Quak, Quak, quuaakk
But will it be delivered?
Yup… this is something where heavy automation could play a role. Scan 100 pct of containers and have software look for contraband. Then signal people to take action.
Yeah… I just refuse to use the /s … so I revel in the down votes instead.
I have no clue how people can think the US becomes rich from drill baby drill. It’s private companies that drill and make the money, while subsidised to the hilt by the US government. Any non oil executive or oil shareholder that repeats the slogan u ironically is a moron!
Sure! However the whole of Europe is currently under the nuclear umbrella of the US. If trump comes back, the US will have lost their ability to be relied upon. Meaning our own nuclear deterrence is the only option. The whole US presidential race is possibly already a signal that that horse has fled the barn, so it might happen regardless.
Price wise you don’t need 5k ICBMs to function. A few dozen of the modern types suffices.
I’d imagine we will see France expanding their nuclear program or the EU as a block.
Good to see the creap UAVs are being countered with cheap interceptors.
Drill baby drill. And in the mean time, import all the crude you can, refine it and sell. The shareholders must be paid!
Economies of scale. Once the cartels figured out it’s just a numbers game, a lot of the “smuggling” turned into " just send 10 full containers of the stuff, if 9 get seized we still win". Production is cheap.
What moral high ground?
Because it is a common set of rules that actions can be judged against. And this used to mean something. But just like with the laws in a country… if a large group ignores it while being immune to the consequences you also have problems.
What I mean to say is that enforcement is key. In the case of Russia there are sanctions that grow and increasingly constrict daily. I’d argue they don’t go far enough… all trade with Russia should be stopped, full stop, but that will cause food issues for people in other countries. So it should be no trade except these items.
Fair point. Still their proposition is underwhelming imho.
Their PROFIT dropped from 16 billion to 13 billion. They get to ask employees for a pay cut when they make a loss, maybe.
Now they are asking the employees to take less money for their labor (time) so VW can have enough profit to promise/give to the shareholders.
That something needs to happen is clear, but a pay cut is not one of them.
VW investors for years underinvested in the future of the company, refused to change course, and now they want employees to foot the bill? Fuck them.
Oh and in 2023, they INCREASED dividend payout to 28 percent. https://www.volkswagen-group.com/en/dividend-15991.
And in 2022 they paid out dividends TWICE: https://ycharts.com/companies/VWAGY/dividend
Keep in mind we are talking about the company that conspired with other companies and installed hard & software in their cars so they could keep wrecking the planet while keeping sales high by faking emission values. How many of their higher-ups are not in prison for crimes against humanity is a crime in itself. Winterkorn should be flogged publicly every day for this.
The nerve of this company. They are making LESS PROFIT and asking the personell to take a pay cut. I hope the whole VW crew goes on strike till the management is replaced.
Why does dropbox exist. For the same money Microsoft offers equal storage, plus office.
I have no clue how people use reddit anymore. If I open the app I am greeted with an unrecognisable mess of stuff I never asked for. Sorting is fucked, my frontpage contains stuff I don’t care for and everything seems to be yelling at me for attention causing me to close the app again.
I hope a Kamala win results in a boot on the neck of the fascists that have propped up Trump… but they will probably do nothing. And let is fester.
They don’t have to be perfect, it these things can decimate battalions at once once at scale.
Probably because shooting down stuff that moves in your airspace puts commercial aviation at risk. So I’ll guess they need to think about when it is legally allowed so that IF something horrible happens, the air defense operators are not on the hook
It’s more that zelensky just said that only a small portion of this year’s aid was actually delivered.
