We can certainly fix the BEV problem -- by abandoning the shoddy tech.

"Hybrid electric vehicles [like FCEVs] contain approximately 85 pounds [of copper].. battery electric vehicles (BEVs) contain 183 pounds"

Copper is used heavily in panels, turbines; not much we can do there (unless we find pure chemical, photosynthesis-like process to generate H2 direct), but we can fix the grid problem.

Another reason to de-electrify and not use a grid for energy transportation

"[G]rid energy storage installations rely on between 3 tons and 4 tons [of copper] per MW"

Copper shortfall? Damn

"In an Australian first, renewable hydrogen will be delivered to 700 homes in Mitchell Park when Australia’s largest electrolyser is switched on at Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA) today. The commissioning of the Australian Gas Network’s electrolyser at HyP SA will see the 700 customers receive a blend of 5% renewable hydrogen and natural gas delivered through the existing gas network"

30s nationalism was beaten through war in Europe. TR branch wiggled its way out of that loss.. They hid in the cracks of the society, occasionally getting out and messing shit up. Zionists were already well protected behind their shield of victimization, they could not be criticized for anything, in fear of being called anti-Semite. That is at least two countries today who harbor a rotten form of nationalism, a kind that long should have been swept away.

NYT: "Even as NATO leaders met in Brussels, the American aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan and several other warships moved into the disputed waters of the South China Sea, with the group’s commander, Rear Adm. Will Pennington, vowing to protect 'international law and rules-based order,' wording that echoed NATO’s communiqué. Hours later [.. CH] conducted their own show of force over waters south of Taiwan, the island democracy that China claims as its own. Only days before, the Group of 7 leaders, meeting in Cornwall, England, had for the first time issued a statement on Taiwan"

Link

Data can be noisy or missing (report delays, etc); so you try to piece it together from clues. An aircraft carrier (code CVN) never travels alone, it is accompanied by destroyers (code DG), and guided missile cruisers (code CG). So CG and DG presence can indicate a larger deployment.

Presence around South China Sea is more visible, on both ends, near Japan, and Vietnam / Singapore.

Navy location map update. Added more destroyers, and guided missile cruisers.

Zionism also carries the residue of the 30s. They were crushed by that nationalism, but in a bizarre reversal, they assumed it (the tortured imitating the torturer), and under the protective shield of their victimization nursed it to this day.

See people without a land, and a land without people

Similar bullshit: "we arrived in the our lands, and there was noone there".

Ethnic nationalism was en vogue then.. Some thought Germans "descended from Proto-Aryans, who [..] dwelt on the North German Plain and may ultimately have originated on the lost continent of Atlantis". That herrenvolk business.. FROM ATLANTIS. Some dumb-ass shit right? Kinda similar to bunch of punks from Central Asia rolling into Anatolia, finding it empty, bringing civilization there, right? tiggervolk

"Israel’s parliament ousts Benjamin Netanyahu, ending his 12-year rule as the Israeli Prime Minister"

"[S]ince 1999, when Hugo Chavez ushered in a socialist revolution, Venezuela allowed the [Colombian] rebels to use its territory in their fight against the Colombian government, which is a U.S. ally. Under Colombia's 2016 peace agreement, most of the rebels disarmed, but some refused. And many of these guerrillas are thought to be smuggling Colombian cocaine through Venezuela in cahoots with the Venezuelan army. McDermott claims the fighting broke out when one guerrilla faction tried to bypass the Venezuelan military and keep most or all of the cocaine profits"

"@ianbremmer

Trump was personally more aligned towards Putin than any recent US President (and look at the difference in TIME covers [one,two]. But that didn’t impact outcomes, because Trump Admin & GOP was hawkish. Indeed, in terms of actual policy, Biden Admin is slightly softer on Russia"

No recall elections. No issue voting. No referandums. No direct democracy, until such time new tech / system does something drastically different, not merely slaps some wizbang appendage on the existing system which is not built for such granular interaction. Current system should be (mostly is) centered around the representatives.

No. Bcz I dont support issue voting in general.

"Would you support ranked choice voting on issues"

Great.. this new approach would also carry the legitimacy of a runoff IMO.

Politico: "Voting kicks off in a New York City mayor's race.. Voters are trying out ranked-choice voting for the first time... The new voting system [.. is] a way to avoid the cost and low turnout of runoff elections. If no one wins a majority, then the last-place finisher is eliminated and the second-place votes from those ballots are redistributed to the remaining field. The process repeats itself until someone breaks the 50 percent barrier"
