Considering China is simultaneously opening up unprecedented infrastructure-for-oil deals it might just be reinforcing the importance of that. I'm just leery of any statement out of the non-IRGC part of Iranian leadership because it feels like they make shit up and get overruled frequently

You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?

Agreed but it is not open source, it depends on a central server, and personally enriches a man named Nil who went to Tel Aviv university. I would prefer a music tracker.

Plus, Soulseek has a lot of quirks that make it less reliable for slow downloads. It's not a "fire and forget" solution to acquiring files in the same way a magnet link with at least one seeder lurking around is. Soulseek will not just start again when they come back, it has other rate limits that can be jumped with their "donations"

Kamala campaigned on being harsher on immigration than Trump. She's the one who threw what should have been the easiest election ever. Nobody like Trump term 1. The dems becoming obsessed with statistics that give them an excuse only to appeal to the white middle class threw the game. You should appeal to VOTERS. But, go ahead and scold. Assume people were acting out of spite, and not the dems who hate us.

This is like worrying about Japanese investors buying a stadium, the article is very misleading because they would never employ writers who would explain why the US benefits from the global ruling class recycling its dollars into asset markets here. Basically, there is nowhere else to put it that won't get left behind by the bubble and devalued.

This isn't Saudi Arabia buying the USA. This is one of the USA's dogs getting a bone to chew on. Same with Qatar. Don't be so shortsighted.

But yes, China isn't a threat to Americans. They literally want the quality of life of Americans to go up, and the financial leverage of the US to go down. The main thing stopping Americans from living a good life is the financial leverage of their middle class and elites. (Most private equity funds are managing retirements and pensions, which most workers do not have. Same deal with housing.)

I'm so glad that Altman is going to expose more people to the "erotic literature" and "reddit sex discussion" lingo - he is definitely not still a pedophile BTW

Whether or not it turns a profit, it's more doubling down on the transition to a post-industrial economy that some of them have to realize is impossible.

My question is do the investors have any exit plan? Or is the US dollar system such a lock-in that they can only keep running like Wile E. Coyote and try not to look down?

Yeah we actually started out with you guys "taking the bait", realizing it's too hard to argue with me, and now you're just acting smug. Not gonna work on me.

Haha, look at this little cutie on the sidelines. Why don't you try your hand at refuting it? What's wrong? No brain?
