  1. Letting in all those economic migrants and refugees, combined with this situation will be interesting to watch unfold. What will the majority of those people do when Germany can no longer provide them with the jobs and economic hope that they were expecting?

  2. The US is probably the only nation that is able to refine sludge!

  3. Yes, yes, and yes. The only thing you left out is the debilitating economic impact of the zero-Covid policy, but otherwise a good summary of China's situation.

  4. Ah, but the wind-swept look of his hair more than makes up for any deterioration of sound quality!

  5. That may be in part because of the decoupling that is happening so that there is less engagement from China and Russia in the comment sections.

  6.  @mm650  You might want to edit your original post then to clarify that it is a daily production per person.

  7. Throughout history, warfare has been the norm. The past 70 years have been unusually peaceful by comparison; only the modern ability to quickly get news from around the world makes it appear otherwise.

  8. That "sufficient food for one human for one day" changes the picture drastically when multiplied by 365 days. An average of 3 cubic meters becomes about 1000 cubic meters needed to feed each individual.

  9. Sure if you forget about all the times when humans simply tear down without any viable replacement options. Haiti and South Africa come to mind.

  10. Never knew there was an “outdoor prison” with a 5-star hotel! Who’d have guessed?

  11. Like a drunk trying to save a drowning man, both will go down.

  12.  @SueFerreira75  IMO I think India is doing what is perceived as best for India's population. They need oil and are taking advantage of Russia, not "snuggling up" and stockpiling oil while they can get it cheap. BRICS is a very unnatural alliance.

  13. I don't think that corn is food grade, or only fit for animal feed at best.

  14. There is no historical precedent for a 200% overbuild, but “zombie apocalypse” comes to mind.

  15. Kudos to whoever picked out your clothes - the shirt matches your eyes and the coat matches your hair color!

  16.  @alanparsonsfan  LOL - Wilson and C-Milk have several channels. I just pulled up one of their videos on China Fact Chasers. I think they need to keep a few steps ahead of the CCP.

  17. Judging by what’s happening with companies that try to increase their ESG scores, the only way for investors to win is to ensure that their stock portfolio doesn’t include any “woke” (high ESG) companies.

  18. Cool hat!

  19. And given in a whisper, almost like he's embarrassed about it.

  20.  @MoireFly  Assuming immigrants are willing to assimilate, it is a good thing so time will tell which way the large influx will go.

  21. If you think that the CCP would accept a Western vaccine, you haven't been paying attention. It would be a major embarrassment for Xi, showing that the propaganda that the CCP has been feeding the mainland people isn't true.

  22. Plus Russia certainly won't gain any support from all those who import grain such as Egypt and many other nations. If Russia targets wheat from Ukraine, it pretty much guarantees more support for the Ukrainian resistance.

  23. PZ has been A WALL for the last few days - as he sits in front of A WALL. 😂

  24. This is why I switched to buying flax/linen over cotton whenever possible. It takes far less water to grow and process flax.

  25. China, too. They even have a state-owned enterprise defaulting on debt.

  26.  @alanparsonsfan  China Update is a daily must for me and I also read all the comments so I've come to recognize a few names. It's always a pleasure for me when I recognize those names posting comments on other channels. It would be very interesting to listen to a conversation between Tony and Peter!

  27. LOL - Engineers, physicists, doctors, and other scientists are also wrong - and FREQUENTLY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QuXLucH3Q&list=PLkhMJq-JMMWkHX1h6GM_PmfSuKI0J-ld7&index=22&t=21s

  28. Only those who only get info from the MSM. Anyone who's commenting here doesn't fit in that category.

  29. I like it! And his coat matches the hair color while his shirt matches his eye color.

  30. How does Iran discounting oil impact Saudi Arabia? I understand that SA needs to keep prices as high as possible to fund a transition away from being an export-dependent economy.

  31. Peter’s liberal biases really show in this video. Time he gets out of his ivory tower.

  32. "China's final warning" happened more than 900 times in the 1950s and early 1960s. Look it up in Wikipedia. The CCP is a joke.

  33. Isn't it sad that we need to be reminded of what it takes to produce the foods that we eat?

  34.  @jimluebke3869  I think it is the insane companies that are suffering. Look what’s happening to Anheuser-Busch, Target, Disney as just a few examples.   People are getting sick of having this crap rammed down their throats. The equation includes more than just the investors, it must include the consumers. ESG isn’t regulated because it’s merely promoted by some companies that loan money to businesses to force them into adopting this foolishness. If the companies adopting ESG go broke, they won’t be able to payback those loans to the likes of Blackrock.

  35. They're holding them off and that was a shocker - no one expected that.

  36. Would have loved some insight into each candidate's position regarding CCP China.

  37. The evil of Russia's tactics always stuns me.

  38. Labor participation rate is low in part because more boomers are retiring and many retiring early. MANY people looked at the Covid craziness in 2020 and actively searched for any way possible to retire early. I'm one of those - not yet claiming SS or pension, but drawing down a retirement account. Others who were younger moved in with family or took in family at a low rent for a win-win. People discovered that things could change rapidly and unexpectedly - and re-evaluated their work/life priorities.

  39. Keep in mind that now Ukraine was a net EXPORTER To the rest of the world, so this time, it won't be JUST the Ukrainians that will face hunger because of Russia's actions, but also all those who relied on Ukrainian wheat and cooking oil.

  40. Putin's BFF, Xi, must be so insulted by Russia buying from Iran and North Korea!

  41. The goat (Javan/Asia Minor/Turkey) and the ram (Persia/Iran) are getting ready to fulfill the prophecy of Daniel.

  42. When half the people he believes he can trust are incompetent, that says SO MUCH about Putin!
