KomradeX posted:The funny thing is, isnt that exactly what happens in England you migbt own your house but the land is.still technically owned by a literal lord Not all the time. Most of the time it's split between "leasehold" and "freehold" the latter gives you full ownership of the land your house sits on, apparently down to the earth's core in most areas. However in County Durham you have full ownership but any mineral wealth you find below 6ft is technically owned by the church of England.

https://twitter.com/markets/status/1783510806186910105?t=6LVgPGsfuPvf_8sAfqWxwA&s=19 Yellen warned Japan not to try to sell their US bond to defend the Yen. But all Japan has in foreign reserve are US Bond (93%), they got nothing to work with. Yen is hosed.

I always saw Kuongmitang as a paralel evolution of the same sort as the People's Radical Party back in my neck of the woods. Surprisingly similar trajectories in how they started, who supported them, how they developed, and what they turned into.

Yeah, all those Americans celebrating the collapse of the Yen probably don't want to hear who was still buying US bonds after China has been selling them. Japan really can't raise rates because of its own massive build up of debt, and the US isn't allowing them to sell off bonds because the effect it will have on US yields, so the only other option is to just let the Yen drop while the population takes the hit in the face.

Americans are mobbing Tokyo at the moment at the "deals" but really it is a bit of a vulture scenario. I would say Japan is well ahead of the curve though, they don't have any good options. The Europeans can maybe coast a bit or try to work out something with China, but for the Japan the crisis is already here. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 16:05 on Apr 28, 2024 |

So the Long March 10 is China's first rocket for crewed lunar missions, and it is supposedly "complete" although they are still test firing the engines and the launch pad is being constructed. The date for its first launch is supposedly "2025-2026." The Artemis 3 mission back to the moon was pushed back to September 2026 at the earliest, mostly due to the Starship being no where near close to being ready. The Chinese are supposedly also building their own direct competitor to the Starship in terms of scale, but supposedly it will be ready around 2033 or so. It should be powerful enough to make it to Mars. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 18:11 on Apr 28, 2024 |

The Artemis 3 mission back to the moon was pushed back to September 2026 at the earliest, mostly due to the Starship being no where near close to being ready. Also the space race is kinda meaningless. Whether or not China beats the US back to the moon isn't really important, what's more important is the setup and construction of space infrastructure to facillate bigger activites on the moon and in-situ resource extraction. The Artemis program is already extremely compromised by having the boondoggle that's Gateway and reliant on various moving parts that don't gel together, as well as the lack of ambition for doing things on the Moon. ILRS and its related programs don't have these problems and are already far more conceptually sound, and if Roscosmos can get its act together and pick up the slack, the better. stephenthinkpad posted:Who has brass balls big enough to ride the Starship to the moon? No one's even riding Starship to the moon, that's the funny part. Starship's entire involvement with Artemis is silly when you actually think about it (though like I said, the entire Artemis program is dumb). Human transfer from Earth to the Moon and vice versa is done via the Orion capsule attached to SLS, and Starship HLS is purely to act as fuel supply and depot, alongside actually landing people on the moon, with human transfer between Orion and Starship being done through Gateway. There's a lot of unneeded poo poo going on to facilitate the process. In fact that its ability to land, let alone get out of Earth orbit safely has yet to be tested is one reason for Artemis 3's delays, because they need the drat thing to actually 1) land, 2) do so on the Moon, far away from Earth. Its so bad they are considering restarting the tenders to get an alternative lunar lander. Iriscoral has issued a correction as of 04:11 on Apr 29, 2024 |

https://x.com/ChinaDaily/status/1784783138386055270 "If China has problems, then the United States must be on its deathbed," said John Ross, senior fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies of the Renmin University of China, "I made a joke that a good way to make an accurate prediction on China's economy was to take whatever the Economist said, reverse it, and you'll get probably a good prediction."
