@Charlie84437644 @IsabellaMWeber Hm, seems you are right

@Charlie84437644 @IsabellaMWeber The us has to subsidize beyond what is needed to farmers as they are a powerful voting block

@SamRoggeveen In a wartime scenario, this would be very worth it

@Ghostprry @curtis90335 @Mankosmash @cremieuxrecueil Immigration generally speaking is very selective. Outside of refugee policies

@IAmAkinade @cremieuxrecueil Natural diamonds come with a certificate saying it's natural. This has a premium that is accepted by some consumers. Physically they're the same.

@surmage @Molson_Hart This is an inversion of reality. Chinese economy is much more competitive than the us. See the delivery war

@Megatron_ron Serious question,

Isn't this just a research/scientific project? I thought we didn't have the theoretical knowledge necessary to actually do fusion yet

@PAstynome As long as the us is the global hegemon, the usd will be on top.

@morris_que14 Isn't this just entirely them not being in china?

@olleaxe @Bluebearmonkey @teortaxesTex Your companies will be outcompeted and your standard of living will fall, your pension system will collapse, your welfare state will fail. This is your future, squandering and redistributing what your forefathers left you.

@akarlin Ppp feels like a bad metric, but at the same time people use real gdp growth instead of nominal gdp growth which is effectively the same thing. Don't know what to think of it. But it's definitely relevant. You need to pay researchers, suppliers, engineers, with haircuts/big macs

@UserNameR0B @johndrewmarkley @planefag As with any other political movement, they support their state and not necessarily any state

@wllmpan Only good chinese entertainment output is games and webnovels. Everything else is ass

@cburnokay @ggggggfddrfghj1 @actsmaniac Is there a term for the margin between purchase and sale price?

[Light @kaeul0]

@ggggggfddrfghj1 @actsmaniac Hm fair, you are right

[Light @kaeul0]

@ggggggfddrfghj1 @actsmaniac Grocery store gross margins are below 30% so it would have to be below purchase price

@teortaxesTex Industrial policy is important but not as much as china letting companies do whatever they want as opposed to the west where you have nimbyists, lobbyist, unions, environmentalists, lawyers, regulators all rent seeking and making it impossible to do things

@AnonWolfoRagnar @fwprism This is more equivalent to hard right parties getting elected in europe and reneging on their campaign. This pattern of extremists moderating once they're in/close to power occurs everywhere

@CandideIII @spandrell4 Nah trust me they talk about them all the time.
