Trump to steal 50M barrels of oil from Venezuela
Intiawkiq 1/7/2026 7:42:54 AM
Trump says Venezuela to "turn over" 50M barrels of oil.
He will sell the pil and the proceeds will go to Venezuela and the U.S. How about giving some of that money to Peru and Colombia which took im millions of refugees over the last 10 years.
Venezuelan refugee situation
IntiAwkiq 1/7/2026 8:26:27 AM
Ok so the U.S has taken in an estimated 770,000 Venezuelan refugees. But Peru and Colombia have taken in 1.6M and 2,8M, respectiivley. They however are 3rd world countries. Peruvians incomes are about 8 times less than U.S.. It would be as if the U..S. wouldnof took in 12.8M total Venezuelan refugees. No other countries have donated money to take care of the costs, to infrastructure, for example. to threse countries not even the U.N.

Trumps Biggest Failures 2025
HatunRuna 12/20/2025 5:17:12 PM
He failed to sympathize with mass shooting victims
He didn’t address gun violence. And impose tougher gun laws
He wants to go after immigrants, but not the owners that hire them
He wanted to attack Venezuela drug gangs, but do nothing about drug demand in the u.s.
He supports Netenyahu even when he bombs women and children
Trump wanted the Noble Peace Prize, when he’s made threats against Canada and Greenland
Trump imposed tarrifs, and companies passed off costs onto consumers, hasn’t tried tellling companies to eat the tarrifs except Walmart.
Trump wanted to make a peace deal in Israel but left the Palestinian authority, the government of Palestine , out of it. And made a peace deal with terrorists.
Trump doesn't say anything about recent killings
HatunRuna 12/20/2025 1:26:26 AM
Trump says nothing about recent killings. There was the Bondi Beach, The killing at Brown. Then there was the killings of U.S. troops in Syria. He is launching bombings in Syria today.

Companies are passing on tariff costs onto consumers
mamaro 10/30/2025 10:42:51 AM
Companies are passing on tariff costs onto consumers. Trump isn't calling out companies doing this. Originally, Trump went after Walmart for doing this, but hasn't said a peep since. Not only that, but Trump hasn't said how much money he made on tarrifs and when he plans on giving it to the U.S.

Takaichi has visited Yasakuni shrine
Anonymous 10/8/2025 4:58:02 AM
Japan leader, Takaichi has visited Yasakuni shrine a cemetery where war criminals are buried. This shows she is proudly nationalistic. It shows that she might even be proud to have fought the U.S. This goes hand in hand with Trump's stance to use a base for housing undocumented immigrants where a Japanese concentration camp was situated during World War II.

Trump's threat to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports has driven the price of copper way up in the U.S. low everywhere else.

I don't down how I feel about the UN. On one hand it makes sense to have a political body that covers the world. But on the other. Do we all really have the same agenda. The world might be under hegemonic control of European-based/derived countries.
Cambridge Analytica, Facebook scandal
The King 5/4/2025 12:37:26 AM
The Cambridge Analytica, Facebook scandal was recently brought up at the FTC, Meta trial where Facebook brushed it aside by saying that they didn't lose a significant amount of users over it.
The scandal was over an app that collected information from Facebook users who willingly signed up for the data sharing told it was only for academic purposes. The truth is it wasn't and it harvested not only their profiles, but their friends graph and likes.
Its important to remember this event. Because it shows how Facebooks behavior borders on criminal. I understand that users signed up for iit, but not to be sold to some political campaign organization. Even if that wasn't directly Facebook's fault. They allowed app makers to get thieir Facebook graphs and likes withouth any safety measuers in place. This story is not over.

Interesting what was said about Whatsapp
The King 4/30/2025 3:30:32 PM
Meta COO said, “Out of all the potential buyers, I thought Google and Apple would be the worst ones because they already ran the operating systems of the phones,”
It sounds like the reason they bought Whatsapp wasn't so much because of Whatsapp being a threat, but because Google and Apple could become much bigger threads if THEY bought Whatsapp.

Samsung is not only not getting new HBM clients, but it is losing existing ones. Google is abandoning Samsung's HBM3E process because it doesn't conform to NVDIA's qualification tests. Google is instead partnering with Micron for its HBM. And Samsung's older HBM processes: HBM2, HBM2E are being overshadowed by Chinese companies.

Building your own laptops
mamaro 9/22/2024 9:26:31 AM
Idea. Democratize the laptop. Why can't we get laptop parts and let us build our own. I mean if the price of laptops are so low then we should be able to get the parts and build one for a decent price right. I get it, parts are tied to the manufacture. And the manufacturer has economic of scale, they probably can make them cheap because they have all the machines to build the laptop.
The yield curve is inverted which signals a recession
mamaro 9/19/2024 3:20:56 AM
The yield curve has been inverted for 2 years. An inverted yield curve means when the 2-Year Tresurie rates are higher than 10-Year Treasuries. This is because investors idemand a higher yield because they see more risk in the near future. However the labor market seems strong, so it might not matter.
