The reasoning is actually that a food desert means greater revenues from a larger market circle for the desert wanderers to travel so they can eat. Company gets most of the profit without offering convenient service from the captives.
There is zero reason to run grocery stores at a loss. Competition that doesn’t extort as strongly as other cartel members does screw over the cartel.
Instead of closing them, accept NYC offer of 5cents on the dollar to take over their lease. Everyone gets what they want.
OP sepcifically mentioned EVs. This sector is deflationary even in US, where better value/performance cars cost less every year. More dramatic deflation in less corrupt countries. Australia home solar costs under 1/3rd of US due to different politico-social corruption levels.
EVs and home solar are a great match that permits going offgrid at substantially lower cost if an EV is parked at home during day. That same dynamic allows a society/community to power itself through solar+batteries, and EVs parked at work. It’s not a question of look at our corrupt obstructionist oligarchical monopoly state of societies for examples of lack of economic success as proof that it will forever be impossible.
In a market or effincient economy, where peak occurs mid hot summer day, 100% solar dominated renewables makes sense. In Spring and fall, EVs can absorb daily oversupply and profit from trading back at night. Winter is when solar can fail to meet heating and electricity needs, and so either backup energy sources or having much more than 100% peak demand in order to make green H2 that can be exported to where it gets cold is needed.
0 new nuclear is best amount of nuclear for any economy.
China approved 66.7GW of new coal-fired capacity, started construction on 94.5GW of coal power projects
New power plants don’t mean using those power plants. Resilience/backup power. Use of coal for electricity has declined despite new coal plants.
Data published Wednesday by ACEA found that Tesla’s car sales in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association fell to 13,863 units in May, down 27.9% year on year.
Tesla’s European market share also dropped to 1.2% from 1.8% in May 2024.
European/other than China EV makers also did well, that this and other headlines this year, intentionally obfuscate. The combination of both above numbers means overall EV growth was about 25%. 93% is non US/China.
What if I wanted to cook the chicke through friction, by say inserting an object 3 fingers or so thick in and out of its cavity as fast as athletically possible? … so um… how long can I keep fucking my chicken?
Iran is happy with permanent ceasefire. Israel had far greater initial demonic fantasies, and so we can say they lost. Trump’s glorious victory strike no one should question its success is essentially helpful intervention on behalf of Iran. Israel better off not receiving missiles, too.
Emperor rutte has spoken. Well deputy emperor to trump, rutte, has spoken. NATO members all agree to destroy their societies in order to boost military spending by 150%. Traitors in member parliaments will need to be executed if they object to the empire.
At least Europes war on Russia will be worth it. Every 100 years, no one left alive to remember last failure.
Only because genocidal zionazi supremacists control the us, and by extension g7+nato, Iran should not pursue nuclear energy, because Israel would always accuse them of pursuing more. There is no economic value for nuclear energy. Solar + batteries much more effective.
Still, negotiations to that end are far more human. I wouldn’t want you to have nuclear weapons, but killing you should have a better reason Than my supremacy.
FYI, Israelis aren’t allowed to leave Israel now, because playing the victim card requires using them as human shields. 9/11 was greatest US empire boost over Americans in history, and DNC firmly backs war and empire enslavement of Americans.
Robocop Bell Riots suppression?
According to most well funded candidate for skynet, there may be alternative distributions that have been updated in last 16 years. Some of those updates were improvements.
Ukraine NATO version of a ceasefire proposal is so Ukraine can dig new defensive lines, and let western weapons production catch up with donations. Conducting terrorist operations day before meetings doesn’t put Russia in a good mood either.
Zelensky power/bribery clinging does not bring peace to Ukraine any time soon.
Could be 3 row suv. $35k is pretty cheap, and cheaper to have unfinished back row and trunk.
Likely to help usa accuse China of sabotaging their latest deal. Or increase taiwan china tensions. Deeply anti democratic moves on island in recent months.
What do we want? sKYNET!!!
When do we want it? As soon as it can beat beginner atari chess?!?!
Some anti-China ISPs won’t let some tablets connect. wifi hotspot from phone to rescue.
The higher question is why shouldn’t society be punitive?
To start with prison/justice, rape/violence being a feature means gang support systems are a feature, and crime university is a feature. Police are empowered by being agents of punishment. Privatization of parts of justice system incentivize kickbacks for punishment, and school to prison pipeline for the structurally oppressed classes.
Structural oppression in society serves oligarchist low hanging fruit of wage suppression. Structural desperation that motivates gang/mafia membership and crime as alternate protection from a punitive society. Importantly, if society isn’t hateful, corrupt, and punitive, then why the fuck would you care about a politician who champions putting bandaids on it to make society more hateful and divisive, even if their real agenda is more war and service to Israel? Late stage democracy ensures collapse for zionist oligarchist pillaging.
UBI/freedom dividends is the only democratic idealist function. Not political power. It eliminates structural crime and oppression. Liquid democracy with UBI eliminates corruption and dysfunctional policy. A functional improving sustainable society is impossible when hate is prioritized.
You do not want to use this. I am warning you. Turn away now.
