Hail Trump in need of a Guardian ‘cause he is off the Rails!

Yep dystopian Science Fiction style future awaits.

We just need to ignore it for a while as Donny the Demented will probably sleep it off.

Something unusual is happening here, these Techbros are trying to invoke patriotism and leverage fear of the insurgents to aid their monopoly. It’s unusual as it signalling weakness rather than confidence in their ability to develop and manage their technology.

It would be a shock to a lot of people. Starting on Mastodon and Lemmy is hard at first as there is nothing there unless you actively work at it. We will have to see how it goes.

Not just Zuck anymore, you can buy cheap versions in Kmart.

Surely the data centres should pay for their utilities including electricity!

I waited quite a while before buying an EV. The wife wanted a Tesla but I couldn’t stomach buying from Musk so we have a Chinese one. Cheaper so it wasn’t that much of an investment and comparable to most non EV alternatives.

As they sell them in Europe we can be sure that that meet the more stringent European standards too. The idea that Chinese vehicles are all crap has passed its use by date.

Isn’t it just that when the Chinese recognised that they needed to dominate and innovate in the car market all the other manufacturers doubled down on doing business as usual? That the Chinese have a dynamic, robotic car industry with a 1 billion person market is really going to make it difficult to compete.

The Chinese market isn’t perfect by a long stretch as they don’t respond to market signals very well hence the over supply of ICE vehicles because their population has gone EV. That means they have a lot of ICE vehicles on their hands. Especially since Trump closed the Straight of Hormuz.

It’s just symptomatic of the destruction of social and diplomatic capital (pardon the cold calculating economic word) that this old demented fools is engaged in. His economic destruction and greed and theft is another story.

There’s a TV show on the ABC in Australia called Planet America that analyses presidential elections for Australians. Since Demented Don’s ascension it hasn’t stopped yet. Just too much to discuss.

What you say about local names is correct, however the issue is that Demented Don has just decided that this is a good way to punish Canada. It is still surprising that a president can make such a change by executive order and there is no uproar in the US.

When is an 8 year old considered legally competent to sign legal documents? Not in Australia and I thought not in the US.

Isn’t this just common practice? It’s called load shedding.

Not cheap Chinese chips! How unusual for the Chinese to have cheap chips! The world will end.

They should be investigating more wisely?

Techbros giving drugs away royalty free? Yep, we would need to be high to think that.

That’s capitalism! Planning is an anathema.

Won’t somebody think of the billionaire fossil fuel owners?
