They wanted to do an IPO: http://www.investopedia.com/klarna-is-moving-toward-big-ipo-what-you-need-to-know-8748846
but they’ve been experiencing losses like this and have put the IPO on hold. With the losses getting worse, I have a feeling they won’t IPO anytime in the near future. Also, people failing to repay laxer loans like klarna means bad things for the market at large.
I didn’t want borderlands even when it was cheaper.
According to this…: http://www.chunkerowaterplant.com/news/water-desalination-cost-per-gallon The cost of desalination per gallon of seawater is “approximately $0.005 to $0.01”
I would assume people would figure it’s cheaper to pay that cost than to fight wars over it. Most of the planet is covered in water. Like with food, these resource shortages are largely political. The hardest part is removing these power hungry parasites from power. Immense suffering is endured all because of these few billionaire pieces of radioactive shit.
The DNC made him their king in 2020 in order to prevent a Bernie presidency. In return, biden refused to step down until it was too late in 2024, fucking up the whole primary process. To this day, biden thinks “I’m the guy who can defeat trump” when he was carried and dressed up entirely by the DNC, big media, and trump’s shitty handling of covid. He’s an absolute asshole whose entire political career has only made the country worse overall. A sprinkling of good things like a tiny bit of student loan forgiveness (loans that exist because of the work he put in decades ago forcing student loans to persist through bankruptcy) does not absolve this asshole of the massive amounts of damage he’s done.
Sending billions in weapons to an ethnostate actively committing genocide is bad, yes.
A worse person doesn’t make a bad person good.
You must’ve been asleep for biden’s entire career, including as recently as over the last year where he sent billions in weapons to an ethnostate actively committing genocide. Glad you’re well rested.
Billionaire Howard Schultz, Starbucks’s former CEO, insisted that Starbucks would not enter a price war in China. He claimed “as chinese customers become more knowledgeable about coffee, they will want to upgrade from lower-end or discounted products”
They got more knowledgeable about coffee which is precisely why they’re choosing places other than starbucks.
Why? He helped him get into office.
I wonder how the reaction here would be if trump had this happen to him instead. Fuck being polite about awful people.
You know what’s really classless? Biden sending billions in weapons to a country committing genocide. Also the crime bill. Don’t forget about making student loan non-dischargable through bankruptcy, creating the student loan crisis. We have Biden to thank for all these “classy” acts, plus him being so starved for power that he dropped out too late and gave an advantage to the trump campaign.
Sending billions in weapons to an ethnostate committing genocide counts as fascist. There was no voting against fascism in the last election.
Stress or excitement from the endless possibilities?
I looked up their mod history and saw “Anti-Yanks ban evasion” What does that even mean?
You can tell that AI is a great technology by how much it’s being forced into as many places as possible by the ones trying to sell it.
I agree that fascists will try to force through what they can, but there is a wide range on the political spectrum outside of fascism, and they wouldn’t force through fake news laws like fascists, but they will take advantage of legal tools provided to them. A domestic mass surveillance program, the likes of which a fascist would want, was instituted by Bush and then continued and expanded by Obama. The justification was to combat terrorism, which would seem like a worthwhile goal, but I’d argue the negatives far outweigh any supposed positives.
Additionally, having these tools laying around only makes the job of fascists easier. Fascists still have to work within the legal framework set up before them, at least initially. Sure, they can try to ignore and force through measures, but the courts have legal backing to challenge them. A blanket misinformation law would make it so much easier for fascists to label something as misinformation and the courts can’t do anything about it.
In this case, it’s specifically about outlawing Holocaust denial, so I can’t imagine it being abused, but at the same time, I can’t imagine it doing much to stop fascism. It’s such a highly specific law, it even causes some to think “why only outlaw Holocaust denial and not the denial of other atrocities?” and that’s where the opportunity for a more general law comes in, which increases the potential for abuse.
A person who does something wrong can still be right about other things. Tipping is an idiotic system.
With sodium ion batteries becoming practical, I heard that this could actually become a side business for desalination plants to supply battery makers, but I don’t know how viable it is. Regardless, managing brine is still far less of an issue than fighting war over lack of water.
