Can you imagine if Republicans approached Trump this way?

You named two countries. It would certainly have a global impact bit the USians would be hit hardest by far.

It’s a Millenial trend borne of new financial pressures that Boomers and Gen X didn’t have to deal with.

Doubt this would crash the global economy. The US dollar would lose value relative to other currencies, and this would have a global impact, but Americans would be hit the hardest. The average American family would have to stop buying eggs, for example.

If he did this and muscled lower rates through then the value of the US dollar would plummet and cost of living would become even more disastrous. This is how you put the US on the same path as Argentina and Turkey.

He doesn’t give a shit about rural, working class white people.

Vance will be writing Hillbilly Eulogy a few years from now.

I’m sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.

It’s fair to blame him when he shuts down the CDC in the midst of an avian flu outbreak.

Artists create original content.

They’re part of the consumer price index, a measure of inflation which in turn impacts the fed interest rate. A high rate means a high cost of borrowing which is bad for business (especially small business / start ups).

For most people it just contributes to the cost of living crisis but it has greater implications on the economy as a whole.

Trump has promised a reduction in interest rates this year while nearly all of his policies are designed to worsen inflation in the short term.

They are half the cost in Canada right now due to better supply management and taking public health a bit more seriously (only 6% of Canadians chickens are infected vs 14% of American chickens).

This might be too complicated for the average consumer at CVS, which tends to skew towards an older demographic.

These the excuses you start to make when you’re losing. Not looking great for the US…

Colonialism is essentially theft with a pretty red ribbon on top to make it look good so we can all unequivocally say fuck colonialism.

But my point is beyond that. It’s that the progress that’s been achieved through those ideas you’re celebrating was predicated on theft from and suffering of people in developing countries. In a sense those in developing countries have an ownership stake in Western industrialization and China is the first previously developing nation that’s coming to take back what is, in part, theirs. The West needs to come to terms with the fact that they won’t be the last to do so.

It seems to consistently throw a WebAssembly is not defined error.

The censorship is external to the LLM. If you run it locally, it will answer the query.

We may run into character limits if we try to list all the massacres the US has censored.

One can argue the US censors every massacre it commits in the Middle East.

Which doesn’t make China’s censorship any better. It just establishes that state censorship is a global norm, regardless or how ‘free’ you think your press is.

‘Investment’ is a nice way to put it. A more apt description would be that the developing world invested in the West’s industrialization (or the West stole it, whatever floats your boat) and the Western world chose to give essentially nothing back to its investors, directly contradicting the new capitalist world it had created.

Which is why many in the developing world feel that China’s rise to prominence is the West’s chickens coming home to roost.

A Kenyan official once said: ‘When China visits we get a hospital. When Britain visits we get a lecture’

Deepthink R1(the reasoning model) was only released on January 20. Still took a while though.

You’re watching an empire in decline. It’s words stopped matching its actions decades ago.

Sadly, territorial disputes can result in genocide, as we have seen in this case.

It’s also interesting to see how quickly (in less than a generation) the victims of a genocide can become perpetrators of one. It says something, quite demoralizing, about humanity.
