I am just a guy that likes making my maps but I do feel somewhat compelled to say that Iran has a particularly good power grid, and gas distribution network. Like nearly impossible to destroy.
I mean, I think Iran has a better gas transmission footprint than Canada. I know know who this tweet is for, but maybe these maps are helpful.
In 2017, Iran exported 7,871 GWh and imported ~4 kWh, mainly exporting to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Iran's 4.3MWh per capita of annual electricity consumption is actually in-line with the UK at 4.6MWh per capita, and ~25% ahead of countries like Brazil and South Africa.
Attacking a very hardened system like this, and opening the Gulf up to attacks on far more single-failure-point assets -- seems wildly, WILDLY stupid.
An NVIDIA powered farming machine uses Al vision and precision lasers to eliminate weeds in milliseconds without herbicides and without harming crops, a potential shift toward chemical free agriculture
The West has two kinds of elites. Those who earn their money from suspiciously skyrocketing asset prices. And those who earn it from fraudulent nonprofits with government contracts. The former wants to audit the government. The latter wants a tax on unrealized capital gains.
@OlexGameDev@SandyofCthulhu Freedom to hire does not mean freedom to import as many people as you want from any country you want.
American citizens and taxpayers are not obligated to organize our society around allowing large corporations to lay off Americans and replace them with foreign nationals.
Shocking stat of the day:
The top 10% of US earners now reflect a record 49% of all consumer spending.
This percentage has risen +13 points over the last 30 years, marking a dramatic shift in spending power.
At the same time, the bottom 80% of earners represent just ~37% of total consumer expenditures, down -11 percentage points since 1995.
This means the top 10% account for a record 33% of US GDP, as personal consumer expenditures account for 68% of total economic output.
Meanwhile, the bottom 80% account for just 25% of the US economy.
Asset owners are the only winners in this economy.
We're testing a new link experience, starting on iOS -- to make it easier for your followers to engage with your post while browsing links.
For creators, a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good.
To help get better signal, posts will now collapse to the bottom of the page so people can react while you're reading.
As always, remember: the post should stand alone as great content so write a solid caption.
@GrageDustin The goal by these people is to provoke chaos and destroy the current identification system. They need everything to feel like it’s falling apart so they can thrust forward a digital id biometrics system that will then “solve” these problems they are creating.
