Wondering if y’all are still looking for mods?

I posted in another comment my history of activity here (on my programming.dev account)

Anyone who’s actually ridden inside a BYD car would understand why. The cars are extremely well-designed for their price.

Instead of fixing the root causes of gang violence, Sweden is about to turn itself into a militarized surveillance state.

Wonderful.

Looks like Russia gets to experience what the US has been experiencing for decades lol

This bodes well for the renewable energy transition around the world and it’s also a strong reminder that the companies manufacturing renewable energy technologies are putting them where are most profitable, rather than remaining within their borders.

Is McDonald’s cheap anywhere other than the US? In the US, there’s a bunch of promotions that drive costs way down…

Japanese unions (according to the article) sound like they’re extremely weak and allow scabs. Sounds like a scab issue to me.

It’s a geopolitical statement. The US always needs an enemy to justify their egregiously high military budget, but, well, the USSR collapsed and the War on Terror is basically over.

Now, the US drops military bases in Southeast Asia like they’re candy and acts like that’s totally not a provocative measure (unlike, say, putting a Soviet military base in Cuba).

Even today, India is slowly shifting away from being America’s media darling because of their policy of self-interest… soon, they’ll be lumped in with China as being one of those “bad” countries that are “America’s enemy.”

Maybe the UK should join the US in importing all their pharmaceuticals from China: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-10/fda-allows-more-cancer-drug-imports-from-china-amid-shortage

This is the actual solution, and I’m not sure why I’m getting so many downvotes from it. Clearly, purely capitalist markets aren’t enough to sustain a decent pharmaceuticals industry.
