in case you don't know what i'm talkin about https://adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-190-the-adani-crisis-is The Adani conglomerate, the business group most closely associated with Modi’s India, is under serious attack in the stock market, following a damning report by researchers at Hindenburg the outfit that specializes in short-selling overhyped tech stocks. [...] Since 2020, the surge in Adani’s stock price has easily topped all of the madness in America’s equity markets. [...] Modi was elected in 2014 on a slate to overcome the corruption of the previous administration. But instead, the entanglement between the Gujurat business clique, headed by Adani and Ambani, and the Modi regime became ever more intense. So intense did it become that it escaped generic categories of corruption or cronyism and put in question the historic model of India’s development. As the FT noted back in 2020. Some argue the concentration of economic power in family-run conglomerates is a way to fast-track India’s economic development, like the chaebol did for postwar South Korea. But critics say the rapid consolidation of state assets is creating monopolies and stifling competition. “Is India going to move towards the east Asian model or the Russian model? So far the tendency looks towards the latter [more] than the former,” says Rohit Chandra, assistant professor of public policy at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. “It’s not clear whether India’s concentration of capital will lead to the long-term benefit of Indian consumers.” [...] Banaji argues that the rise of groups like Adani signifies the fact that “the business families who formed the mainstay of industrial capitalism in the country for a whole three or four decades after Independence have either disintegrated or have been disintegrating and will soon cease to exist as coherent entities, let alone cohesive ones.” [...] Adani clearly belongs amongst what Banaji calls the “New Capitalists” group, who as he notes are “the most fervent supporters of Prime Minister Modi. This is the case among both bigger groups (Ambanis, Adani, Sunil Mittal (Airtel), Anil Agarwal (Vedanta), the Hindujas, and Sudhir Mehta of the Torrent Group) and some smaller and less solid ones (e.g., the media tycoon Subhash Chandra who recently lost control of his flagships, with Zee Entertainment passing to Sony).” [...] They are the key figures in the process through which old power blocs within the Indian capitalist class are dismantled and remetabolized. The new Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) of 2016 has created an arena in which business groups with easy access to capital, amongst which the Adani’s figure prominently, can snap up the assets of ruined competitors [...] Were Adani to find itself in real trouble, there can be little doubt that the real anchor would be the state. Adani’s rise and the fortunes of Modi and the BJP are closely tied.

Oglethorpe posted:estimated 2000 dead idk who these guys are but an order of magnitude difference sounds realistic to me. 2000 is sadly an obvious undercount https://twitter.com/risklayer/status/1622633336878542848 in 1999 around 20,000 died officially but people have said it's more like 40,000-60,000.

yellowcar posted:they knew it was a weather balloon and were intent on "proving" it was a spy balloon by blowing it out of the sky. bringing it to the ground intact and then finding out "oh oops it really was a weather balloon" deflates (heh) the whole narrative. blowing it up to smithereens is pretty much a fait accompli as far as the spy balloon narrative pushing goes yeah I think that’s it. it reminds me of the Russian oil pipeline getting blown up in some sense, contextually very different of course, but in both cases you could argue the goal is to preclude the possibility of de-escalation.

Only good thing about the US MIC is that we can airlift almost anything anywhere without too much notice. If Turkey requests help from Brandon, they'll get it and it'll show up fast.

found this balloon thing interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Genetrix quote:Project Genetrix, also known as WS-119L, was a United States Air Force program designed to launch General Mills manufactured surveillance balloons[1][2] over China, Eastern Europe, and the Soviet Union to take aerial photographs and collect intelligence. The Genetrix balloons reached altitudes of 50,000–100,000 feet (15–30 km), well above any contemporary fighter plane.  quote:General Mills, Inc., is an American multinational manufacturer and marketer of branded processed consumer foods sold through retail stores. Founded on the banks of the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Falls in Minneapolis, the company originally gained fame for being a large flour miller. Today, the company markets many well-known North American brands, including Gold Medal flour, Annie's Homegrown, Lärabar, Cascadian Farm, Betty Crocker, Yoplait, Nature Valley, Totino's, Pillsbury, Old El Paso, Häagen-Dazs, as well as breakfast cereals under the General Mills name, including Cheerios, Chex, Lucky Charms, Trix, Cocoa Puffs and Count Chocula and the other monster cereals.[3]
