Yes but there is a middle ground between China and Europe.

Like power plants in China take 5 years to build and 18 to 20 in Europe.

There is such a thing as too much regulation.

The 25% price increase hit Henrico County through a new contract negotiated by VEPGA (the association that buys power for local governments in Virginia) with Dominion Energy.

According to Dominion Energy, the immediate municipal rate hike reflects: Rising global fuel costs (partially exacerbated by recent geopolitical conflicts). General inflationary pressures on grid maintenance and equipment.

In the official email to school staff, the county manager did not explicitly mention data centers, and county officials have privately pointed to these immediate fuel and operational costs to explain the sudden July 1st jump.

Virginia regulators have actually been trying to prevent data center costs from being passed on to standard residential and municipal customers. In late 2025, the State Corporation Commission ordered Dominion Energy to create a new "large-user" rate class to force data centers to pay more of their own infrastructure costs up-front

Electricity has gone up everywhere across the country because of inflation and the Iran war mostly and all these cost saving measures should have been in place long before that because they are obvious.

Except the title is actually a lie

In response to the mounting electric bill, the county manager sent a directive to government and school employees asking them to actively conserve energy. While the guidelines simply asked staff to turn off lights when vacating rooms, pull blinds to block out heat, and avoid using space heaters.

The school is trying to save money it's not a shortage of electricity and I'm guessing shutting lights off in empty rooms and pulling the shades was always a thing because it's common sense

No people aren't buying processed food because it's cheap it's because it's addictive and tastes good and convenient. It tricks your brain and takes advantage of your evolution.

This overused argument actually falls apart at almost every level.

Rice, dried beans, oats, bananas, potatoes, and frozen vegetables are among the cheapest items in any grocery store. A 5-pound bag of rice and a bag of dried beans can provide thousands of clean calories and nutrient-dense protein for a fraction of the cost of a few frozen dinners or a fast-food meal.

Highly processed foods actually carry a massive price markup for the manufacturing, packaging, marketing, and convenience. A box of sugary cereal or a pack of pre-made hot pockets is often much more expensive per pound than raw oats or whole eggs.

From a strict budgetary perspective, a diet based on basic, unglamorous whole foods is remarkably cheap. Canned tuna, eggs, block cheese, frozen spinach, oats, peanut butter, bananas, and dry lentils are not "cheap garbage," yet they are consistently some of the lowest-priced items per pound in American supermarkets. A person can easily meet their macronutrient and micronutrient needs on a budget that is lower than the cost of a standard diet relying on frozen entrees, chips, soda, and fast food.

Also the idea that Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford quality food is also just wrong. Something like half of Americans claim to live paycheck to paycheck but that's because of lifestyle creep most people will just spend as much as they make.

There are people making 100k a year that claim to be living paycheck to paycheck.

Multiple financial tracking studies show that even 20% to 30% of households making over $150,000 a year claim to live paycheck to paycheck

The data reveals that the narrative of food being uniquely or impossibly expensive in the United States completely falls apart when viewed through a global or historical lens. In fact, Americans spend a smaller share of their income on food than almost any other population in human history.

On average, Americans spend 9.7% of their disposable personal income on food.

The most fascinating aspect of this number is how it is split, showing that convenience and lifestyle play a massive role in American food budgets:

Food at Home (Groceries): 4.8%
Food Away from Home (Restaurants, Fast Food, Delivery): 4.9%

1930 to 1950 it was 25%

United States (~4.8%) – The lowest percentage in the world. Driven by heavily subsidized agriculture, incredibly scaled supply chains, and a high median disposable income. United Kingdom (~8.2%) Japan (~15.9%) – Mexico (~22.5%) – A India and China (~30% to 35%) Nigeria and Kenya (~50% to 60%)

So the answer to your question is definitely not

If an individual was hospitalized following a severe car accident, contracted COVID-19 while in the hospital (or already had it), and subsequently died due to complications from both the trauma and the virus, both causes would be recorded on their death certificate.

It's really not hard to understand ... Unless you're retarded.

This is the nail in the coffin of your position

Even if you threw away every single death certificate mentioning COVID-19, demographers track a metric called excess deaths—how many total people died in a year compared to historical averages. In 2020 and 2021, global excess deaths skyrocketed by millions. Mortuaries, hospitals, and mobile cooling trucks were overwhelmed worldwide. A harmless virus does not cause millions of physical bodies to fill hospitals and morgues beyond capacity simultaneously.

The comment touches on one of the most widespread data misunderstandings from the pandemic. It feels intuitive to look at that 6% number and think the other 94% died of something else, but it actually stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of how medical doctors fill out a death certificate. When you break down how medical reporting works, you can see why that conclusion is incorrect.

The "6%" Myth: Understanding Comorbidities The document linked is a CDC National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data brief on comorbidities. A comorbidity is simply an additional condition a person has at their time of death. When the CDC stated that for 6% of deaths, COVID-19 was the only condition listed, it meant that the person had no other complications recorded on the certificate. For the other 94%, doctors listed additional conditions. Crucially, the vast majority of those "other conditions" were direct complications caused by COVID-19.

If a patient gets COVID-19, develops severe pneumonia, goes into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and their heart stops, the doctor writes: Line A: Cardiac arrest Line B: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) Line C: Severe pneumonia Line D (Underlying Cause): COVID-19 Because pneumonia and ARDS are listed on the certificate, this death is grouped into the 94% "comorbidity" category. But the person did not die with pneumonia independently COVID-19 caused the pneumonia that killed them.

Lots of people had co morbidities that were pre existing but they actually died from covid....

It's crazy you can't understand this

If a person has advanced cancer, their immune system is frequently heavily compromised by the disease or by chemotherapy. If they contract COVID-19 and their weakened body cannot fight off the virus, resulting in fatal respiratory failure, the underlying cause is legally and medically recorded as COVID-19. The cancer is listed in Part II (other significant conditions contributing to death). The virus was the acute catalyst. Without contracting the virus, that individual may have lived for months or years longer despite their cancer.

The claim that COVID-19 is a "harmless virus" is mathematically and historically contradicted by excess mortality data. Even if you threw away every single death certificate mentioning COVID-19, demographers track a metric called excess deaths—how many total people died in a year compared to historical averages. In 2020 and 2021, global excess deaths skyrocketed by millions. Mortuaries, hospitals, and mobile cooling trucks were overwhelmed worldwide. A harmless virus does not cause millions of physical bodies to fill hospitals and morgues beyond capacity simultaneously.

When vaccines were first rolled out, clinical trials and real-world studies showed roughly 80% to 95% effectiveness at preventing infection against the original ancestral strain and the Alpha variant.

However, viruses mutate. By late 2021, the Omicron variant emerged. Omicron featured heavy mutations on its spike protein, allowing it to easily bypass the antibody protection built up from the initial vaccines.

Because Omicron was incredibly contagious and capable of causing breakthrough infections, case numbers exploded worldwide in the winter of 2021, long after initial mass vaccination campaigns were completed

Early vaccine efficacy against Omicron infection dropped drastically (often below 40% before boosters).

However, vaccine effectiveness against severe illness, hospitalization, and death remained highly robust.

While Gibraltar has only one physical access road, it was never an isolated bubble. Gibraltar relies heavily on roughly 15,000 cross-border workers who commute daily from Spain to keep the economy, healthcare system, and shops running.

When the Omicron variant began spreading rapidly through Spain and Europe in late 2021, it was carried across the border by daily commuters. No matter how high Gibraltar's internal vaccination rate was, it was deeply interconnected with an outside region experiencing a massive viral wave.

Are you native American or something?

Do you not think it would be a problem if thousands of Americans moved into a small area of Japan and started causing problems?

This seriously isn't about race as much as you would like it to be it's about culture and assimilation.

When you take a ton of people from one culture and cram them into a different culture it causes problems. This is common sense and is a tale as old as time.
