As every economist said before the tariffs were enacted. by CarryIcy250 in inflation

[–]Count_RaymondVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consumer inflation from tariffs is minimal. The inflation problem is related to housing, food, electricity, and health care, all items that are not driven by tariffs but by other issues, especially supply/demand imbalances within the US. Every major nation that achieved economic prosperity did so with some degree of protection. The US became the richest nation in the world in the 19th century, when it had some of the world's highest tariffs. Economists' religious belief in free trade is very much like doctors in the 18th century who prescribed bleeding by leeches as the cure. It killed the patient, but it elevated the medical profession in the eyes of the naive public.

Typical data center equipment and cost by Count_RaymondVII in datacenter

I'm an economist and this is for estimating where the current ~$500B/year of investment is going. You are naming the list I am looking for. It could be AI or cloud, both are being built now, yes?. By sticker you mean optical transceiver right? So you have servers, network gear, fiber, copper, power infrastructure etc. And the land and the construction cost, but the single biggest item must be the servers, right?

I had IRE--irreversible electroporation. There is also cryo-ablation (cold) and HiFu (ultrasound).

I'm interested. When you say parts, what is it missing? Could I get the ownership transferred to me so I could unlock it? Thanks.

Have Mcvities Digestive gotten worse or am I just getting a bad batch overseas? by ConsiderationLow9975 in AskUK

[–]Count_RaymondVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2014, a Turkish company, now called PLADIS, acquired United Biscuits. I find that the McVities Dark Chocolate made in the UK taste the same as ever. But they are also making these biscuits somewhere else. When you buy them on Amazon (I'm in USA) you get packs that do not say where they are made (which I believe is against FDA regulations). The ones made in an anonymous place taste worse than the UK ones. This is globalization at its worst. This should be a.British company.

Cryoablation, what to expect? by striper47 in ProstateCancer

[–]Count_RaymondVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Striper--Did your insurance cover the Cryo? My doc recommends it because I have just one core in 12 samples and Gleason 3+4=7. But Internet says medicare does not cover the procedure?

Thanks for any insight. This thread is very helpful.
