I still believe the American Social democrats fumbled the bag after 2016. Bernie Sanders could have started the American Social Democratic party and they would have won both 2020 and 2024 elections. | I’m not saying Sanders should had run, a younger 40 something non establishment figure would have murdered Biden and Trump.
Social democratic reforms, are widely supported among both voting blocs. It’s lowkey insanity that party doesn’t exist yet.
You’re sure it’s not Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire?
I don’t think things will improve until they have got worse still.
Shit won’t improve before people kill oligarchs. We’ve not seen a peasant correction in Europe since the French revolution.
It creates a single point of failure, which is one of the key reasons for why darkweb/tor arrests tends to happen in waves. As the law enforcement agencies, tends to get a treasure trove of data whenever they hit and loot the main server of a marketplace
Well, all of our politicians are and that’s the problem
Nuclear is still the most expensive power source, while wind turbines are one of the cheapest per MWH produced.
Half a decade ago I was fully pro nuclear, but battery technology have developed to a point we’re almost capable of using it as a base loader; There’s an added power grid capacity requirement for battery farm baseloading, but there’s ideas of how to solve this. By having batteries sitting locally at the largest power generating sites, with a switch to determine whether batteries should be filled or power should be pushed to the grid
But that’s two different funding mechanics.
Defined benefit, buys bonds. So the government wants to build a metro in Sydney, borrow the money and own 100%.
Defined contribution, buys ownership. So the government wants to build a metro in Sydney, sells 40% ownership to fund the building phase.
It’s ultimately a global market. But every defined benefits plan active, adds to demand for bonds. Lowering the yield.
Defined contribution schemes are bad for the people selling bonds, e.g. people buying homes, governments and mega corps
So they’ll drop from inflated to fairly priced?
Bind yields are up and will continue to increase, because countries are moving from defined benefit- to contribution based- pension scheme’s.
Which makes bonds and the guaranteed returns a less interesting investment vehicle. The big pension market under transition right now is the Netherlands, but it’s a general trend across the globe that countries have been moving from defined benefit to contribution based schemes.
Another key difference, the Railway mania was powered by commoners investing. Not just a few rich bozos and enormous enterprises putting their money into it, as it is with AI
Nah, far from everyone wants to be a trillionaire, nor a billionaire. Sure most would want financial independence, but not a lot more than that
When the investors are Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon. Then they have some deep pockets
Ecosia is a little more complicated, as they’re co-owning an European focused search index with Qwant.
I can’t remember exact numbers, but the majority of searches in Ecosia/Qwant is not forwarded to Bing anymore
But you’re free to pass some of it to your guild members
