Fiscal deficits are not completely discretionary, there are automatic stablizers and balances of private and foreign sectors. And no, she doesnt have to raise taxes or cut spending, she can let the deficit be wherever it is.

cotton picking is already mechanized

U.S. cotton is mechanically harvested using specialized equipment. Seed cotton—fluffy white fiber that includes seeds—is harvested from the field and pressed into round bales or large modules for transport to a gin. During the ginning process, cotton fibers are separated from the seeds, cleaned of foreign material, and pressed into bales of lint. In the United States, a small sample of cotton lint is collected and sent to a USDA classing office where it is graded, thereby providing the quality characteristics on which the cotton is marketed. After ginning, the cotton bales are ready for shipment—usually to a storage warehouse where bales are consolidated before being sent to a mill for further processing into textile and apparel products.

The use of mechanical harvesting rose significantly during the 1950’s, involving nearly half of the U.S. crop by 1960. Virtually all of the U.S. crop was mechanically harvested by 1970. Mechanization of other field operations progressed rapidly in response to increased labor costs, labor shortages, and the need to perform more timely operations on larger acreages. Chemical weed control, which became common in the 1950’s, has largely replaced hand hoeing, reducing labor requirements for this operation.

They can choose to take a hit to their profit margins by adjusting prices. They can only do that so much before margins are wiped out completely. This time tariffs are much broader and higher.

Why? In some cases they may make up for it with higher volume (but that too depends on demand). This applies to exporters, wholesalers and retailers. Or they may not be find any place else to export to (or sell locally).

I read a paper on this recently but can’t find it :(, apparently with steel (during Trump-I) the exporters were more willing to do it but it’s not the case with every good.

if you want iptorrents invite message me, it may have what you are looking for.

Why is private sector doing nuclear energy? It’ll take large amounts of subsidies anyway since the private sector doesn’t do anything if they don’t forsee profits. Might as well have it in the public sector which doesn’t have to worry about monetary profits.

I don’t think much is happening in UK with regards to anything productive like wind or nuclear so long as the Government doesn’t do stuff. Starmer is servile to finance capital interests. He is more interested in seeing the line go up.

Yep. The bump has always been large but I meant the arrangement itself.

New battery tech with that 6000mah.

I agree with the comments though, camera does look ugly.

DeepSeek did everything right, it will not be possible to ban when anyone can run distilled versions on their own mid-high end consumer hardware and even full version.

The only way to access OpenAI o1 is through their API.

A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings

The Federal Government spends $100b less, but now the workers will have $100b less to spend on goods and services. It’s not a “saving”. Hopefully not many take the bait.

All full-time federal employees are eligible, except for members of the military, employees of the U.S. Postal Service, positions related to immigration enforcement and national security and other jobs excluded by agencies.

Of course.

hostingby.design and seedhost.eu have it, more expensive though

1. Yes its just a remote server that you can torrent on

2. Yes you get SFTP and shell (non-root/root depending on which provider) access

3. Yes, you can with Deluge, rTorrent etc which run on seedboxes

4. Depends on the provider, some seedbox providers don’t support public trackers (or cap upload speeds)

5. Depends on the provider, major ones like seedhost or ultraseedbox don’t. And yes they can see what you transfer, it’s a shared linux server.

6. No, you need root access to run torrents over a VPN, not available on shared seedboxes but you can do it on dedicated servers/seedboxes.

7. I’ve tried seedhost, ultraseedbox, whatbox.ca, hostingby.design. all pretty good.

India assassinated someone in Canada, is India going to occupy Canada soon? UK and Russia are both nuclear states btw.

U.K. is subservient to U.S., has been since WW2, and likely will be as long as the U.S. exists . The article specifically mentions Russia but only links to another article saying Trump ‘wants’ Greenland. Mentioning Russia and China is a great way to ignore the real puppeteer.

UK and Ukraine does sound the same, yeah.

I don’t care about ‘threats’ from Russia or China, nothing more than new Red Scare propaganda. So, that point can be thrown in the trash rubbish bin.

Joining the customs union would boost trade by eliminating most taxes on imports and exports with EU member states. It would place Britain behind a European tariff wall with the rest of the world. It would help to align rules which, as Sir Ed pointed out, mean that a UK air cargo company currently has to service its planes in the US rather than in Europe. And it would reduce some of the red tape created by Britain’s own post-Brexit regulations.

What will EU even import from the UK? Does it even want British goods? Is there even enough demand backed by purchasing power in the EU countries given their own economic stagnation? Relying on exports as a source of demand is a terrible idea, especially when the Government isn’t willing to step in if and when there are any shocks.

The economic reasons are more valid, I think more open trade between EU and UK would be good. But it’s not going to fix U.K’s problems in any way, that requires Government to do stuff and increase spending, which it isn’t going to do.

It’s better to jail them, what’s the point of having money in bank accounts if you can’t access it?

relying on capitalist ‘animal spirits’ has always worked everywhere surely. you can offer them free money, zero taxes they won’t invest unless they see profits.

This means that they most likely went for lighter AI models that use fewer resources, so that they run smoothly without putting too much strain on the machine.

Pretty good. Captions are one of the legitimate uses of “AI”.
