No, it’s just Northern Hemisphere war this time.

I don’t see any reason the global south should get involved.

This is why we have to be super careful letting people from USA in to Australia.

We have to just assume all of them are unvaccinated and block them at points of entry unless they can provide proof otherwise.

If you’re outside USA - message your local politicians and ask for US visas to be cancelled or dependent on a full vaccination schedule they can provide receipts for.

We don’t need these American idiots ruining the rest of our herd immunity, leave them isolated to their own plaguelands.

Exactly, cops can be replaced with email now. Where is DOGE when you actually need them?

why?

retitled: The 1% of Brazil upset a Korean band didn’t stop and act as their servants for a few hours.

Sucks to be Europe right now though.

I guess UK will have some pretty huge leverage soon with Gibraltar Strait being the only way out of the Mediterranean.

“The purity checks will continue until our morale improves.”

They’re token gestures to look like they’ve done something this term other than pass liberal party tax cuts.

Remember when Albo was spruiking that he grew up in trust housing? Contrast that with the big fat load of less than nothing Labor has done on housing. Passing the buck at every opportunity, “it’s a state issue” followed by “it’s a federal issue” followed by “it’s a… errr… skills shortage!”

Vote for a real change, Vote Greens.

That will never* happen, Israel is openly hostile to the idea because there are more Palestinians than Israelis and it would throw off their elections.

* Ben Gvir would see it happen - but only after they exile/murder all the Palestinians.

Why don’t you liberalise a little bit, accept goods made to American standards, accept agricultural goods made to American standards?

Because no one wants brain worms or shitty lettuce.

Good.

Meloni is on Putin’s payroll.

Does Trump share the same singular braincell that orange cats do?

It’s not ‘Africa Small’

It’s the European nations put undue important on themselves considering their absolutely tiny size. The Northern hemisphere as a whole needs to STFU for a while.

You know what else might turn VW around?

Turbos that don’t cook themselves during regular driving. Can’t trust your electric cars either since you’re so flippant on quality for the petrol cars.

Cleaner than most other forms of energy, yes.

Hydro has huge ecological problems of its own that we just skip over since it’s carbon free* (except the concrete)

Wind is actually good, do more wind.

Solar troughs are great in hot places, PV is great in milder to cold places (PV drops off in efficiency a lot over 35c, but this can actually be mitigated by putting panels on water, which also prevents evaporation of reservoirs, win-win)

But most of the worlds energy use is in transport (well, before AI) and we’re going to need nuclear to support moving from fossil fuels to electric, though only really China got the memo. Germany is busy hamstringing itself in every way possible.

There aren’t any license fees, Sodastream is well out of protection now.

Just don’t buy sodastream brand refills.

Intel would basically be dead in the water, Fab28A makes all their 10nm/‘7nm’ tiles and Fab28 is their frontrunner 14A fab.

Intel’s Israeli fabs have historically had the best yield too.
