So stupid, if you wake up freezing set the AC at 23-24C, it’ll keep the room cool ‘enough’. Also, most ACs now are very efficient and don’t just turn off and on but have many levels.

We’ve discussed the effects keeping your AC has on sleep, but the constant running could also make the unit cold to the point where it breaks. It will reduce the pressure in the evaporator or coiling coil component inside the unit until it freezes over. The freezing could cause the compressor to become damaged and result in your AC no longer working.

No, ACs have sensors to prevent that. The compressor trips. Also, in a warm environment, the inside unit coil will not freeze, if it does, something else is wrong with the AC.

Good summary

Yea it is bleak not because both sides or whatever but because hundreds of thousands of people are dead and they are not Israelis.

Israel should be sanctioned. At best I support only food, fuel and medicine. But as Israel says, fuel can be used for rockets, sugar too.

And yea, Israel has no right to exist. And especially not as a Jewish supremacist state.

Just because something isn’t feasible in the current environment doesn’t mean it cant be done at all. No laws of nature is being broken. It is possible.

By talented people with ideas he of course isn’t referring to engineers or even programmers but capitalists.

How about banning large corps from issuing shares abroad? Britain is too financialized. There is no need to pump more people’s money into shares.

In her Mansion House speech to City leaders, Rachel Reeves is expected to consider cutting tax breaks for people parking their savings in cash ISAs, in a bid to encourage more investment in stocks and shares.

People parking their savings in stocks doesn’t increase investments in real sector. In long run without a Government sector, increases in private profits comes from private investment financed by bank loans created from nothing (inside wealth).

That applies to new equity (shares) as well, the money to buy newly issued shares (IPO) must come from retained earnings (which come from previous investments or govt deficit and is limited in amount), or bank money creation (which is constrained by bank’s willingness to lend).

Funny how the land of Keynesian economics is now implementing the most braindead monetarist economic policies. Acting as if shuffling numbers around does anything.

Edit: I believe the hope is that this will inflate the prices of shares, which can then be used as collateral to get loans for cheap from private banks. But then that money is unlikely to be used for real investment instead just speculation.

Russia

Very good to see. It means it associates with anti-woke with Nazism.

Why so much capitalization?

they are doing it at their own pace to shift the structure of their economy gradually rather than a dramatic collapse that will provoke US military action

i think the problem is the private sector. the private sector in these countries (other then China maybe) has strong influence on the Government, they want to keep their income.

Timestamp: 1:26:25 I was watching this video from 2013 where Michael Hudson was asked about why China is willing to accumulate Dollars and export to the U.S. he said that they are pivoting to home market and it was for building productive forces.

So when is it coming? I do not know. Maybe once we are all dead.

why did they ‘show’ camera outside Epstein’s prison cell (not his cell really), that’s not related to the client list. The Trump admin wants everyone to believe Epstein killed himself despite many holes in that reasoning.

Big talk from all these countries but none of them will stop being willing to accumulate Dollar financial assets unless they are forced to with exorbitant tariffs that can’t be reasonably paid even with internal and external devaluation OR if the US sanctions them.

He is going low now. 10% while not great I think most of these countries will eat up partly.

Its the 25-30% and above tariffs that made me think “wtf is he thinking?”. I’m very certain had this been the Trump from two months back he would’ve threatened 50%.

India and Brazil are reasonably strong regional players, I’m not sure what exactly “alignment” means, but it could be pretty bad.

India has not stopped glazing Trump and the U.S, they will yield to American demands quick.

imma be honest, you are a liberal and closer to centrist Democrats.

whoops again

because under capitalism getting a job is kinda difficult, painful process, so even many the ‘voluntarily unemployed’ may take up part time jobs if they had the chance and if it were provided for by the Government.

true, i think many billionaires want such kind of power, but i think for now they prefer to influence Government policy, and many ways it works better, i.e. no corpo-wars.

whoops
