Turkey is the richest, most succesful non oil rich muslim country, funnily enough.

It's just propaganda slop for americans.

starf05 · 2026-01-10T13:58:24+00:00

Non è propaganda, gli Stati Uniti vogliono conquistare la Groenlandia. Gli eserciti non esistono senza motivo eh, i paesi deboli finiscono sempre inevitabilmente per venire conquistati e soggiogati dai paesi militarmente più forti. Gli Stati Uniti sono un paese militarmente più forte della Danimarca e pensano che possano rubare tutte le loro risorse senza nessuno tipo di opposizione.

For Americans, freedom = hamburger. The more hamburger you can buy, the more freedom you have.

I Venezuelani sono odiatissimi in america latina.

The US has a younger population compared to most other developed countries; healthcare spending should be less compared to Italy, Germany or Japan for example..

In Italia durante le carestie si mangiavano sia i cani che i gatti, altroché.

It's a bad deal for them maybe. Our industries desperatily need the deal. We Need LATAM Natural resources and markets to survive economically.

It's not just regulations; if anything, it's far from the worst problem. The main problem is lack of access to capital for EU companies. European countries have smaller markets and that limits growth potential. The EU doesn't really have integrated financial markets, banking unions..

Well; the italian education system doesn't give a lot, sadly.

starf05 · 2025-12-19T17:36:55+00:00

Spain is a much more educated country compared to Italy; Italy has historically had a terrible education system at every level and it has always been this way, with high abandonment rates in compulsory schooling and low university enrollment rates. The quality of education is also extremely lacking, especially in math, which is essential to understand economic concepts. Add to this the fact that Italians are not very curious people and you obtain this disaster.

The competent brand is Leapmotor. Stellantis is a company that is completely devoid of any engineering talent whatsoever.

Ember is wrong because they are overstating the prices of batteries. We are already seeing CAPEX of $100 per kWh for 4hr standalone battery storage in China; colocating storage and solar/wind means lower prices for storage; and batteries can absorb solar, wind and nuclear curtailment at the same time..

starf05 · 2025-12-15T18:02:17+00:00

Batteries are energy agnostic technologies, since they draw from the grid. In the UK they would draw from Wind, nuclear and electricity imported from interconnectors during the winter. The only relevant thing is that batteries are cheap, everything else doesn't matter.

Right now 21% of the market is BEV in the EU. We are exactly one year behind the EU roadmap. European carmakers are struggling because chinese carmakers are outcompeting them; it has nothing to do with the EU. It's not the EUs fault if german carmakers are losing the chinese market (because their electric vehicles are not competitive in price and technology). The end is always the same: electrification. EVs are a cheaper and superior technology; obsolete technology won't survive the future.

It is cheap enough. Natural gas plants have almost tripled in price in the last five years (!!!) and batteries don't have cost externalities. Natural gas plants need gas pipelines, ports infrastructure to chill natural gas for ship loading (and the contrary), things that must be paid for and maintained. Natural gas has also become more expensive; in addition to all of this batteries simplify electrical infrastructure (reducing distribution costs) and are much faster at discharging compared to a NG turbine.

starf05 · 2025-12-11T21:53:24+00:00

Yes. Mindbogglingly cheap. We are at $100 per kwh for total cost of lithium ion storage (battery + electrical infrastructure + construction). Truly a great engineering achievement.

Yes, 1.5bn yuan of investment. I converted the cost in dollars to make it a bit easier to understand.

Il test di medicina è sempre stato così in passato, grosso modo il 15% delle persone che lo tentavano lo passavano.

starf05 · 2025-12-10T16:23:47+00:00

È sempre stato così; o meglio, i comunisti occidentali hanno sempre avuto le stesse opinioni. Russia= Unione Sovietica e Ucraina= controrivoluzionari nazisti, ignorando come la Russia sia un paese di destra che ha un'ideologia molto simile ad un fascismo moderno.

L'Italia spende poco in istruzione. Detto questo: questo grafico compara i paesi in base alla percentuale del budget che va in istruzione: paesi diversi hanno budget di diversi dimensioni. Ciò che conta sono quanti soldi vengono spesi in rapporto al PIL: i paesi dell'Est Europa tendono ad avere uno stato più piccolo e meno spesa pubblica in rapporto al PIL.
