"Hi TSMC. Could you build a massive pseudo village/factory where you indoctrinate the locals with your toxic work culture, sending your managers to act as overlords for our under-educated workers? We will pay you."

"You want us to basically colonize a town in Arizona?"

"Ummm... Yeah"

Realist would be WEIGHING the negatives vs the positives. What positives outweigh funding genocide in Gaza?

Another aspect is that cheaper solar panels means cheaper energy: something that Europe is having trouble with right now.

Cheaper energy means lower costs to produce stuff - Making their economy more competitive not less. E.g. Certain foods need refrigeration. Factory equipment. Server farms. Offices have lighting and aircon etc.

If Europe allows their own solar panel industry to gouge themselves, the initial investment in solar will be more of a cost and they are going to have less future growth.

US government won't build tech manufacturing facilities. It is ideological.

Private industry also doesn't want to build tech manufacturing in US - not at a level that competes with China or other places in Asia.

Passive systems like this fog collecting tower save on energy but are large for the amount of water they collect : https://youtu.be/THJVuinPbc0?si=EHnQ_XQvQFvca3VG

Those towers use plastic mesh to collect the fog.

Researchers are working on new materials to collect more water : https://youtu.be/UlTbZ658eWM?si=6Ld8xemTOnAN7L43

I think the main issue is that the theorists aren't ever the ones actually executing the organizational work needed to manage an incredibly complex economic system. Without that experience, they don't know how to analyze China's performance. They have theories that they never had to put into practice. It's very academic.

Fuck your ignorance and wikipedia. You wouldn't know shit about Tibet or give a fuck.

Bullshit white supremacists dog whistle their asshole attitudes towards colored people by characterizing the "bad" countries as dangerous uncivilized inhumane societies. They always claim it's only the government being criticized. Doesn't take much for a racist to slip up and shit on the entire population: the slightest 30 sec tiktok vid will set them off.

Whatever. Enjoy your racist tropes.

What is this lib shit? If they write unironically about organ harvesting, FLG and Tibet in the second paragraph of the intro, they're a bunch of racist white edgelords.

After you buy a train ticket, you push the train the whole way to your destination.

Exhortations to study the Quran are another: ordinary proselytizing.

Why are you opposed to studying something from the Quran ?

If the leadership of Hamas is driven by Islam, then you need to understand Islam to analyse their decisions. They are the major resistance movement in this situation.
