naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Facebook designates Grayzone journalist Kit Klarenberg a ‘dangerous individual’ - The Grayzone102·1 year agoAre you also going to say that any news outlet that covers the US State Department’s statements is… nonsense?

naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Facebook designates Grayzone journalist Kit Klarenberg a ‘dangerous individual’ - The Grayzone163·1 year agoAnd the US pushes the idea of 40 beheaded babies (among other things) and plays down the Palestinian genocide.
Oops.
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Israel's defence against Iran attack 'cost over $1bn'4·1 year agoThen you arm all of them
naturalgasbad@lemmy.caOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Canada's budget to increase taxes on the wealthiest, says source1·1 year agoA large part of this is also the monopolies that large companies hold on essentials: groceries, telecoms, banks, etc. These are industries where competition does not spur innovation: rather, competition only harms the consumer.
naturalgasbad@lemmy.caOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Japan vows to promote strategic, mutually beneficial ties with China93·1 year agoI guess Japan has had enough of getting embarrassed by Chinese contractors in HSR and transit projects lol
naturalgasbad@lemmy.caOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Canada's budget to increase taxes on the wealthiest, says source321·1 year agoUsually I’m supportive of tax hikes on the rich, but I think it’s important to note that the top tax bracket in Canada is $246752. Canada needs more granular tax brackets at the top end.
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight8·1 year agoIs that why it takes so many design cues from the Taycan? Makes sense actually…
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight21·1 year agoWe’re talking about the country that constitutionally protects the right to slavery, right?
We’re also talking about the same country that gives semiconductor companies billions of dollars, EV companies billions of dollars, and cuts tax breaks to pharmaceutical companies, right?
Wait… Which country are we talking about?
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•‘Something must change’: EU chamber warns of unfolding ‘train accident’ with China6·1 year agoOh no! The lack of investment in R&D from established European car companies and the lack of investment in European car startups led to European cars being uncompetitive globally?
There’s an easy answer to this: build factories for Chinese car companies in Europe. That’s not the answer that key corporate lobbyists will like, but it’s the one that solves all the problems.

naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight241·1 year agoWhy does it matter if US green manufacturing is quashed? You could’ve said the same thing for US dominance in the combustion car industry starting from Ford, for US dominance in the tech industry for decades, for US dominance in the media industry…
Why is green energy somehow different? Cheap Chinese solar panels and EVs decrease cost of living for Americans. They decrease inflation. The only con is that they prevent more jobs from being created in green manufacturing in the US… But even then, that’s only because the US doesn’t let Chinese companies in.
Are you that much of a corporate apologist that you would rather people starve in the name of corporate profits than buy Chinese goods?
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight24·1 year agoHave you sat in a Chinese EV? They put US and European one to shame.
Chinese solar panels used to not be great, but today they’re easily competitive with the best that US and European vendors have to offer but at a fraction of the cost.
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight11·1 year agoIt’s actually absurd how the Xiaomi SU7 can sell for the same price as a decent Camry.
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Will China flood globe with EVs, green tech? What's behind latest US-China trade fight28·1 year agoIt helps wage the war against climate change, cost of living, and inflation. Simultaneously. How spectacular.
naturalgasbad@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Trust Index 2023 to 2024: Developing Countries Lead on Trust202·1 year agoIdk about you but as a Canadian in the US I feel like it’s dangerous to speak out against the US-backed genocide in Gaza.
GOP Presidential Candidates Threaten to Revoke Visas From Pro-Palestine Students
In a two-party system when one party will seek to deport me for speaking out, it’s not exactly the bastion of free speech you make it out to be.

Holy shit what if Nigeria leapfrogs the massive fossil fuel-driven industrial revolution and jumps straight into an electrified future?

naturalgasbad@lemmy.caOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Huawei to Pay Out USD10.7 Billion Annul Dividend for 202316·1 year agoSplit evenly, this would be more than 70,000 USD per employee. Of course, the ownership structure isn’t entirely flat, but (for example) the founder and CEO only has a 0.7% share.
Are you also going to say that any news outlet that covers the US State Department’s statements is… nonsense?
