He was big on massive deregulation in favour of the industry oligarchs in his previous administration as well. So this one was kinda easy to predict.

Less regulations means reduced production costs for the oligarch corporate owners. So it is good for them and them only, as every single policy coming from the Trump administration.

The claw clutching a pearl is just one variant of countless others. We have furniture from ancient Egypt and Rome which has legs carved as animal feet, so it is not a tradition that stems from the British via China.

Not to mention the knowledge of bringing kids into a world where we know the future is only going to get worse.

Not going to happen. Europe is barely holding together as it is, and Russia/China are using just as much energy and resources in undermining it as they do in the US.

At best Europe can stick somewhat together enough to form a working defence and foreign policy for its own territory and near neighbours, but it is never going to be a global force.

It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).

Be honest with yourselves. The gun is unnecessary, since you people are doing it completely voluntarily.

Donald Trump has already called asbestos “100% safe”. His cultist followers will eagerly become pro-asbestos if he tells them to. And he will tell them to if someone pays him enough to tell them so.

To be fair Americans are incapable of eating any food which aren’t the texture of blended babyfood, so them being upset at a little texture in food isn’t really that surprising.

Because the pyramid scheme is still going strong with them, exactly because new victims are continually falling for them. NFTs lost their hype so quickly that the flow of new victims basically completely stopped, and so the bottom went out of them much faster.

Essentially, when you boil it down, you can turn this into “it’s provable that individual X has possession of NFT identifier x,y,z”. It’s kind of like how you can have the deed to a piece of property in your desk, but that doesn’t prevent 15 people from squatting on it.

It isn’t even that. It’s is identifying which drawer in your desk the deed is placed, but there is no guarantee that the drawer contains the deed.

The exact same thing would have happened with an NFT licensing service. They would still link to obsolete servers. The problem is not a problem which NFT would solve, the problem is the problem of obsolete servers, which are very easy for adobe to fix without any useless NFT technology, if they really wanted to (but of course they don’t)

There is nothing you mentioned which couldn’t already be done, and is in fact already being done, faster and more reliably by existing technology.

Also that was not even what NFTs was about, because you didn’t even buy the digital artwork and NFTs would never be able to include it. So it would be supremely useless for the thing you are talking about.

Those interesting topic people would have been better off in another setting.

Also Rogan is a right wing propagandist hack, nevermind his lack of comedy skills.

Except the part where the average consumer gets to pay more for everything. That still applies.

I don’t think that China need anything from the US

They do like their money. The US basically funded their industrialisation, and keeps doing so.

According to a poll for Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq, more than a third of voters said the documentary would influence their vote.

Disinformation is effective propaganda.

He will never pay them either way. A Trump never pays their bills.

At least he made all his billionaire backers a lot of extra money from all of this.

I think either Asimov or A.E. van Vogt wrote a short story with this premise already back in the late 1940s.
