Because it will now be available to them... you seem to be under the impression that the SA gov will have 100% control of everything as if illegal material does not constantly find its way into black markets

The Saudi gov was already a "willing and committed US vassal" when 9/11 took place and that obviously didn't stop it from happening

Saudi Arabia nationals were responsible for 9/11

So naturally the USA went off and attacked Iraq and Afghanistan in revenge

What could go wrong?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

no, you are just an idiot who refuses to see reality

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

yes but the harm is already done… you are likely fine with that because it doesn't affect you directly and the whole American FuCk YoU gOt MiNe

Brought to you by the most mediocre government in recent history...

Turned out those eLIteS with education had some value after all

That's just it... honestly, the likely best strategy at the moment, is to simply delay and stretch time until the November midterms in the USA.

IF those turn out to take the power out of the Republitards, Canada can negotiate with the Democrats which, as bad as they also are, at least don't have dementia embedded in their every move

At the end of the day though, Canada just needs to keep moving away from the USA as hard as possible since the USA is indeed circling the drain as it is

First season was so boring, I haven't bothered pirating the rest

How is this a captialism problem? Food gets thrown away because it’s expired. Selling expired food carries legal risk because people might get sick from eating it.

Food is overproduced, knowing full well it will be wasted, because marketing shows people rather see full shelves. Nobody buys "the last watermelon" as they assume it must be the worst of the bunch. On the flip side, food is thrown away instead of donated because markets fear they will lose a bit of revenue from people who rather wait and eat food that is close to expiry because money is tight... so they rather throw away and bleach perfectly edible food lest they miss out on any revenue

How does solve this problem? Are expiration dates less strict? Are people less able to hold entities responsible for selling unsafe food?

There should be a heavy tax on wasted food. That would incentivize supermarkets to not fill the shelves solely for marketing, discount food that will go to waste soon or even give it away rather than throw it in the garbage

The problem is complex under capitalism but this would at least put incentives in the right place

Like, I’m certain whichever store had to trash entire pallets of bologna food doesn’t want this to happen again. They’ll reduce their order next time🤷‍♂️

Only if they think the reduction will not lead to any loss of revenue... they are not concerned about the wasted food, they just want the bottom line to go up forever

Idk what im missing, assuming this post was in good faith

Check this very old TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/tristram_stuart_the_global_food_waste_scandal ... TLDR: we produce about twice a much food as THE WORLD needs to feed everyone and chose to throw away about 50% of it because the incentive is to make a profit, not feed people

 

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe

 

"Unexpectedly"... who would have thought that taking a chainsaw to all establish trade could be an issue?!
