Obviously giving $250 to Canadians equally, must be a hatred of Canadians. Only giving the funds to Ukrainian nazis shows love for Canadians. Surely Marc Carney support is supporting a Russian/Chinese stooge, and you are not deeply upset that biggest CIA asset has been removed from cabinet, and only CIA allegiance is pro Canadian and without any mental health/concentration challenges.

This is rather odd, given we’re told that HTS and ISIS are enemies, and the US has been bombing ISIS to protect Syrians.

US has been bombing southern Syria, which is FSA controlled that has allied with Kurds to fight ISIS, but is well separated from Turkey/US backed factions. ISIS is simply HTS, that came from Iraq/Turkish border with Turkish support. The US is bombing anti-Turkish/ISIS factions. It is easy to not fact check this lie. ISIS is a US funded ally, and only attack US enemies. It is simply deflection for US to say they are bombing ISIS, as FSA is simply less of a friend to Israel as HTS/ISIS is.

The CIA wants Canadians to believe that the CIA fully owns Canadian politicians and media? We would be intolerant of our democracy if we knew.

Incoming Administration promises to protect oil and gas oligarchs by limiting renewables/batteries/EVs, including potentially destroying big 3 automakers with Canadian/Mexico tariffs. Harming Tesla competitors with loses on their NA investments in batteries and EVs, that includes tariffs on JPN ROK batteries. Coercion of EU colonies is likely to force their dependence on extortionist US oil and LNG imports if they want to keep US in NATO, for the privilege of buying extortionist US weapons. NATO CIA stooge leader is telling EU that they need to give up pensions, social security, and healthcare, and institute drafts, to get to 3% of GDP military spending targets. EU blaming immigrants from US sponsored destroyed lands, instead of their own US subjugation, is certain to be the political climate for abandoning sustainability and prosperity.

Coercing US consumers on NG electricity expansions, with increased LNG exports, together with datacenter expansions, is attempt at boosting NG prices, even when $2/mmbtu is not competitive with solar for new electricity. Utility oligarchs are certain to feed better at the trough if they support NG extortion agenda instead of renewables.

The main point is that in addition to cheaper energy, outside of US extortionist energy pricing, foreign datacenters also allow for global customers.

The jewelry and industrial value of gold is minimal to its reserve value. Vast majority of gold is in form of bars sitting in national vaults. Zero intention of ever using those bars for jewelry/industrial applications.

Bitcoin’s advantages over gold include

1. proof, security, and cheapness of reserves including greater protection from war pillage.
2. Cheaper and secure transactions. war, piracy, shipwreck proof. Divisibility is also a transactional advantage.
3. wealth escape options, including banking/sovereign failure and sanctions.
4. Cryptographic applications and protocol extensions including layer 2. But other crypto networks depend on bitcoin.
5. Better “tokenomics” than gold. Mining supply of gold increases when prices rise, and also attracts jewelry owners to trade in their jewelry for it to be melted. New reserves always possible finds.
6. Points 2 and 3 also make for faster and more secure banking system settlements. You don’t need to rely on counter party bank not declaring bankruptcy for next 3 days.

Bitcoin is mostly USD backed?

No. You can buy bitcoin miners in bitcoin. Electricity costs are always charged in local currency.

There will never be a default on US debt unless it’s by choice. US debt is in US dollars, which the US makes. There will be inflation. Goods may end up being exchanged in another national or international currency someday. It won’t be Bitcoin.

QE worked last time because China helped QE by also buying up US bonds. A much larger QE with US at war/tariff war with whole world will put USD at a credibility crisis, if not in next recession then the one after that. Fractional banking is the real ponzi scheme, and a banking crisis, a property collapse that causes bank collapse. Colonial currencies are not an option to escape USD devaluation, unless they free themselves from servitude. Chinese policy has so far not embraced strong currency value. Bitcoin will always be protection from financial collapse/decline.

If gold was missing from US reserves, they wouldn’t admit it.

The value of bitcoin is that no one can just print as much monopoly money politically.

temporarily increase the price so tech-bros (re: Elon) can sell at a massive profit.

Actually it is similar to gold reserves (bitcoin is better) without advantaging competitor nations that have gone in on gold reserves already. There is an energy/mining motivation aspect as well as a populist widespread participation.

In terms of “real purpose”, US debt can grow much more unsustainably, and there is something to fall back on when a default occurs. The tech bros that helped Trump do want to use other crypto projects for fintech and other innovation, rather than pump it and dump it.

$250 cash to Canadians instead of “a political gimmick” is the best spending any government can do. GST holiday is not terrible either.

Ukrainian nazi out of cabinet is best for Canada. Marc Carney far more qualified. That nazi pig fucker, and other corrupt filth, complains about giving cash to Canadians just underscores her demonic evil. Ukrainian nazi as party leader is the only option that would make me switch my vote away from Libs, though CIA and our controlled media/politicians is/will fawn over it like the traitorous scum they are.

Capitalism is a useless word. Markets and property ownership (communal property is property) exist naturally. Oligarchism and Corporatism (supremacy of those classes) are narrowly defined words. US philosophy is industrial policy to maximize oligarchist/corportist supremacy and profits. Chinese industrial policy maximizes abundance, and overall policy restricts oligarchist excess. It directs massive job creating investment, but doesn’t interfere with market wages, as labour supremacist opposition parties in the west advocate for.

A bigger deal is that they are open source.

China does have a “delete America” program, and I saw an announcement, not repeated in west, that they banned Intel, AMD, Nvidia for certain Chinese customers about 2 weeks ago. Nvidia still has a big interconnect, CUDA, and driver stability advantage in GPUs, but China is catching up on price/performance, and national security makes this an area of high investment. A Chinese Nvidia solution is to just host AI training in Thailand. Hosted costs for AI in China are 1/7th the cost of cheapest US option (Llama).

Extreme US climate terrorist energy corruption is going to limit US datacenter and affordable electricity for all. Mexico has an opportunity for electricity exports and datacenter hosting with access to Chinese energy.

Very disturbing. It is a complete lie that the policies are meant to “create a domestic battery industry”. The policies are meant to provide no escape to oil industry extortion power, and Biden tariffs were also done for their benefit and their lobbying/funding of Israel first presidency. Seems the worst of the policies is sabotaging charging infrastructure rollout, and making LA smoggy again.

“National Defense” argument is very weak, and “export development” even weaker. There is no export potential by giving small scale industry domestic monopoly power. Steel is an example of this. Very expensive steel in US means high manufacturing costs, and no exports. BS that China dumps steel is contradicted by China putting export tariff on steel. “US energy dominance” is concentrated in small nuclear bomb radius basins, or simple low travel coverage of small bomb vulnerability.

EVs are still likely to win in US. They are better cars, and big 2 are making cars with lower sticker price than ICE equivalents along with the much lower operating costs.

There was a new regulation a couple of months ago that make that RAM truck illegal (to make in future) because that design will murder people good. As a pedestrian/cyclist you want to roll over hood instead of being pulverized to the ground to be run over afterwards.

the come to want in my play good. They come in me.

11.7% yoy growth in auto sales in China. 45.8% growth in “NEV” (includes Plug in hybrids)

I saw Xiaomi as having the top selling car in China, last month. Might have been a “sub category” but should be same category as model 3.

If every dumbass gives their $250 to Ukraine voluntarily, you can hopefully bless them with an extra month or 2 of war and destruction. So that Russia increases military production more, and our NATO master tells us we need to give up health care, pensions, and welfare to boost militarty spending to 3%.

So the question is whether you have a quota as a traitorous US empire/CIA stooge, or Ukrainian nazi sympathizer, on posts diminishing Canadians into subservience?

Great news. Ukrainian nazis should not be part of Canadian government deciding on funding for Ukrainian nazis. I’d rather “cash gimmick” then more theft for US sponsored war. That’s the importance of exterminating her from cabinet voice.

Wow… Almost mainstream media saying so. They do delay mentioning China for a few paragraphs, but that is clearly the answer, if the auto/EV plant investments are cut off from US competitiveness.

Canadian politicians and media need to reject their CIA allegiances. The obvious role China can play is investing in natural resource extraction. Ask for 50/50 joint ventures in industry that processes those materials with options to buy a share of the production, and export a portion of value added processing as well as raw materials. Canada should withdraw from NATO if US puts tariffs on it. Rutte demanding extra US sycophancy by boosting military spending to 3%, and sacrificing pensions, healthcare, and social security to do so, and our media runs stories of “mandatory draft” and absurd threats to Arctic that are met by F35 purchases somehow.

All NATO colonies have significant GDP lag compared to US since Ukraine fiasco. The idea to reward Trump by importing more US weapons should be a repulsive reaction to the subjugation that Biden inflicted. Copying tariffs without Chinese consultations was by far the most pathethic act of submission of our Government, and Trump is “rewarding” our cowardice.
