from a surface level personal research the money is not eaten by farmers, that in reality make a pittance but from a "rice consurtium", a middlemen that should represent farmer interest but in reality is basically a monopolistic corporation.

all benefitted, dem aligned media benefitted even more in crusading against Trump as it brought headlines and attention to opinion pieces. Ironically this reinforced Trump and allowed him to present himself as a victim of a witch hunt

TLDR: some scammers impersonating the difense minister got 1 or more entrepeneurs to send them big payments quickly. The public discourse is around the "normalcy" of private entrepeneurs about sending money to elected officials

the last time debt was this high was WW2, after it millions of working age men came back contributing to the economy. today the opposite is true, millions of people are exiting the workforce to retire, draining resources like Social Security. It's not sustainable, but US can tap into immigration policy to kick the ball down the road for decades

Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia and many other countries turned sour on importing chinese EVs in favour of some kind of protectionism. Most developing countries dont have the infrastucture for EVs. Europe hit BYD with a 17 % tariff (10% being the standard)

I would love Google developing an Android desktop enviroment meant to be used as an OS alternative to Windows and MacOS. Probably they can have a native compatibility with Linux software, and maybe bring some good UI, UX. Midrange Phone hardware can handle your average productivity needs.

Desktop Mode in Android 15 looks like a move into a desktop set up.

Republicans repells educated, single, liberal women for the same reasons Democrats struggle with straight, masculine, traditional males. They demonize and act often hostile to such demographics. Both believe others "wrong" behaviours should be corrected.

Democrats appealed historically to men as the working class party, image that kamala couldnt sell.
