@purplehead5@AmyMcGrathKY That’s straight up wrong. Brookings says essentially no evidence of Chinese transshipment through Canada - https://t.co/3BI5QsRkCG
@GluppShittoo@UBERSOY1 Interesting. So this metric is just hh-level spending? I’m not sure what the info value of that would be wrt other metrics - just to tell macro planners when folks are spending down their savings?
@usgeneral25@USForeignAssist You are wrong. Many of ISIS’ most senior leaders are in north east Som and Al Shabaab is Al Qaeda’s most powerful offshoot. Meaningful global footholds for both terrorist orgs. And the govts lack of reach has meaningfully affected global trade in the past https://t.co/0gqhx7xiih
@never99happy @melissamiller33@USForeignAssist The results have been people avoiding starvation w food asst like WFP gives. And what other US funds are you talking about you said we “gave” over $100B
@usgeneral25@USForeignAssist "The church" has never even attempted to do this (and couldn't). Clearly you do not care about innocents starving, but Som is on the Horn of Africa. That's a major trade route. If starvation leads to the Som govt's collapse then trade is threatened. Keep humanitarian aid flowing.
@never99happy @melissamiller33@USForeignAssist This is not even remotely close to being correct. $1B Was given in total for FY24 and 25. Implies $15B over 30 years. Real amount likely lower than that
@LPTN1776@SADDAY_EVERYDAY@GovPressOffice Man he literally paid an undercover cop $80k in bitcoin to kill one of his employees. The bitcoin ledger still shows the transaction
@realEstateTrent True - unemployment rate for new grads 6%, full job market 4%, and all college grads more like 2.5%
Having a 4 point gap bw recent and established w/ degrees isn’t anything new, but new grads being higher than the nat average for full job market definitely is
@NiallGlynn@HalSinger $7.3B / 7 million NYC residents / 15 years = $69 in max benefits per resident/year. With the big assumption it runs as well as Kroger. Is that worth the risk it isn’t nearly as efficient as a national chain?
@AndrewCFollett@viciykevin@KelseyTuoc The cost of climate-related weather events in the US has gone up more than 10x in the past 50 years - the value of research into these areas goes up as their impact goes up
