Iversen discusses how China is maintaining the Chinese economy for the benefit of the Chinese rather than allowing all of its assets to be up for sale to the highest bidder from anywhere like the U.S. has done.
LEONARDO FLORES—The Biden campaign held an online event on Wednesday, July 8 pitched as the former Vice President’s “vision for Venezuela and Venezuelans in the U.S.” Spoiler alert: his vision for Venezuela barely differs from President Trump. This event, which didn’t merit an appearance from Biden himself, was aimed at getting Venezuelan-Americans to volunteer for “Uncle Joe”, as Representative Darren Soto (D-Fl) called him. It was an hour and a half of shilling for votes and influence, and it demonstrated that when it comes to Venezuela, policies of regime change, sanctions and a refusal to engage in dialogue unite VenezolanosConBiden (the group hosting the event) with MAGAzuela (the term for Trump-supporting Venezuelans).
ARNOLD AUGUST—The “lesser evil” narrative is overbearingly and pervasively poisonous in U.S. politics. It inevitably leads to a vicious and continuous ideological war, not restricted to presidential election cycles. Freeman continues:
“Black people in the U.S. must once and for all reject the false notion of a lesser evil between the candidates of those two parties. Both of them embrace and sustain genocidal policies against people of African descent domestically and internationally. Unlike Trump, the record of anti-Black policies that Joe Biden [as a Senator in Congress since 1972] has supported goes back to 1975: as a racist supporter of segregation and in 1994 co-authoring a ‘crime’ bill’ that helped to proliferate the mass incarceration of Black and Brown people.
GLEN FORD—Trump’s overtly racist politics, (as in “oppression of an internal ‘Other’ as an organizing principle”) makes him incompatible with the managerial “diversity” doctrine adopted of necessity by multinational corporations. He is, therefore, disruptive of capitalist rule in the 21st century – but extremely useful as a foil, which is why he was the corporate Democrats’ preferred opponent in 2016 and 2020.
Today, it is most economically feasible to obtain bulk hydrogen from natural gas. It will cost around $2 per kilo. The development of wind and solar “themes”, even in the most optimistic case, will not lower the price below $3. at the same time, the optimists of the idea proceed from the possibility of bringing the cost to $1. Let’s say they can make a fairy tale come true, then what?
There is a long and repeatedly proven coefficient of conversion of hydrogen to British thermal units through the heat of combustion. Based on it, it turns out that $1 per kilogram of hydrogen corresponds to the price of $7.4 per million British thermal units (BTU). It is from this moment that there is an association with the famous saying “the devil is in the details”.
