                                  they seem to be going for ~AUD$200 each at the moment (😱 thanks “AI” companies, I hate it 😩) but I’m not looking to squeeze every dollar out so if you need them pls DM me an offer 🙃

The maximalist outcome from Monday, sources suggested, could be a call from a simple majority of member states to demand a legal proposal on ending illegal settlement trade.

Alberto Alemanno, a law professor at the HEC Paris business school, said: “Each month of delay doesn’t just postpone compliance, it deepens the EU’s own legal liability for sustaining trade with an unlawful occupation.”

One senior EU diplomat said it had been “a tough battle” to get the options paper, adding that there had not been “joyful cooperation” from the commission, which is responsible for drafting EU laws.

Claudio Francavilla, an associate director at Human Rights Watch, said: “It is astonishing a ban is still presented as an ‘option’, when it’s the only measure that complies with international law.”

Microsoft generates the majority of its through cloud . In other words, it makes use of free software—specifically, from the open-source community project—without contributing to or supporting it in a meaningful way. On the contrary, Microsoft has been fighting the spread of Linux on the with from the very beginning. However, the company has learned how to profitably market free software. Unfortunately, this is a sign that die-hard capitalists are incapable of learning. Their greed for profit blinds them to the common good. Since Windows now accounts for only about 5% of Microsoft’s business model, it is used solely to keep customers within the Microsoft ecosystem and sell them cloud services. Meanwhile, Windows 11 is getting worse and worse, partly due to the use of AI.

What is changing now is that support is becoming more concrete. A new wave of incentives shows Hanoi trying to reduce friction for domestic firms while turning private enterprise into a more active instrument of growth, innovation, and industrial upgrading.

This even as the US literally has the most arable land in the world, more than enough to grow food for everyone here and export a bunch after. Which is what we used to do (see this post for instance). This report on agriculture industry monopolization titled “Kings Over the Necessaries of Life”: Monopolization and the Elimination of Competition in America’s Agriculture System is damning.

                                                                                                                                                                                      I don't believe the administration is being sincere when it decries international trade imbalances. There are some simple, obvious actions it could be taking right at home that would be wildly popular yet do not seem to merit mention.

See, for instance, this paper Estimating digital product trade through corporate revenue data. The US's main conventional export is currently petroleum, but it exports over twice as much in digital advertising. The US's overall "digital exports" are larger than the total exports of France, which is the world's 7th leading exporter. However, these numbers are not typically included in reports about trade deficits or surpluses.
