  1. i just had some of my people go to china for a week to a factory where we bought some large machines. it's in the middle of china in a city you never heard of but it's 15 million people. so they have lots of cities like that . not everyone lives on the coast.

  2.  @johnsmyth9123  except all the punitive actions like freezing bank accounts of them and anyone who even gave them a donation.
    21
  3. or refine it because it's " dirty" . the environmental jihadis are out of control. the environment is important but they think it's the most important and don't want any trade offs. it;'s not the most important . a healthy economy is the most important. without that everything else falls apart.
    19
  4. yes but you have to realize he lies more than trump. there are countless clips of putin saying one thing then doing the opposite. like him saying that crimea is part of ukraine . then years later saying the opposite
    18
  5. bullshit i hired an engineer from gm who was there over 10 years and he was still only making 95k and looking at only a tiny raise. yet he was responsible hands on for keeping a particular subassembly line running trouble shooting production problems and trying to improve the process. he was making less than the line workers
    18
  6. you are the wrong color for trudeau.
    14
  7.  @CorePathway  why is iron dome needed? who is launching stuff into israel
    13
  8. yup he has wanted to take over ukraine since he came to power . he will never give up. it sucks he has 7 million men available to throw at this.
    12
  9. oh but they are the new and improved taliban
    11
  10.  @servethesongs sure it's only 10 yrs away , just like fusion
    10
  11.  @Frostback-mw4xi  the us promising protection and then reneging on that promise . pretty standard. they did it again to ukraine in 1994 , they did it to individuals who helped them in iraq i think they did it to the guy who found bin laden.
    10
  12. did you not watch the video?? iron dome is very effective against shahed drones . that is what he said . russian missiles not so much effective. so defeating the shahed drones is very significant.
    7
  13.  @ronarnett4811  it's that the men who fix this stuff have been put into the military complex and even sent to the front.there is a big shortage of skilled labor that can fix stuff domestically.
    7
  14. then you have a country like norway that used it vast energy revenues to properly secure their future as a country.
    7
  15.  @whymiss3312  he does corporate work plus how do you think he gets all this info? he has staff to feed him intel daily.
    6
  16.  @jeffhaddix9508  maybe bizarro world but not the actual world.
    6
  17. there are way more workers then executives.
    5
  18.  @geoffrobinson  because they are in nato. if germany had not objected years ago when ukraine wanted to apply then this war could have been entirely avoided including 2014.
    5
  19. they can hit russian helicopters which are destroying ukrainian armor or preventing them from using the armor at the front.
    5
  20. same thing at tesla buffalo when they were tooling up for making solar roof panels. i knew a guy doing work there. install a bunch of equipment then later tear it out cause elon wanted to go a different way
    5
  21. us is refusing to train pilots for ukraine because they are still selling F-16's to countries and are training their pilots. and other countries are hesitant to train more pilots than " are needed" for the F-16's that ukraine will get.
    5
  22. europe is suffering from too many people from certain areas moving into old europe.
    5
  23. lithium iron phosphate have no cobalt
    4
  24. and they just got a complete factory online in china making the shaheed drones but they are making major improvements to them. bad news
    4
  25.  @theoafman9068  we didn't start the war that was putin. ukraine needs the weapons. so it is only a side effect that we get the data. they have also captured some russian weapon systems that they sent to nato for analysis like some super special radar systems in order for us to analyse
    4
  26. it's about shahed drones .are you dense?? did you not see the video?
    4
  27. the problems that are not solved are NIMBY'S , LAWYERS, POLITICIANS, STIGMA
    4
  28. you guys stupidly shut down your nuclear power plants . you could have enough electricity.
    4
  29.  @Justmekpc  well those neighbors have attacked israel with force several times just for existing.the palestinians need to move to other arab countries but of course they tried that and caused so much trouble in those countries that they got kicked out. why does eqypt block them in gaza?
    4
  30. keystone xl could have helped us
    3
  31. needed for Ai like in robots and drones
    3
  32. volkswagen has already said that they can convert one of their plants to a defense plant with rheinmetal. they picked one out already.
    3
  33.  @chrisjackson1215  well i vote to increase legal immigration to 10 million per year. right now it's about 1 million way too little. and those fools that cry they take my jobs , where are these job seekers? every day 20% of our factory workforce call in because they can. i have no sympathy for workers anymore. they got large raises over the years so now they work less because their goal is to work as little as possible then complain how they need more money. and legal weed has also had a negative effect on productivity. we are heading down the road to venezuela.
    3
  34.  @shodanxx  well your system has failed terribly so international capital was heaven in comparison to how it is now.
    3
  35. biden is up 1 point over trump in national poles. so the debate changed NOBODY's mind.
    3
  36. are not most people who predict stuff wrong. ? it's very hard to predict the future.
    3
  37. wow i assumed he was in his 40's. the guy is always hiking and talking at the same time . he must be in great shape. i just turned 63 today and my legs have given out. i sit here and they are all throbbing. had to stop the treadmill 2 yrs ago due to severe cramping. it sucks
    3
  38.  @shubashuba9209  because us immigration is designed to keep people out rather than expand the population. we should increase legal immigration by 5 or 10 times . society will benefit as a whole as long as we select the right kind of people. people with skills who are ambitious.
    3
  39. we have no problem finding welders. put an add on indeed getting 30 resume's in a weekend. other trades like the all around maintenance person for a factory very hard to find in our area . they are either unskilled non experienced for high rates or near retirement age , obese , and slow movers. anyone good we have to hire the same day or they get hired somewhere else.
    3
  40. jj mccullough on youtube has a very good video explaining about this situation. the guy assassinated was involved to some degree in the air india bombing way back in 1985
    3
  41. maybe require all data centers to have solar on their roofs and a solar farm beside/ around with battery storage so they don't need external power very much or often? is there a way to capture the heat energy that is wasted and needs to be removed by cooling?
    3
  42. the only way manufacturing will make a big comeback is if they can employ a whole bunch of immigrants because today's young people have made it abundantly clear that they are not going to do any physical work . they go to college in way too high numbers in order to be able to sit in an office somewhere and maybe stare at a screen or more likely a cell phone. look at the trades or maintenance in a production plant . the men ( and yes it's all men) are nearing retirement or are 50 at the youngest. college kids don't want to get their hands dirty working on machines.
    3
  43. candu reactors are super safe and can't melt down. they have been generating power in canada for like 50 years . some of the biggest nuclear stations in the world are in ontario
    3
  44. yes what the F does israel need 20 billion for? that is probably more than they have spent fighting hamas. and hamas is totally losing badly . they were never any kind of military match against israel .
    3
  45. the grade of the chain is the strength not the corrosion resistance. grade 30 is just mild steel . grade 70 is transport grade which is higher carbon steel . then for lifting are grades 80 , 100, and 120 which are all alloy steel heat treated . i would never use chinese chain for lifting or critical application.
    3
  46. yes really enlightening
    3
  47. maybe he means the accounting fixer which was weisselberg ?
    3
  48. can they get any less quality?
    3
  49.  @CrazyPupil70  i seriously would like that. dealing with the epa and DEC is a big pain in the ass.
    3
  50. and who is ever 100% correct on future predictions? he is interesting and brings up possibilities that most people don't know unless you are into it super deep.
    3
  51. jargon not actual size. like 5g . means nothing
    2
  52. you failed to mention ukrainians have landed at least 1 or more armored vehicles as well and are taking control of 1 or 2 settlements there. russians use aviation glide bombs against them but they are not very accurate but are very powerful.
    2
  53.  @kosiski  not that difficult. the plane is easier to fly than the migs they have. the maintainers have a much more difficult job.
    2
  54. an example - the general that was in charge of the fiasco they had at vulhedar a few months back where about 100 tanks were destroyed over a week or 2 by continuing to attack ukrainian positions . he got a big promotion from putin because he wrote a report to putin saying how his attack was a complete success even though it was an abject failure. yesterday he killed 200 russian troops by making them all meet and wait for hours for him to come and give them a speech. so the ukrainians easily spotted the concentration of troops and killed them all with artillery in one attack. so i would say maybe an individual commander knows of his own corruption but not of everyone else's.
    2
  55.  @trplankowner3323  canada has the highest grade uranium ore about 17% which is like 10x what other deposits come in at..
    2
  56.  @seaman5705  oh yes you will have a big bang at every generator that is connected out of phase. it has happened before and usually the generator does not survive nor it's foundation as the entire generator may rip itself off it's foundation.
    2
  57.  @theyux1  where does arizona get the water for the cooling. these places evaporate huge amounts of water to cool the servers.?
    2
  58. so a small group gets protection but a much larger group suffers ? that's super smart ? maybe other groups should get such treatment and raise prices even more .

  59. the zealots in portland won't let the mine happen

  60.  @altratronic  no no no it's nuke lee er learn to speak english.

  61.  @brocklanders6969  many liberty ships broke apart at sea . they were not very robust ships.
    2
  62.  @gorkyd7912  he said they don't grow rice in the north
    2
  63.  @saadjamil8575  trump supporters would not admit it in polls. there you go.
    2
  64. ukraine should quietly help them with plutonium since ukraine has reactors.
    2
  65.  @jumbothompson  our lifestyle is what breaks backs. everyone is overweight and a large percent are obese. if people stay in shape their bodies last just fine .
    2
  66.  @michaelharris6441  until people actually experioenced trump as president then they ran away like crazy by like 8 million votes
    2
  67. most people are stupid
    2
  68.  @RL.777  you must mean stalin not satan although the 2 are the same
    2
  69.  @ColonelFredPuntridge  lithuania is not poland. poland is on track to be the most powerful conventional military in EU.
    2
  70. while they had invaded crimea and the donbas with " green men"
    2
  71. people who were used to 2 % interest should realize that was a blip and nowhere near historic levels. now we are closer to historic levels .
    2
  72.  @billthomas635  so australia doesn't yet tax the solar energy they produce for themselves? if not, it's coming.
    2
  73. no one really knows at least publicly but ukraine has drones that can go 1000 km so this is within range.
    2
  74.  @thecustodian1023  those guys started out sweeping the floor also. everyone wants to make large salaries now not 5 yrs from now when they have valuable skills.
    2
  75. the president ordered them to fly him back so the pilots had to comply.
    2
  76. not strangely. i am the same.( i'm 62 now) my father was very informed about the happenings in ukraine . my interest was lukewarm if any.although i did argue with him in the 1990's when ukraine conceded to usa and sent their nukes to russia that it was a big mistake. he was all for the deal since it provided money to ukraine. i am sure if he was alive today he would regret that . since the war started i am on it every day . almost an obsession. i guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.
    2
  77.  @harrywhitt2218  yes exactly nato control of bosphorus is really important . imagine if it was iran controlling that.
    2
  78.  @mr.patriotjol  no we meddled in the 90's when got them to get rid of their nukes. that was only for our security since we are always afraid of some rogue getting them. we should have formed an alliance to help them manage the nukes but that would cost money and we usually cheap out .
    2
  79. same with kharkiv . russian doesn't use the H sound . they use G instead . but the H is a soft H .
    2
  80.  @ggee7391  it's not a civil war. if usa attacks mexico is that a civil war. ??
    2
  81. or they could have an epiphany and kick the greens to the curb and build or restart nuclear power . there are new designs that are super super safe. and if you also reprocess the waste becomes almost trivial. also if ukraine wins and takes back crimea there are huge natural gas deposits under the black sea all along the coast of ukraine. those were stolen by russia when they took crimea. those deposits could replace russian gas for europe.
    2
  82.  @Meton2526  yes try to build an apartment building in san francisco. they will fight you forever and even change laws to prevent that. it has happened many times in the guise of " preserving the neighborhood" which is often a really crappy place.
    2
  83.  @iraobryansmith9700  the fraudulent bookkeeping is a crime as well as using company money to pay a personal expense and there was probably a campaign finance law broken as well.
    2
  84.  @arthurmiranda8896  that is why the deal clinton made should have had u.s. boots on the ground maintaining a number of nukes until ukraine had a stable program. ukraine didn't need ICBM's but tactical nukes say a few hundred . they had like 2000 or so . as part of the deal u.s. could inspect them as well. this would have prevented invasion of crimea in 2014 and any war with russia.
    2
  85.  @kolobcreek  pagers are tiny. it's the most they could do and still have them work as pagers. the walkie talkies were bigger and did more damage
    2
  86.  @betaorionis2164  so why isn't the EU providing more weapons to fight the russians if you are the world's biggest market?? oh wait you just let usa taxpayers handle most of the NATO expense. maybe you guys need to spend much more on that and stop arguing about fruits and vegetables.
    2
  87. that is already a thing. the irs or other govt entity can freeze pretty much anybody's bank account so any money in that account is not useable. hell a bank can do that on their own if they think they can get away with it. say a website like stormfront , a weed store or some other " undesirable " has a bank account . they can decide to just freeze it.
    2
  88. it's less than that because the lease starts when the developer buys the land . by the time a chinese is moving into his home it could be 15 - 20 years after the lease for the land because nothing got built for a long time.
    2
  89. it is well past time for NATO to join the war and fight russia directly.
    2
  90. yup bought and paid for .
    2
  91. wow i didn't know that.
    2
  92. this guy is way too smug
    2
  93.  @DurzoBlunts  it's 3% of the military budget. you are going to tell me it's bankrupting us or some such foolery?
    2
  94. i think if the dems had another candidate it would be a lock. with biden only the true blue will for sure vote for him. it's not his age but his dementia. it's totally obvious to everyone. maybe if he dumped kamala for someone more inspiring then people could think well there is at least a decent backup. but his DEI mentality prevents that
    2
  95. the price of large wire has gone up 400% since covid. aluminum wire costs as much as copper used to. i can't get an explanation. seems someone is really gouging in the supply chain.
    2
  96. theirs a great video here somewhere where i guy wears a sombrero and other " classic ethnic mexican atire" then asks whites what they think. they are all offended saying it's racist whatever. then to groups of actual mexicans and they were all - he looks good . not offended at all
    2
  97. the shareholders got thanked very well . that's the important people.
    2
  98. people talking about pumps don't realize the amount of power it would take to pump the water. it's like 25 million gallons per lock. to pump that in a reasonably fast manner like 15 minutes means you need about 1.7 gallons/ minute . that's a lot of pump and power . at 10 psi an estimate is 1.7 million / 150 = hp = 11333 hp or about 8500 kw for each lock . how much power is available in panama?
    2
  99. there is a huge electric car plant being built in the us by a vietnamese car company. it rivals tesla.
    2
  100. so i remember seeing an actor before the strike of saying how the " talent" meaning actors are getting shafted. well guess what designing code and creating AI ia also " talent". i hate how actors just call themselves talent like no one else in the process has talent. most of the big names just got lucky and the audience became familiar with them.
    2
  101. iran builds the shahed for 20k the us will make a version that costs 20 million a pop.
    2
  102. it's 3 things - food prices , the border , kamala . lots of people didn't like her . then you have have trans thing from 2019 that she never disavowed.
    2
  103.  @jimdoe9827  working remotely is white collar , the stuff that will be displaced by AI more easily . chat gpt can already write code with minimal direction. would you do physical work ? like maintenance or trade work as in hvac/ plumbing etc. ?
    2
  104.  @charleswomack2166  where is that because that seems pretty young for a trade.
    2
  105.  @cameronspence4977  i bet russia doesn't even have accurate numbers . and ukraine counts anyone that fights for russia not just russian soldiers. wagner is an example. plus foreigners recruited from other countries. russia never counts those. as for 50k ? they lost that many who came from prison.
    2
  106. very hard to get young people interested in any physical labor job. we are starving for plumbers, electricians , hvac techs, maintenance people. maintenance people very hard to find anyone under 40 let alone under 30 who will be a maintenance technician . i have been looking for a few 2nd and 3rd shift guys for a year . many time you make an offer they accept then later they don't show up at all or when you call them they say they took a job on days .
    2
  107.  @firstnamelastname7941  good point since this is before the election

  108. you trade it in

  109. peter my ears are burning. the word is nuclear - nuke lee er not nuke you ler

  110. i read they discovered that water from fracking has high lithium content and that fracking could be a new source for lithium

  112.  @stephanbergmann8373  when i was a kid 50 years ago we were a decade away from fusion .

  113.  @stephanbergmann8373  not going to happen . no chance
    1
  114. well if whats his name gets elected he may pull us out of nato. i would say the chances are at least 50/50. there is no way he would want to go to war over nato.

  115.  @reekinronald6776  here in western NY they have stuck alot of the migrants that got sent to ny city. now local school districts are swamped with all the kids of the migrants and need huge funding to keep up. we are not like ny city. we are not in favor of open borders and in favor of 2A. yet we get this problem shoved down our throats.
    1
  116. biggest issue was immigration primarily from middle east which is totally incompatible with british culture.
    1
  117. he has a staff that he employs . he doesn't just come up with all this stuff on his own every day. he subsidizes their families
    1
  118. russia will be able to build new tanks. the sanctions have had little effect because the electronics just end up getting sold to one of the stan countries then to russia or russia has people in western countries set up companies that obtain electronics and surreptitiously get it to them. all of a sudden the amount of electronics that one of the stan countries buys has gone up 90% in a year. so where are they going - right to russia. their soldiers now have modern gear like helmets and vests and such from china. the russians do eventually catch up. this is all terrible by the way. and we have johnson and his master to thank for the destruction and death in ukraine.
    1
  119. the ppp loans were to pay the employees like you so you wouldn't collect unemployment with it's huge overpayment of 600/ week. if used correctly it saved money and many employees were pissed that they couldn't stay home and collect the big juice.
    1
  120. it sucks and scumbag johnson is preventing aid . he needs to be removed

  121. there are plenty of humans that should be suppressed as well

  122.  @SkywhiteChannel  well unless you research everything yourself you will summate others .

  123. idiots voted
    1
  124. NO , perot took 18.9% of the vote in the election mostly from bush. that is why clinton won.
    1
  125. there is a big counterattack happening in the south of bahkmut now . the russians are running away and ukraine has taken back 6 sq km and even wagners are running away
    1
  126. do you ever stay in 1 place? wow yesterday you said you were in toronto. i could never put up with that much flying.
    1
  127. perhaps we need some tough talk with saudi to let MBS know that he should play ball with the us. he thinks he is in control. perhaps he needs a lesson.
    1
  128. there is also the economic reasons. wages for blue collar or low end employment have increased dramatically at least in our area. fast food is paying 18 / hr to start . it was only a few years ago when there was a big slogan to get to 15 / hr
    1
  129. well the stats say that alcohol consumption in russia was way lower than the ussr in line with regular countries. it is increasing now however. now the stats may be fake , that is always possible. and ave life expectancy is always skewed if there is high infant mortality.
    1
  130. i disagree with much of the first part of this. it was only because ukraine had a capable military that russia was not able to just roll in. they had built their military since 2014 with training from various nato members on site in ukraine. and i don't think it has anything to do with russia's security. no one was going to attack russia. it is simple greed on the part of putin and a handful of ultra right. putin just wants to " restore the glory of russia" even though there was nothing to be glorious about. half the country doesn't even have toilets.
    1
  131. because it's not who votes that counts but who counts the votes. just happened in venezuela . the opposition obviously won by a wide margin but maduro still rules and faked the count.

  132.  @MrGorpus  wake me up when one actually gets built. as soon as one gets approved every wacko in the country like RFK will be stirring up shit against it to block it.

  133.  @VelkePivo  why , does it affect your life?
    1
  134. also possible for russia to attack the baltics to " protect " russian speakers , especially if trump gets elected . he wants to pull the us out of nato .
    1
  135. i think you overstate the importance of the bridge . it's very important but won't cripple russian forces by any means if it's closed. the biggest problem is endless mine fields and trenches in the south. the russians can lay mines very easily from trucks that shoot out dispensers that lay mines on the surface. those idiots who complain about cluster munitions don't realize the extent of russian laid mine fields already. miles deep by hundreds of miles wide. ukraine needs new machines that can move over the minefields without getting damaged . and they need to be fast to avoid artillery and be armored . so yah easy peasy - NOT
    1
  136. well it's hard to gauge what all the idiot voters will do

  137. this new factory is actually tiny in comparison to what they do in taiwan. and i predict they will have a hard time getting enough dedicated workers to be successful. making chips is a pretty terrible job in reality.
    1
  138. training the maintaners is the hardest part. training the pilots is easy in comparison. the maintainers need way more knowledge than the pilots. the pilots already know how to fly. they are half way there. one of the biggest issues for them is understanding english believe it or not.
    1
  139. that russian ship that sunk a couple weeks ago in the mediteranian had 2 large cranes on the deck that they were transporting likely the destination was benghazi in libyia to set up their port facilities for loading and unloading their ships.

  140. peter the word is pronounced NUKE LEE ER not NUKE YOU LER

  141. iran having F-14 's is the reason all F-14 planes in us possession were destroyed and scrapped years ago. to prevent any parts from them somehow getting to iran.

  142. i would say there is not a problem at all
    1
  143. the truth is somewhere in between his numbers and the zealot's numbers. i think too many manufacturers jumped on ev's, put in huge investments because tesla's were selling as fast as they could make them. most other ev's come short in range and charging infrastructure. tesla's minimalist styling and big brother monitoring don't appeal to a large section of the population , plus the cost is high. ev's will continue to grow but not at the massive pace the automakers geared up for. now that in north america the tesla plug is standard it makes charging ev's much better if you can use a supercharger.
    1
  144. well for all those fools when they strike and get more money prices go up. then they complain that things are to expensive and when will inflation go down thinking prices will go down. if inflation goes to zero prices stay the same not go down. why do so many people expect their lives to NOT be a struggle. humanity requires struggle. blue collar wages have gone way up from 12 bucks to 18 . so instead of working 40 hours and making more money many workers skip off a couple days a week and make the same money. so their ambition is to NOT work. then expect the govt to give them a handout. this is what we deal with every day in our factory. they miss work and lose their attendance bonus of 100 bucks / week and they don't care. too busy smoking weed since that is now legal in my state.
    1
  145. you fail to mention that ukraine now also has the neptune missile for ground to ship and ground to ground attack. carries up to 350 kg of explosive . that's alot. 3 times what a gmlrs from a himars.

  146. we need to reform immigration in the us. i say increase legal immigration to 5 million per year. deport all the illegals after that and make the border really secure by using the military . they don't do much else other than training anyway. make the immigrants learn english . provide minimal welfare help for a short period . the legals should be able to work right away. make them get a job or face consequences. this will lower inflation as there are not enough people willing to do manual work now. gen z has decided they won't work at a physical job.

  149. check out sal's channel -- what's going on with shipping. he has a great video out about all the lawsuits that are coming . like all the ships that are trapped in the port . all the customers of those ships . plus ships that were going to the port can now legally drop those containers at any port they want. then the container owners will have to arrange to truck them out. Chubb is on the hook for all of this . he goes into the entire insurance pool that is available and it's like 2-3 billion.

  155.  @blakebrown534  they had to buy korean version of himars as well because usa production can't keep up for the launchers let alone the rockets. so americans bitching need to look in their own backyards. also the amount of extra sales this war is generating for usa needs to be thrown into the equation as well.

  158. i think we should have a carrier group over in the gulf. you have iran seizing ships so that's not good. we also need to defend the us dollar as the world currency. if brics succeeds in dethroning the dollar it will have huge negative economic impact for the usa. biden and the dems were all on board to punish the saudis over killing that journalist while trump was pragmatic and basically looked the other way. i could even see him privately telling the saudi's that hey you guys screwed up in your assassination so now you need a dog and pony show to " punish the perpetrators" . it's in our interest to maintain good ties with saudi as much as we don't want to but reaaly have to.

  170. so for starters the u.s. should make it clear that the saudi's can only price and sell oil in u.s. .dollars. that will cement the dollar as the world currency.none of this brics bullshit. next they have to drop any support for russia in the war . they can only buy weapons from usa as well . just 3 starter conditions i can think of off the bat. i'm sure we need more than this.

  178. they weren't repelled . they said they could have gone to the city of belgorod but they never planned to go that far as they originally expected more resistance. they didn't have enough supplies to go that far. and at one point there were about 500 fighters between the 2 groups . they retreated on their own as it was only supposed to be a couple day operation.

  188. this is why ukraine needs F-16's 6 months ago. they should have got all the new weapons a long time ago. in that time russia has built formidable defenses all along the south . now it is very hard fighting to penetrate. and russia uses their helicopters to fire missiles at ukraine's tanks and armored vehicles from like up to 10 km away. so they can't even use manpads against that. despite all this they are gaining ground every day slowly.

  193.  @Dub105  the last audit that was public showed it full of gold and also some treasure for safe keeping like crown jewels of other countries.

  194. getting F-16's opens up a huge choice of potential missiles they can use . for starters they can knock out russian helicopters from 150 miles away . the helicopters have been a big problem for ukrainian forces on the front line. they can destroy armor from 15 miles away so way before ukraine can use any manpads against them.

  195. last report i saw ukraine used their drones to take out the satellite control station not western weapons.

  206. yes banned by jimmy carter a nuclear engineer of all things . duh. why don't we just copy what the french do as they reprocess spent fuel into new fuel. even have them design it for us . but noooooo we have to be different and reinvent the wheel so some high priced contractors can grease some politicians hands.

  207. so do the dutch vote for a local politician who is part of a party or does the ballot simply have the parties on the ballot? in canada you vote for a person. and if they get the most votes in that riding( district) they become the rep for that area. then the party with the most reps will become the government and the leader of that party becomes prime minister.

  213.  @bush_wookie_9606  no not even close . according to 2021 census in russia there are 82,000 people who identify as jewish in russia. in ukraine it is hard to get stats exactly but up to 400,000 people in ukraine are eligible to move to israel. kiyv alone has 110,000 jewish persons. yet a 2020 european study say 40,000 in ukraine which is obviously wrong. so russia is down the line like 6th or seventh. from 2010 to 2021 russia lost half their jewish population due to emigration.

  247. nuclear along with fuel reprocessing is a good long term option. also thorium. the chinese are building a commercial thorium reactor not just experimental. they have abundant thorium. if they are successful with it then that proves thorium is workable. the waste is much less hazardous . Candu reactors from canada can burn thorium already as well as natural un - enriched uranium.

  249. ukraine has said that if russia attcks their energy grid that they will attack russian oil and gas pipelines and other facilities. they now have drones that can fly 1000 km so this is not an empty threat. so far ukraine has not attacked these so that the price of oil stays down. but if usa stops support to ukraine they have no reason to not do that. so magaheads better consider that oil may jump a whole lot if ukraine disrupts russian oil.

  253. interesting about how in israel they have a bunch of right wing wackos that actually wield power. that is probably causing many problems. there was a muslim intellectual the other day saying that just a few weeks ago a palestinian family had there house an car burned down by an illegal israeli settler . so the right wing wackos that want to take over the west bank are a problem that israel doesn't deal with. i remember many years ago israeli settlers in the west bank were pushing out palestinians . west bank was supposed to be for palestinians. right wing israeli govt's wanted to increase settlements so eventually they push out the palestinians. maybe back in1948 the israeli's should have conquered the whole place and not have this festering wound causing all this bloodshed.

  297. the main problem is extremists who want to shut down humanity . they are unwilling to transition over 100 yrs and want everything now . they are such stupid children. yes we need all solar, wind, nuclear , hydro and natural gas.coal should be phased out quickly as it's very polluting.

  299. no way space shuttle was costing $2000 per kg it was way more . looked it up max payload 25,060 kg cost 1.2 billion / launch = $47,885 / kg . back when it was still flying . falcon 9 can carry 17,500 kg in reusable mode to LEO comparable to shuttle. current price = $ 97 million.= $5542 / kg. add inflation to space shuttle and it's probably $100k/ kg

  312. so for every military innovation there eventually is a counter . so hopefully ukraine can continue to be successful. cutting off russian oil exports is a big bonus for ukraine. 3 million barrels/ day is at least 150 million dollars/ day. it also seems to me they don't use starlink for communication with these drones as spacex cut off starlink in the crimean area . they say they don't want to be used as a war machine. so i know usa provided ukraine with some satelite equipment . they must be using other satelites for this. russia will ,likely start by escorting their tankers with warships but then they become a target as well. if ukraine could get some titanium plate to put on the tops of the drones that could make them resistant to small arms fire from russian ships. next ukraine will be sending subs like the narco subs. if they can get 10 feet deep that is enough water to make small arms ineffective.

  314. are you going to go out in the fields and pick lettuce or strawberries or whatever? you won't do it for any amount . most americans are overweight to obese. bending down picking produce will give them all back problems and comp claims would skyrocket. and everyone is greedy especially consumers. it's human nature so do give me this greedy companies bull. wages have gone way up since covid especially at the low end. this has been one of the components of inflation which the voters seem to think is crazy high when it is now about 3 %. and the prices in stores are high but if inflation goes to zero prices stay the same. get used to it.

  316.  @jackeugene4018  well elon is building robots that are going to replace tons of working class workers in warehouses and factories. it's coming. and he is going to run some efficiency commission that will slash govt jobs so there will be plenty of workers who need jobs. and the new president is all for it.

  317.  @SquashFactor  well the unions are screwing up the ports. the east coast strike is not over. they are hell bent on preventing any automation which is luddite thinking. why does trucker picking up a load have to present paperwork to some guy who then has to find another guy top go find the container then get a 3rd guy to bring it to the gate so the trucker can get loaded. in the meantime the trucker is losing money waiting for hours to get his load.? on the west coast they automated that so the information gets transferred in seconds and the trucks get loaded way faster. so they lost 800 useless jobs of guys just slowing everything down

  322. then the next guy offers more and your worker jumps ship. some people move around every 6 months. by the time they know the job they leave. and they don't say anything till they tell you i'm leaving.

  323. oh but socialism is so great for the poor . too bad it just makes everyone poor except the leaders. yup a corrupt democracy was way better , but i guess the workers decided they want a paradise so voted for it. then chavez became a dictator. seams all communists / socialists end up doing that. they won't give up control.

  329. you forgot a big spoiler was ross perot who took 19% of the vote. so george bush sr lost and we got clinton. had perot not run bush sr would have been in for a second term. he, unlike his son , was smart and knew that he needed to leave sadam in iraq to control the place.
