The US uses mm/dd/yy which is already stupid on its own, but Canada uses BOTH mm/dd/yy and dd/mm/yy seemingly without rhyme or reason

It seems like they’ll be selling a chassis kit for uprading from existing 13.

There’s an even wider material explanation. Israel’s territorial ambitions are only threatened by the resources coming from Iran. A moderate Iran would have sanctions lifted and would generate much more real reosiurces than today. Its economy grew 7% per year during the partial reprieve of the JCPOA. An extremist regime means more sanctions, more repression and therefore as little resources as possible spared for resisting Iarael’s territorial gains. And that’s in the in the interest of a lot of Israelis.

It’s their mistake. Proles are noticing.

Wait, didn’t those have US support at some point too?

Soubds like a structural adjustments program.

In a capitalist market economy with a small public sector, that’s definitely the expected outcome. In fact it would be worse than you describe. It’ll produce big problems with the ability of the economy to consume its production since people rely on wages to buy that production. Wages that woild go away due to automation.

In a mixed economy with a very large public sector, public co-ownership of large private firms, and 10% of the population (and growing) being members of the party that controls it all, the outcome may be different.

Goddamn, France 24 caught them this time.

Exactly. And you see those guys doing something competent like building rail, or stockpiling oil for crises and you’re like - fuck why can’t my gov’t have this basic competence. Why the fuck am I waiting for a basic surface light rail line in Toronto, not a subway, for 18 years… (I know why, it’s a rhetorical question.)

It’s shocking that the market doesn’t factor in Israel breaking the ceasefire and Iran blocking the flow again.

The world - for sure, but these are numbers for Americans.

This graph shows something interesting. The numbers held steady for a long time. Then the opinion started rapidly shifting during Trump’s first presidency as they ramped up anti-CHAYNA! propaganda. That continied under Biden and the opinion trend followed. But look what happens after 2023. Despite the anti-China propaganda taps being fully open, the opinion trend goes positive. To me this means the propaganda is stopping to work for increasing number of people.

Anecdotally I see this with people I talk to in RL (in Canada). People who used to be on the China-bad (like myself) train have gotten off it and see their previous opinions as shaped by propaganda. Far from universal but things are shifting.

They know there’s no chance Israel’s gonna abide by that ceasefire.
