Quello che avrebbe posto fine a tutte le guerre appena eletto.π€¦ββοΈ
Un passo indietro nel tempo che sembra una prova di forza del presidente a pochi giorni dalla maxi-parata militare della Cina: il cambio di nome appare infatti motivato dalla voglia del tycoon di mostrare i muscoli agli avversari confermando e rafforzando, nelle sue intenzioni, il dominio militare americano.
come diceva il vecchio Henry Ford senior: "Giovanotto: se Γ¨ costretto in continuazione a mostrare quel che vale, ebbene vuol dire che sono convinti che Lei non valga nulla!"
βEarly cookbooks were fit for kings,β writes Henry Notaker at The Atlantic. βThe oldest published recipe collectionsβ in the 15th and 16th centuries in Western Europe βemanated from the palaces of monarchs, princes, and grand seΓ±ores.
I dont know what to say. Hyundai is building a 15 billion dollar battery plant in Georgia.
ICE just raided the plants and arrested over 400 people, including executives from LG, who not only make more than half of the TV screens in the US, but automotive batteries.
This is an ongoing racist crisis, and news reports will be covering this for weeks, but at least 30 Koreans were seized.
(Korea is a democracy who had a President try a coup. He was impeached. He refused to leave. Koreans occupied the streets and the country shut down. President taken from offices, arrested, new President elected.
Just saying, this ICE action is even more embarrassing than it looks, and wow, this is crazy with added LSD)
in other countries like UK, if a medium/large business is one that is likely to have many immigrant workers, the HR department has to check the staff's documents and notify the immigration authority, so it would be very difficult for a business of that size to amass sufficient undocumented workers to warrant a heavy raid. But that does of course require investing in a reasonably well resourced public sector, which USA govt seems loath to do..
That happens in the US too. That's not the issue. Except for maybe the fact that in the USA we hold poor people accountable but not corporations, so only arrest the immigrants and not the executives.
Everyone knows that medium/large companies (especially in more dangerous/harsher conditions, like meat plants) hire undocumented workers en masse and purposefully cover it up, because they know they can get away with treating the workers worse since they are not protected by labour laws.
We don't (didn't) do mass sweeps because of how many essential workers are undocumented, it would cause massive disruptions in our food supply. We have had the capability, especially given the funding the US dedicates towards information gathering and "security".
But we know how much harm it would do to remove over 10 million workers, so we haven't. And then businesses have enjoyed having workers that are unprotected by labour laws, so we haven't legalized them either.
Letting businesses accrue large numbers of undocumented workers has not been due to lack of governmental funding or capability, and the raids now are about racism and attacking political opponents.

What's going on with Youtubers? The end of the world appears to be near at all corners at mo.. In terms of eschatology, and even if Philippulus would most likely disagree, the universe will probably end one day, but it is so slow, so uneventful to watch, that it won't most probably be on streaming for "seasEon" 2. NB: even tiny LLM models say that it is unethical to focusing purely on fear-inducing scenarios.
Dopo due giorni mi sto ancora chiedendo cosa voglia dire. Che dobbiamo restare umili e non braggare dei nostri successi? Di non esagerare con le supercazzole per quei progettini "meh"?
In realtΓ voleva dire che lo sforzo che mettiamo nell'exploitare le metriche perfette lo potremmo impiegare meglio facendo realmente il business. PerΓ² mi Γ¨ parsa peculiare la scelta dei termini.
