That works for some things but not others. Less so for durable goods and chinas ppp advantage is steadily shrinking. And while they are trying to increase their high end goods the fact that their current military has never fought a war is a big anchor on them.
It also included money for the so called Golden dome, which won’t be that great but will increase military readiness and number of missile interceptors.
There’s a caveat that money doesn’t equal effectiveness and mass hiring a bunch of randos isn’t gonna get you the best people.
I haven’t seen any evidence for this, other than these shitty youtube videos. I did do door to door polling and saw a surprisingly large amount of ambivalent and for Trump voters even among black women, usually the strongest democratic base voter.

Ultimately it comes down to cost. Labor is limited and a lot of the stuff you’re talking about are fine for small volume vegetables but you’re not gonna get feed the world wheat yields from that.

Evs will be drastically cheaper to operate so they will try to use them as much as possible. The owners will push them and the drivers will try to avoid them when they have difficulty. Amazon doesn’t like having variants, they prefer to have uniform vehicles that are identical. The point is that the people doing it don’t have any choice in selecting the right tool and the people who do only look at spreadsheets.

Actually if you shave your eyebrows you can have a negative eyebrow where it looks different because there is no tan.

They’re all working and doing something. It’s basically just instead of releasing a game 6 years ago that was barebones and okay they’re making the sequel and won’t release the final game until they’re well done.
I’m confident it will release eventually, maybe another 5-8 years. As long as the devs don’t die of old age.
MDCCCLV@lemmy.cato Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Computer drive sizes over the yearsEnglish7·8 days agoThe screw situation is finicky. It’s a weird mix between you’re supposed to have screws from your case/motherboard or sometimes the drive comes with one. But if you move stuff and drop the tiny tiny screw it’s a hassle. Every motherboard should just have the little tab you just turn to keep it in place.
Plus the newer gen fast drives get hot so they need a heatsink. The fastest maybe need heatsink plus airflow. So then you need an extra fan if you don’t have enough airflow which is easy because it’s flush against the motherboard and sometimes blocked by the GPU.

MDCCCLV@lemmy.catoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Gas-powered leaf blowers are being banned across USEnglish1·8 days agoIt comes down to what you need it to do. Leaf blowing isn’t super critical, like if you need torque to turn something it either works or doesn’t. But electric leaf blowers work fine if it’s slightly less power and you need 10% more labor to finish but it goes from 25 an hour in gas to less than a dollar per hour.
Again, this isn’t going to work for bulk grains like wheat and corn. I’ve seen plenty of permaculture type farms and they’re fine for small stuff and vegetables and more of that is good. But it’s not suitable for growing 50 million tons of wheat. Labor is already short and it will get worse.
