady 30 km/h, about 19 mph. No lights, no lanes, no obstacles. Within a minute the cars started bunching, and soon a full stop appeared out of nowhere, then drifted backward around the loop.

This was Yuki Sugiyama at Nagoya University in 2008. His team spaced the cars evenly on a 230-meter ring and filmed them from overhead. For a while the flow stayed smooth. Then the tiny differences no human can avoid, one driver a hair slower, the next a hair too close, began to feed on themselves.

One car eases off slightly. The driver behind sees the brake lights, reacts a fraction of a second late, and brakes a little harder to be safe. The next driver brakes harder still. A dozen cars back, someone is stopping dead. The squeeze rolls backward through the line like a compression running down a Slinky, and it keeps going long after the first driver has sped up again.

Car count was the tipping point. With fewer than 22 on that track, the bunching sorted itself out. At 22, a jam formed every time. Engineers call that a critical density, the point where a road holds just enough cars that one small tap can snowball into a standstill.

These waves are eerily consistent. Measured on highways around the world, the jam rolls backward against the traffic at roughly 20 km/h, and that speed barely shifts from one country to the next. Different drivers, different roads, same number.

The same setup later became the cure. In 2017, a US team rebuilt Sugiyama's ring with 22 cars and turned just one of them into a self-driving car running a program to smooth its own speed. That single car soaked up the small slowdowns instead of passing them back, and the waves died. Fuel use across every car fell by up to 40 percent. Fewer than 5 percent of the vehicles had to be automated to steady the whole group.

In 2022 the idea moved onto a live highway. Researchers ran 100 cars with cruise control guided by AI into the morning rush on Interstate 24 near Nashville, mixed into normal traffic. Early numbers pointed the same way: a small share of smoother-driving cars, up to 40 percent less fuel for everyone around them.

The jam you sat in this morning likely had no crash and no cause you could see. It was a few hundred drivers, each braking a moment too late.

Tämä on yksi sairaimmista käppyröistä koskaan.

Eläkemaksujen kasvu vuosikymmenten saatossa.

Ihmettelen miksi kukaan ei ole suuttunut ja miksi asiaa ei korjata, kun joku on tehnyt laskelmat näin rankasti pieleen.

Sosialismi on näköjään purrut. Suomen 16 - 34 vuotiaat ovat mediaanivarallisuuksia vertaamalla Euroopan vähiten varakkaita.

Vaikka Suomessa on Euroopan korkeimpiin kuuluvat verot ja korkein tai korkeimpia työttömyysasteita, on Suomessa palkkataso kuitenkin kohtuullinen ja erilaisia palveluja tarjotaan julkisista varoista.

Tätä ei siis voi selittää pelkästään työttömyydellä ja veroilla. Suurin selittävä tekijä onkin todennäköisesti loppumaton usko kaikkivoipaan hyvinvointivaltioon, eli päiväkodista asti tapahtuva indoktrinaatio prosessi on selvästi tuottanut tulosta. Nuoret eivät siis toisin sanoen ota vastuuta itsestään, vaan ulkoistavat vastuun valtiolle, eli suomeksi sanottuna kaikille muille. Mitäpä lottoatte mitä tapahtuu kun ylivoimaisesti suurin osa kansasta toimii tällä mentaliteetilla?

Tulevaisuuden kannalta tämä on yksi huolestuttavimpia tilastoja mitä on vastaan tullut.

BREAKING: US M2 money supply surged +$247.8 billion in May, to a record $23.1 trillion.

This marks the largest monthly increase since May 2021.

Year-to-date, M2 has soared +$698.6 billion, the largest January to May increase in 5 years.

Money supply now stands $1.3 trillion above the March 2022 peak.

Since 2000, money in circulation has grown at an average annual rate of +6.3%.

US money creation is accelerating.

China’s is seeing unprecedented money supply growth:

China's M2 money supply is up to a record ~240% of GDP, the highest among any major economy in the world.

This metric has surged +100 percentage points since the 2008 Financial Crisis.

Over this period, China’s M2 money supply has surged +500% in Dollar terms.

By comparison, the country's gold reserves and total FX reserves have risen +100% and +60%, respectively.

To put this into perspective, Japan's M2-to-GDP ratio, the next highest, stands at ~185%, while the US sits at ~70%.

China's monetary expansion is unlike anything seen among major economies.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.

This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.
