1. Contracts no longer have to be settled in dollars 2. Demand for dollars drops and exchange rates for other currencies slide 3. US import economy goes tits up once we can't afford anything 4. US manufacturing sector gets restored out of necessity were back baby gently caress yeah you'd be a fool not to invest in this market

If I was in charge of running the trains I would do what matters to keep them on the tracks but IDK maybe I should've taken more business management classes or something

Sorry sweaty remembering facts means youre a tRUMP lover and bad.

net work error posted:If I was in charge of running the trains I would do what matters to keep them on the tracks but IDK maybe I should've taken more business management classes or something The Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 54,539 train derailments between 1990 to 2021, an average of 1,704 per year. After the first thousand or so derailments I'd be really sick of them. What a pain. Maybe the derailment cleanup company is causing the derailments to keep their business going??

Shipon posted:trees on sidewalks do gently caress up the sidewalks as well as the curb of the road (where the bicyclists ride), so i say get rid of 'em They also cool down giant areas of cities. The wealthy areas with nice trees have 2-3F cooler temps than neglected areas. There's studies on this that're neat

there was a surprisingly decent interview on NPR with this lady who studies how chronic stress from poverty and systemic racism fucks you up (book was Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society, Arline Geronimus). some pretty crazy stats, like how every developed country has seen drops in birth complications by way of policies reducing teen pregnancy, except for America. also how that big gently caress off raid on a meat factory awhile ago where they rounded up and shackled all the immigrant workers resulted in a measurable increase in birth complications of Hispanic women across the entire state. article it was all pretty lib-brained and the word “capitalism” was never uttered of course, but still pretty interesting.

Eric Cantonese posted:What she's saying seems to be true? She seems to be spouting C-Spam adjacent thinking. She does, but it was a more general "everyone is rolling out some type of 'dedollarization isn't happening' video or take". I agree with the overall sentiment that dedollarization is happening it is just a slow process. I do think the aspect of dedollarization in regards to the petrodollar is happening much faster than anyone is anticipating. I also think a good portion of this wouldn't be happening if not for the Russian sanction poo poo.

i think one of the first industries to adopt ai to significantly reduce workforces will be call centers, in the near future when you talk to a help desk, answering service, telemarketer, etc you're going to be talking entirely to a computer

The liquid algae tree thing is extra stupid when you consider a single bamboo plant can sequester several hundred lbs of co2 per year Cover the earth in bamboo! Pyrolize it and stick it in the ground! Build houses and furniture out of it! gently caress! There's already One Weird Trick for carbon sequestration and tech bros hate it!

It's totally about many oil-producing nations seeing Russia getting hampered by sanctions and not wanting to suffer to the same extent. And just generally, it's nice to have options.
