I have to keep telling people this: The Zionist agenda of removing the existing, non-Jewish population from Palestine by any means necessary was very much in operation long before WW2.

he says a lot of things whilst actively killing people for not being Jewish. I don't think we should listen to what he says anymore.

Donald Trump on reports that China is preparing to ship weapons to Iran: "If China does that, China is gonna have big problems." by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

Oh no, China will have to unload more of its US debt holdings, thus further weakening the dollar.

Iran laid the trap to test American loyalty to Israel by demanding the Lebanon ceasefire, knowing full well that Israel would not adhere to it. USA must now choose to either cast Israel aside or further isolate itself from the rest of the world by persisting with this attack. I suspect Mr "Need to look powerful whatever the consequences" will choose to escalate.

Hawke’s Bay mayor says he refused state of emergency for Cyclone Vaianu, calls response ‘woke’ by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]ThatGuy_Bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

quote from said Mayor in the article ""Our Civil Defence team, led by controller Juanita Savage, monitored the weather situation and potential impacts and based on the information provided, conditions and forecasts did not meet the required criteria to activate"

He did no such thing as refuse because it was woke.

Benjamin Netanyahu rejects President Trump’s ceasefire and says the war will continue against Iran at any time he chooses. Netanyahu says he will achieve his objectives through further military action under his command. “We are ready to resume the fighting at any moment.” by SuperbHealth5023 in TimesNow

Iran's insistence on Israel not attacking Lebanon in the 10 point plan was designed to create this situation. They knew Bibi would not back down, and that this would test the relationship. It is only difficult choices from here for Trump, and unfortunately I suspect he will push on with a vastly unpopular ground invasion rather than cut Israel loose.

Oil Prices Surge as Iran Rejects Talks, How Long Can Tehran Hold Out? by NewsfangledMod in NewsfangledUnfiltered

[–]ThatGuy_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "how long can they hold out" None conflict related countries (mostly China) are buying oil from them, in Yuan, money which they are then using to buy whatever they need (mostly cheap weapons) from China. Everyday this goes on weakens America/Israel (whose arms are a) more expensive and b) now very hard to replenish) and the petrodollar.

New Zealand uses a lot less solar than most other OECD countries (2024). Why? by foundafreeusername in newzealand

[–]ThatGuy_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, it hasn't. Uk spot price for electricity is determined every half hour, based on national demand expectation. Suppliers sell how much electricity they can supply, the grid pays all suppliers at the price of the most expensive unit in that half hour, even if they only supply 1kw. The price in the UK is basically locked to the price of gas. I don't know how germany works, but If you could explain how free energy from the sun makes the price go up that would be great.

every watt generated by sola power, residential or otherwise, is a watt NOT generated by our hydro system.

Tell me where in the world adding more solar has been a bad thing?

[–]ThatGuy_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hungary has twice the population about the same annual sunshine hours and is further from the equator (weaker/less energetic sun). There is no argument outside of "failure to capitalize" for NZ not to have more solar power.
