  • TIL USA banned asbestos only in 2024

    跳过

  • "The largest 26 of these trusts paid about 2.4 million claims totaling about $10.9 billion up to 2008."

    Sounds like they were made to pay people. The companies are bankrupt...the trusts ensure funds are available to pay people despite the companies being insolvent.

  • NYC congestion pricing tolls staying on after Trump administration moves to end the program

    跳过

  • The toll is definitely intended to collect money. Reduction in congestion is a side effect. MTA is in a huge budget deficit. The tolling (and subsequent bonding) would fund them entirely.

  • How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time

    跳过

  • Mindfulness meditation

  • I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay?

    跳过

  • What? You have it backwards. 0 withholdings means the largest amount withheld on your paycheck, and a higher refund end of year.

  • Duolingo sees 216% spike in US users learning Chinese amid TikTok ban and move to RedNote

    跳过

  • Except Duolingo regularly releases these numbers. In July 2024 it was reported to be slightly above 9m monthly chinese learners..

    So quite significant rise.

  • What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?

  • Telegram Hands U.S. Authorities Data on Thousands of Users

    跳过

  • Ahh yes, the "i have nothing to hide why do I need privacy" argument.

    Do you close your curtains or lower the blinds? Lock your front door? You must be a criminal.

    Asking some reasonable questions about Elon Musk's "help" with the Cybertruck bombing case

    跳过

  • Cameras at a charging station are obvious - the wire in those stations are extremely valuable. Or, vandalism.

  • Musk says he's a free speech absolutist

    跳过

  • I mean no, the shield would have to face the other way for it to be blocking free speech.

  • About to turn the car to a flying car

    跳过

  • How am I supposed to obtain income?

    跳过

  • (In the US) No, you are either misuderstanding unemployment or you read wrong information. There is no such elgiblity requirement in any state.

    File for unemployment. You have nothing to lose by trying. Get an official decline, and even then, dispute it.

  • flouride

  • I don't understand your point.

    Nobody drinks the ocean. Fluoride is barely active topically. Most humans rarely if at all swim in the ocean.

  • The high price is from high labor costs. So, once tarrifs happen, it'll be competitive, no?

  • WHERE

    跳过

  • ... and that's relevant, how? Were talking about tarrifs. Puerto Rican coffee has no increase in tarrifs. Puerto rico grows coffee - not a particularly huge amount of it, (yet), but it's good (not great).

  • WHERE

    跳过

  • Puerto Rico.

  • I'm not sure if people are suggesting that oil itself is a magical solution or if they're suggesting that having exclusive access to an extremely profitable resource (oil) enables a country with a tiny population to make socialism work.

    I have a strange feeling that if oil became worthless Norway would quickly stop doing socialism well

  • Sweden is fairly unique as it's economy wasn't destroyed by WWII, and it's stance on banking, foreign exports, and foreign ownership has enabled it to make massive profits. But the economy is seriously struggling today. The average home loan takes 100 years to pay off.

    Finland economy replaces oil with timber and an extremely educated population. Both of which are not sustaining the model well as the country is in recession. The timber industry isnt producing sustainable profits like it used to. The debt-to-GDP ratio is extremely high. The highly educated population is leaving and people don't typically immigrate to Finland.

    So arguably the model isn't working anymore, without something like oil to fall back on.
