  • Second, the federal government has the advantage of being able to deficit spend to keep universal healthcare solvent that states don’t. MMT keeps the lights on.

    That's actually a valid concern but IMHO it just shows how utterly broken our financial system it is if it relies on money being printed anew continuously, instead of creating functioning tax systems for the state to raise money to feed itself.

  • Why is this slop? They do have a point. Why not implement social services at the local level?

  • Very nice :)

  • Insightful article. I found especially this part interesting:

    Among the difficulties Europe faces in its competition with China is that it is unclear what steps Beijing could take that would most effectively address the trade imbalance. Part of the problem lies in the fact of Chinese industrial efficiency and the fierce competition within its domestic market that drives standards up and prices down.

    Beijing has promised to address what it calls “involution”, when competition is so fierce that margins are squeezed so much that nobody can make a sustainable profit. But a major rebalancing of trade would also require an increase in Chinese domestic consumption on a scale that few policy analysts believe to be likely.

    In other words, Europe doesn't even know what it would like China to do because they don't even know what China could do to help Europe. So ... that's like if you're not satisfied with the work that one of your subordinates is doing, but you can't even meaningfully put up any argument or criteria of why you're dissatisfied. It's like a cat that's meowing or a baby that's crying but it doesn't even know itself what it wants. That's the EU right now. (except that China is not a subordinate and more a coworker)

    In other words, the EU is literally complaining about the fact that China does industry the right way, in the sense of driving quality up and production costs down (as one should; as is the core goal of capitalism as it was originally envisioned) by automating everything. And China tries to "help" the EU or at least respect the EU's demands by ... basically telling companies inside China to be less efficient and fuck up some more(?) and then they also say that basically, chinese citizens "need to consume more". Which, if you really think about it, is a very philosophically odd thing to say. Why does the EU care how much the chinese citizens consume? What's the advantage to the EU over simply incinerating any "excess production"? Where's the point in it all?

  • The question is: Did your depression cause your sex drive, or did your sex drive cause your depression, or are these two entirely unrelated and only coincidentally correlated?

  • yeah i think to meaningfully embed peertube, we'd probably have to copy the peertube video player into the Lemmy frontend/app.

  • Maybe there's only underlying posts and users to the fediverse, and the difference between Lemmy and Mastodon is mostly how they're organized and presented in the feed

  • that's crazy to think about ... wtf

  • Yeah i was thinking one could probably generate something like synthetic petroleum when one has excess clean energy and store the synthetic fuel for many months.

  • First thing: biomass is about 200-250g of CO²eq per kWh. Burning biomass is polluting, and thus is not a viable alternative to nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, and the other low-carbon power sources we should aiming for.

    I think "biomass" CO2 emission depends on whether it's renewable biomass (which i meant here) or non-renewable biomass (a.k.a fossil fuels). If you consider it over a 10-year average.

  • ok. Würdest du sagen, die verbeserung in der Herstellungsmethodik betrifft vor allem hoch verarbeitete Lebensmittel, oder betrifft das auch Grundprodukte?

  • Fun fact: Duelling and stuff like that was outlawed in germany around 1500. Ewiger Landfriede

  • well what did you expect? it's the option that makes most money

  • The porn industry is one of the most abusive ones around, that's well known. It's a bit comparable to the cattle industry, i'd say, people are literally treated like cattle, moved around with sticks and pokes, without dignity, it's gross.

    stick to non-commercialized amateur porn. it's 10000% better.
