@buwaya427 @Rakeshhkumaar No, he exposed how the US uses high-ranking economic consultants, intel agencies, & intl financial institutions to trick developing nations into massive, unpayable infrastructure debt. Traps foreign leaders in political & economic subservience to American corporate interests.

They call it a “free market” until you trade outside the dollar, nationalize your resources, or elect a leader Washington doesn’t approve of. Then come the sanctions. Then come the coups. Then comes war. Suddenly, “free market” means following Washington’s rules.

@KimmeeLee2 @Rakeshhkumaar I had his book 20 years ago, "Economic Hitman". And that, pushing loans, WAS his argument. Look it up, his book is online. As it happens 40 years ago I was on contract with the Asian Development Bank, a branch of the IMF, one of his villains. And thats not how they worked.

@buwaya427 @Rakeshhkumaar Don't get hung up on "imposed debt". Watch the video & you will understand. Here's the famous TEDx Talk from 10 years ago (1.1M views). Economic Hitman John Perkins: How the USA Used Debt and Economic Sabotage to Control the World Jun 24, 2016 youtu.be/btF6nKHo2i0

@KimmeeLee2 @Rakeshhkumaar Guy is a bit of a crank. There is a wide range of economic outcomes and situations in the third world and his ideas just dont fit with the complexity of reality.

@itsnwts You need fresh water for coolant for most industrial processes. This is recycled; thats why you have cooling towers and evaporative cooling systems. But you will lose a % of this to evaporation. Dirty or salt water makes scale and corrosion problems much worse.

Why do AI data centers need fresh water. Not recycled. Not wastewater. Fresh, drinkable water, burned through by the millions of gallons just to keep servers cool. Why are we using a basic human necessity to prop up machines?

Anti-Nuclear sentiment would be less annoying if they stick to real arguments instead of gross misinformation about radioactive waste.

@Ariszn12 Almost all those qualified for the professions enter school reading already. The biggest issue, for them, is escaping the mass through "gifted&talented" programs, etc. Teachers are trained, in the main, to deal with the lowest category.

Teachers are paid like they're unnecessary, without them, your doctor can't read. Your lawyer can't argue. Your engineer can't build. But pay them like babysitters.

@KimmeeLee2 @Rakeshhkumaar The Shah achieves Mossadeghs goal of nationalizing the oil industry (indeed the Shah was personally friendly with Mossadegh), and Iran enters an era of high growth and modernization. The "westernized" women are from the Shahs era, not Mossadeghs.

@KimmeeLee2 @Rakeshhkumaar There is no such thing as imposed debt. Go check out the variety of international debt levels abong third world countries. Borrowing too much is a choice.

@ItsLulu_7 Soulless corporations are made up of communities of lots of real people, all with souls. And your 401K is tied to their success, directly or indirectly, so you are part of these communities.

BREAKING: The California Democratic Party just endorsed Prop 40, the 5% billionaire wealth tax on the November ballot. More than 80% of registered Democrats in CA support the billionaire wealth tax. It was about time!

This thing is wild. It’s the Zapata AirScooter, a hybrid-electric single-seat VTOL aircraft. The whole pitch is that it’s light enough to fall under FAA Part 103 ultralight rules in the US, so you don’t need a pilot’s license. Just a short training course and you’re good to go. At $250,000, it’s genuinely one of the coolest personal flying machines that’s actually close to reality instead of pure concept-car vaporware.

@MorEdge_Insight Hard pass! What do you think will happen when hundreds of these are hovering together with absolutely no rules, rights of way, wind gusts, sudden downpours, etc? Yes, it will be a deadly mess.

@MAXIMUM_ODEN Clostermann was in the Free French Air Force, but he spent WWII seconded to the RAF. I read his book "The Big Show", highly recommended. He even studied at Cal Tech for a while, very smart guy.

【これぞドイツの変態技術】空前絶後の前後串型ツインエンジン、究極の最速プロペラ機「Do335 プファイル」を知っていますか!? ドルニエ Do 335「プファイル」は、航空工学の常識を覆すユニークな設計と、当時のプロペラ機として極限に近い戦闘能力を持った、第二次世界大戦におけるドイツ軍最速の戦闘爆撃機です。 通常の双発機のように主翼にエンジンを並べるのではない。なんと「機体の前後に一直線に並べる」という狂気のレイアウト(プッシュ・プル方式)を採用。愛称のプファイル(矢)の通りのデザイン👍 これによって双発機のパワーを持ちながら、単発機並みの異次元の低空気抵抗を実現。その最高速度はなんと【763km/h】。 大戦末期、イギリス空軍のトップエース、ピエール・クロステルマンが操縦する高速テンペスト戦闘機4機編隊が、低空を飛行する1機のDo 335を発見。 全速力で追撃したものの、Do 335は圧倒的な加速力であっという間に水平の彼方へ消え去り、追いつくことすらできなかったと手記に記されています。 さらに、超高速域からの脱出時に「自分が後ろのプロペラに切り刻まれる」のを防ぐため、世界初クラスの射出座席に加え【脱出時に後ろのプロペラと尾翼を爆破して吹き飛ばす】という、ロマンと狂気が詰まった安全装置まで完全実装。 30mmモーターカノンと20mm機関砲による圧倒的重武装。爆弾は機内にスマートに内蔵。戦闘爆撃機として開発されたため、戦闘機を圧倒する重武装と、爆弾の機内搭載能力を合わせ持っていました。 まさにドイツが戦争末期に生み出した、早すぎた怪物(モンスター)です。 #Do335 #プファイル #ドイツ軍 #軍事 #WW2

The thought of ultra wealthy elites achieving immortality while the rest of humanity struggles to afford chicken tenders and car insurance is the most dystopian scenario I can fathom.

@buwaya427 Sorry but that 3.3 figure is heavily fudged. There is no way inflation is just 3.3%.

If you owned a $50,000 worth of rubber or wool 6 months ago, your purchasing power remains largely unaffected. If you owned $50,000 in cash 6 months ago, it is now worth what $40,000 was. This isn't inflation. This is a full blown collapse of the idea of fiat currency.
