I meant they are not self-sufficient in tech but they can fulfill those needs by importing from China and India.

Kinda, sorta. The chart is undoubtedly positive, but the major problem of the higher price levels is still with us and we’re not doing much in the way of solving the price/income problem.

Many effects took place. That said I think you’re wrong about the speed of the effects. There were quick and sizeable effects. However Russia simply reshuffled the economy. Russia, or any country, doesn’t need to export or import anything if they’re self sufficient. They can replace the lost income from those exports with public investment into something else. For example military production and soldiers. And that’s what they did. Now Russia isn’t self sufficient but China has filled the gap for their high tech import needs and is taking Russian fossil fuels in exchange. So is India. Given that Russia has both markets for its export and sources for its necessary imports, I don’t believe there’s any further effects from sanctions we could expect. That’s how I read the tea leaves anyway.

And why not all of Iran’s missiles were intercepted.

The agency noted that prices remain elevated — especially for rent and groceries — even as inflation has cooled off.

For the second consecutive month, food prices grew at a faster rate than headline inflation.

Now imagine someone announcing the creation of a nonprofit crown corporation to be a national grocer. Unfortunately no major party has the balls to propose that. Even Jagmeet is only tweaking antitrust law.

Handy chart:

Doesn’t Israel subsidize and support these settlements?

It does. It’s perhaps a bit less flexible but it’s largely sufficient:

I’m using Shelter and I’m planning to switch to Private Space. The one thing that’s a bit annoying at the moment is that third party launchers might not have UI integration with it. For example Lawnchair does not. So for now it might not be practical to use with those.

Yeah, it’s comparing apples to oranges to say there’s lots of apples. Sure there’s lots of apples.

Then there’s the thumbnail chart hinting something is crashing when that’s not happening. So far they’ve demonstrated significant resilience against the sanctions we’ve imposed and their economy has remained stable and returned to growth. If they don’t run out of labor and natural resources, they can keep this going for a very long time. I’m not saying this because I want them to be able to. I’m saying it because I’m disappointed at the propaganda in our politics and media that lead us to believe we can crash Russia’s economy. This created unrealistic expectations and it probably contributed to the lesser support ro weapons delivery which has led us to the status quo we face today.

I think that’s some irresponsible shit right here. Whether or not she thinks that, she has to maneuver around the bad perceptions of the current presidency at least in words. Saying what she said is a godsend to Trump’s campaign.

And its sibling Shelter. Don’t know which one is more up-to-date lately.

Indispensable.

expelled six Indian diplomats including the high commissioner on Monday, linking them to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader and alleging a broader effort to target Indian dissidents in Canada.

Wow, what’s happening at NYT? Stuff like this could ruffle some feathers.

Oooh yeah I think that’s the one.

You can’t have one set of laws for small companies and another set of laws for large companies.

This is false. We can, and we do. Antitrust laws are one example off the top of my head. There are probably others. The assumption that every actor has to pay the same price is false as well. There are countless examples for this.

School bombings don’t qualify.
