Would it? It would be interesting to learn about yet more corruption? More no-show non-profit jobs for politician's children? More "family foundation" contributions?

The only interesting thing here is the mysterious way this can happen despite the lack of whatever "Democrats" "proposed legislation" you have in mind. Also, why you seem to have a need to attribute this to someone other than the people that deserve the credit.

Here tell around Slashdot et al. China is the greenyest of the green goodie greenies building out more solar than everybody everywhere put together times x10!!1 Why would they need or want nuclear power? Why did China commission >30 GW of new coal power and start building out >94 GW of coal power in 2024?

Solar solves all of that. It's cheaper. There is no point to any of these legacy technologies when you can just solar.

I'm told.

That's a deeply offensive question and you need to reconsider asking such misguided things.

Germany and it's green kudos are not to be question by plebs like you. Stop it now.

Need an union!

Unions are a symptom of high demand for labor. This story is about an oversupply of increasingly obsolescent labor.

But the midwit brain doesn't get that: it was taught that unions "made the middle class herp derp" and believes unions are a magic fix-all for the ills of the world.

Fine platitudes you have there. If only they were relevant to something in the story.

The "impossible levels" you see here aren't because of some unfortunate government policy, or some budget you imagine has been cut, or any other of the usual, simple minded, kneejerk explanations. The "Top College" tuition costs are a function of status. Class, in other words. The ruling class has, for whatever reason you care to attribute, rightly or wrongly, decided that a US "Top College" degree is the end all and be all of membership among them. And when I say ruling class, I mean the rulers of this entire planet: the cost of that membership is a function of the demand created by the 8,200,000,000 people on Earth.

Not surprising that it's high.

Further, solving it with more income redistribution isn't a.) feasible or b.) particularly useful. There are much, much cheaper ways to fill heads with knowledge than feeding them into the ruling class madrassas of the top tier US university system.

Google and others already turn off io_uring. io_uring is not available to apps in android, it's off entirely in ChromeOS and off on Google's own servers. Docker blocks io_uring calls by containers (by default) as well.

The US and it's allies (of which there will always be many, regardless) was large enough back when 80% of Chinese were living in huts and farming rice, and it's much larger now.

Europe is incapable of independently approaching parity with even Chinese semi fab, never mind Taiwan or the US. Europe is far too balkanized to permit the degree of capital agility needed to build out a competitive fabrication industry. If all the money they claim they're going to throw at chips and AI actually materializes — which it won't — it will ground out in the pockets of bureaucrats, politicos, lawyers and con men.

It's too late for Europe. The only choice Europe has now is which side it will be on: the US and it's allies or the Sinosphere. At best Europe might play one off the other, while any youth in Europe with the least bit of talent continues draining away.

Do hold your breath waiting for it though.

Nice Parade of horribles you have there. Very pro-American Hegemony.

I'm attempting to be concerned about the loss of US influence over foreign auto makers:

Please wait...

Please wait...

Concern Fault! I am unable to register concern over this matter. No concern detected.

Allow me to pose a question: First, I will concede your premise that the US is going be less influential in the world as a direct result of Trump and his trade war and other isolationist and hostile policies. Isn't this what you want? Isn't the the US the source of essentially every evil you've ever imagined on this Earth? US culture corrupting everything, US consumerism draining everything and wrecking the environment? US capitalism corrupting everything? US military power ruining all those wonderful brown people and their innocent nations? If all you're predictions come true, and the US ends up as an isolated pariah state because Trump, doesn't that solve essentially every problem you've ever attributed to the US?

The first paragraph of the summary of this story is all about the stonk prices of a couple US mega-corps. Since when has the fate of ultrawealthy big tech been your deeply held concern? Another way to look at it: name me one establishment grandee that you've supported that has ever done as much to disrupt and unsettle the megacorps of our world.

Without an interest in Chinese markets, the Chinese won't have influence over these US companies. Correct?

A few days ago, the Chinese decided to restrict US film releases in China. That too, appears to be a great outcome: China will cease to be relevant to the shot callers of US movie production. Outstanding.

I'm trying to understand how any of this is a problem. The only actual problem I'm aware of is that TDS sufferers will need to employ yet more cognitive dissonance while trying to square the fact that Trump isn't actually beholden to big tech billionaires, which is a big piece of their prevailing narrative. But then I remember; that's not a problem either.

So, Hollywood et. al no longer has any reason to continue worrying about the CCP and its preferred narratives. Great.

"Law makers" don't have to worry about fuckerberg's commitment to any one thing or another. All "law makers" need to do is undo the damage they caused with Section 230 carve-outs for big tech, and YouFaceTubeBookTickGramAppTwitX and all the rest can then adapt to the consequences of what they are: private media companies, 100% responsible for 100% of the content they publish. The sick regime of corporate commons created by 230 is the problem, and the solution is entirely straightforward: kill it.

When everyone is at fault, no one is at fault. That's why we design systems to dilute responsibility as perfectly as possible.

I'd tell you your definition of both "equally" and "wrong" are highly selective and likely formed from your extreme naivety and chronic malcontent.

Recovery your own raw material and make your own batteries. If that means you have to compromise a bunch of environmental nest feathering you'd prefer to keep, well then, maybe you can learn from that and evaluate the supposed environment saving properties of EVs properly.
