It’s looking more and more likely the name will change to BICS.

@ateazy7801 A Mormon horse thief is still a horse thief. Not every LDS is a saint. I’m a Mormon adjacent agnostic. To be honest, I have a shallow understanding of the religion and what makes it different from other branches of Christianity. What I do know is that my Mormon friends and neighbors are good people that you can count on. I don’t assume that all Mormons are this way, but that has been my experience.

@Kabodanki ignorant comment. Vietnam and China have very distinct cultures and societies. The truth is, U.S. Hegemony is preferable to Chinese or Russian Hegemony to most of the world.

@torrencec5337 the problem is no one knows the true value of a yuan because of the China bank’s lack of transparency. The U.S. Federal Reserve is very open about money supply and interest rates ahead of time. China is very secretive about the moves that its reserve bank makes. If you think BRICS as a group is going to create a replacement reserve currency, what are waiting for? They’ve created a reserve bank that has issued bonds. Why no currency like they promised?

@paladro we needed a parking lot more than he needed that tree.

Yes, I think you’re correct. This is a lot of handy wavy denial of physics and the current state of engineering. It doesn’t matter how much motivation the airlines have to go electric if it’s technologically impossible. Unless we’re talking about lighter-than-air aircraft, such as blimps, but that is a lot slower mode of travel.

@B3Band your car or truck also many components made in Mexico. Similarly, when someone buys a car or truck made in Mexico, many parts and components are made in the U.S. The automotive business has created a cross border supply chain that has benefited both countries. All these Chinese companies are investing in Mexican manufacturing to make a profit, but the Communist Chinese government is not receiving all the revenue from these new ventures. One fun/sad fact (depending where you live), you can buy a Toyota Hi-Lux in Mexico. In the U.S., not so much.

@LizziesLukas Name a car manufacturer that sells cars in the U.S. and 95% chance they have manufacturing plants in Mexico. You’ve heard of Ford? Yeah, they’re here.

@Levitiy You’re correct that there is no Mexican “brand” of car, but you’re totally speaking from ignorance if you don’t think Mexico has car assembly lines. Seriously, do ten minutes of research before you say things like that.

@briannacluck5494 What is a relief society? Is that like a service or charity oriented organization?

“Train on Demand”. You know, the Uber of rail.

@TexasBoyDrew New = Authoritarian Populist wrapped around a cult of personality. Isolationist yet blustery. Old = Fiscal conservative, pro-business, strong defense, law & order, and socially a mix of moral conservatism with a personal liberty ethos. Contrary to the stereotype, old school conservatism is not anti-poor, it just believes that government is not the best vehicle for alleviating poverty. And it used to be that conservative and conservative adjacent organizations did a lot of service and charitable work. Conservatism used to be less of a rigid ideology and more of a set of personal principles. There was less policing of group boundaries and political identity. Thus both political parties had moderates that made up a political center. This changed radically in the 90s.

⁠ @alexguolo5872 at a certain point you cannot lower interest rates to spur growth. All the juice has been squeezed out of the interest rate naranja. What you need is a new orange filled with more juice. You get such an orange by raising interest rates for a period.

The NAFTA enabled automotive manufacturing in Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. deserves a video of its own. It’s truly a cross border manufacturing system, with parts and components crossing the border back and forth several times before final manufacturing/assembly. If you buy a car in either the U.S. or Mexico, a large percentage of your car will have been manufactured across the border. Plastics is another growing cross border industrial sector that deserves attention. Well, pretty much any industry that makes products from hydrocarbons. There’s also a growing aerospace industry in Mexico that supplies components to U.S. aerospace companies. The NAFTA story which has created wealth and opportunities across the North American borders would be a really good video topic.
