52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Argentina's Milei says shutting central bank 'non-negotiable'111·2 years agoYou get dollars the same way anyone else would in the situation: You carry a trade surplus vs. the United States and then allow tax payments to be made in dollars. Prices settle as a function of dollars available, rate of circulation, and volume of goods & services available.
The policy should produce a boost in exports & employment but also produce a shortage of goods normally imported. It’ll also be a great time for Americans to visit, the dollar suddenly having a lot more purchasing power in Argentina.
Y’all, this is a rhetorical question meant to serve as a zinger against Israel. OP doesn’t want actual answers.
52fighters@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Sweden’s Tesla Blockade Is Spreading. Swedish ports will refuse to offload Teslas, cleaning crews will no longer clean showrooms, and mechanics won’t fix charging points.17·2 years agoI’m out of the loop. Why is this happening?
52fighters@kbin.socialto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russian military on edge as Ukrainian resistance gains momentum12·2 years agoRussian military expressed fears over the actions of Ukrainian partisans operating in occupied territories. The Ukrainian resistance movement is gaining momentum, leaving Russian military forces on edge.
According to Russian soldiers, Ukrainians have been engaging in various acts of resistance, including delivering poisoned food, planting explosives under collaborators’ vehicles, and providing intelligence to Ukrainian reconnaissance units about the presence and locations of occupying forces.
52fighters@kbin.socialto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•US House speaker agrees to Ukraine aid with conditions4·2 years agoVery likely these conditions are mostly existing audits of resources and rules for pressuring Ukraine to remove corrupt persons from the supply chain. It is a way to save face while giving what needs to be given to keep Ukraine out of Russia’s hands.
52fighters@kbin.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children1·2 years agoHamas doesn’t have the capacity without Iran. Iran has occupied a power vacuum created by the US from the US policy in that region.
52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Israel announces 'total' blockade on Gaza12·2 years agoIs there a reasonably safe way to provide water during the type of military operation that’s coming? Pipes have historically been used to smuggle weapons into Gaza, even the water pipes, so Israel is likely trying to contain that source of weapons during the upcoming operation.
52fighters@kbin.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children63·2 years agoThis conflict doesn’t exist in isolation. This is part of a larger geo-political struggle with the decline of US influence in the region being taken-up by Iran. Much of this could have been avoided if the US never invaded Iraq. If only I had a time machine…
52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Israel announces 'total' blockade on Gaza42·2 years agoHopefully the blockade can be lifted soon. Since it appears Israel is at war against the government of Gaza (Hamas), there’s a difficult line to walk where a complete and lasting victory is achieved while avoiding humanitarian disaster. A quick victory will hopefully avoid the most extremes of humanitarian disaster. In the long term I hope nearby Arab states help provide a peaceful solution to the problem.
52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump accused of sharing nuclear submarine details with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt68·2 years agoIf he could be found guilty of a serious crime before the first GOP primary, that would be super helpful. Can we get this done?
52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Russia has tested a nuclear-powered missile and could revoke a global atomic test ban, Putin says191·2 years agoI’ll begin to worry with the mistresses and children of Russian oligarchs all leave their lives of western luxury and return to Russia. Too many Russian elite are living it up in the west for nuclear weapons to be a credible threat.
52fighters@kbin.socialto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Intelligence shows Russia may target Black Sea civilian shipping7·2 years agoI could see someone like the UK send in military ships for “civilian de-mining operations” that leads to also being used to escort civilian ships. Seems like a great way to up the level of support without going to war.
52fighters@kbin.socialto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Bloomberg: Germany to send more air defenses to protect Ukraine grain routes2·2 years agoThe article makes it sound like Ukraine is using small ships that hug the coast to get grain to Romania where it can be more freely shipped to markets. Is this correct?
52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•U.S. Knew Saudis Were Killing African Migrants8·2 years agoThere’s government in SA and there’s Islamic religious authority. Two families agreed long ago to separate spheres. The religious authority has long been frustrated with the government and are the ones who attacked us on 911. Someone needs to break the religious monopoly in SA.
52fighters@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In the US, what happens if you sustain a life threatening injury and you don't have insurance?111·2 years agoMost hospitals are setup as non-profit entities and use medical debt write-offs to exhibit their charity. In all truth, they intentionally drive their own expenses sky high to increase revenue to astronomical levels so to give executives running these organizations excessively high compensation. These write-offs are just part of the gig.
52fighters@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•China's fertility rate drops to record low 1.09 in 2022- state media21·2 years agoAlso now it is even harder to support having children for the average Chinese because there’s an expectation to take care of your parents and grandparents. If all six are living what resources remain fire marriage and children?
52fighters@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How common is it for atheists to be against homosexuality/abortion?03·2 years agoEvery year “secular pro-life” has a fairly large contingency at the March for Life in Washington DC.
I am myself a pro-life Catholic but I also have found nonreligious on the right are much more prone to radical and violent ideas than religious folks on the right. For example I don’t know anyone who loves Trump at my church. Some just accept him as being the highly flawed option we have in the moment whereas I know some crazy lovers of his that are absolutely without religion. My experience might or might not play out in the numbers but it is my experience.
52fighters@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How Do You Deep Clean a Mattress? What Tools Do I Need?2·2 years agoI am on about 15 years on this current mattress. Seems to be doing just fine.
52fighters@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What foods would be best to give to someone living on the streets in a very hot/humid country?61·2 years agoI carry gift cards to Subway for the homeless. Subway restaurants are almost everywhere, don’t cost a lot, can be reasonably healthy, and most people like the food well enough.
