The foreign interference hysteria propaganda needs to stop. We need anti-humanist, and Canadian diminishment, restrictions on speech/policies/bribes among our politicians. Treating openness to Chinese cooperation as if China has already declared war on us is just a tool for CIA stooges to make Canada to have as its only choice/option more US subservience.
Victims of Communism organization is a nazi/CIA group who exists to justify war. Canadian establishment that gives standing ovations to Ukrainian nazis is very supportive, but this is a small victory for rationality even if Zionist hate groups were involved in blocking it.
whatever price problem there is with some kinds of parts, it will be the same whether they’re sold as lose parts or as part of a device.
didn’t actually read the article, but the Micron/Crucial announcement was about leaving the DIY direct market, as opposed to not keeping supply deals with OEMs. Though new contracts with them will be higher.
it becomes too big to fail because 80% of the workforce is tied up in it
In 2008, banking sector and auto industry needed bailouts for the investor/financial class. Certainly, there was no need to layoff core banking employees, if government support was the last resort to keep the doors open AND gain controlling stake over future banking profitablity in a hopefully sustainable (low risk in addition to low climate/global destruction) fashion. The auto bailout did have harsher terms than the banking bailout, and recessions definitely harm the sector, but the bailouts were definitely focused on the executives/shareholders who have access to political friendships that result in gifts instead of truly needed lifelines, or wider redistribution of benefits from sustainable business.
The point, is that workforce is a “talking point” with no actual relevance in bailouts/too big to fail. That entire stock market wealth is concentrated in the sector, and that we have to all give them the rest of our money (and militarist backed surveillance freedom) or “China will win” at the only sector we pretend to have a competitive chance in, is why our establishment needs another “too big to fail moment”. We’ve started QE ahead of the crash this time.
Work force is relatively small in AI sector. Big construction, but relatively low operations employment. It displaces other hiring too.
The question is whether government/people should get $60/barrel revenue before expenses, maybe $40/barrel after expenses, or $10/barrel but pump 5-10x as much, bribed to be loyal to US. Long term, obviously no corruption and high revenue/profit per barrel has its advantages. It’s not as though Exxon/Chevron can’t get access to Venezuela oil with fair deals, it’s that pretending corrupt puppets are the legitimate leaders provides extortion oil costs.
When you understand the hoops the US government is willing to jump through to get cheap foreign oil, you should understand that similar policies are used to deprive Americans of their fair share of resource revenue.
It’s genuinely bad, even if entire universe isn’t affected. Shows sloppiness. Headline is too kind for implying this could be “some kind of design upgrade”, instead of FUBAR.
I don’t believe this, because it is too stupid. 2026 demand forecasts for HBM I don’t believe will materialize, as customers can’t pay those crazy RAM prices either, OpenAI can’t pay for all of their promises, demand isn’t high enough for the planned data centers, and power and labour constraints.
I don’t believe it because Micron is a brand that has value premium to it. Even if they just keep charging extortionist prices while HBM demand fantasy remains propagandized, there will eventually be worthwhile consumer demand for RAM, right? Killing the division and firing everyone in it, is Micron saying “making too much money from HBM must forever put all eggs in HBM basket”
For sure, only pure evil motives. Establishment needs to destroy Canada to pillage it. Wrap it up in war on China and Russia. Deliver Canadian slaves to Israel and US oligarchy.
You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:
1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a “desktop multiwindow mode”
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.
2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It’s also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.
It’s not just treason to recommend submarines for US force amplification, its treason to recommend expensive boondoggle nuclear subs.
Canada is too far away to have any concerns, but you probably meant that we have a need to believe all US initiated propaganda on Russia, and we have a need to diminish it with submarines. Doing so will have massive rewards trickle down to us.
So concerned that we bribed foreign terrorists to blow shit up in Xinjiang, forcing China to spend on education and job programs there.
Really absurd. Any countries that Canada should invade? There are no other countries than US who will invade us.
Ukraine’s independence from USSR, included constitutional neutrality and no nukes. US was not main negotiator.
such pure disgusting treason. Everyone responsible for this analysis needs to be labeled as a traitor or at least fired.
these subs will be expected to deploy far into the North Atlantic with NATO and push across the Pacific to support the Indo-Pacific Strategy
The only mission any Canadian military equipment procurement strategy needs to focus only on defending and attacking the US. If we need a sub, it is to destroy American harbours, and blockade any commerce or oil rigs. All concepts of aiding US domination of the world must be suspended until we at very least get our fair share in the evil pillaging.
It’s great that we are building a large VW engineered battery factory. If we need subs, the German coastal one is the choice, and if it is purchased, the money should be reinvested into a VW EV plant. If we don’t need subs because we don’t understand a need to fight/destroy the US, then we should use the money to make an EV plant.
Ontario, even before this hike, has one of the highest electricity prices in the world due to regressive fixed fees of $50/month for Toronto Hydro. High fixed fees subsidizing lower per kwh rates (even without tax funded subsidies) provides less incentive for conservation (or home solar), and rewards high electricity users. Ontario electricity policy was already deeply corrupt and a collapsing factor for any less subsidized users.
Quebec has the cheapest rates in the world, by comparison. I heard so much rah rah about interprovince commerce. But every policy in a crisis is just more theft and destruction of Canada.
There is no reasonable definition of hostilities that applies to China. Saying so, is more hostile than not.
We have no real values, unfortunately. Supporting the US’s demonic evil, with justification that the propaganda behind evil are good values, with no real democracy/independence of our own. Our values have always been to support our extortionist oligarch’s supremacism, to call that freedom, and to propagandize the supremacism of our system over those that control against such theft and fraud.
It would be one thing if our sycophantic submission to demonism received a kick back. Such as a nice pat on the head, and some table scraps. Instead, we’re getting kicked at.
Crazy stuff. 2nd part of show is about EVs. Offering me cheap stuff is not harmful. Offering good value EVs is more important for mankind than who profits from it.
Canadian independence only exists with an openness to do business with other nations than our US slave masters who’ve declared war on us. BS that only hatred towards China is acceptable politics is treason and diminishment of Canadians and their prosperity.
