I donât know how these discussions go at the European level, but at the scale of France I can totally imagine the following discussion occurring many times between members of the government:
A- We need to reduce our dependence on cheap Russian fossil fuels now. If we keep increasing our dependence on cheap Russian fossil fuels, it might give Russia too much power and create war problems in ten or twenty years. We need to act now to prevent that.
B- But if we decrease our dependence on these fuels, then the cost of heating is going to increase immediately for all French citizens next winter.
A- Yes. But it will avoid a war later on.
B- So youâre saying that I have to choose between a war in twenty years, or an angry electorate right now?
A- Yes. Surely we want peace. Itâs an easy choice. We donât want war.
B- What happens in twenty years will be for the next government to worry about. We live in the present, not in the future.
Some 10 days ago China eased its covid policy, probably in response to widespread protests against its long lasting zero-covid policy.
But it seems they are now facing a new crisis because the government didnât use the time during the zero-covid policy to prepare for this easing of restrictions, for example by promoting vaccines and boosters to the elderly, who still have a low vaccination rate.
âI was hoping for a fun game but here we go, classic sansan invasion at move 5, letâs replay the same boring 50-moves fuseki that Iâve played a million times already.â
I understand getting duped by a celebrity, but AT LEAST make the scam be relative to the celebrityâs expertise. If Go professional promoted a Go product that was fraudulent, at least that makes sense that youâd believe a professional Go player on Go matters.
But if Cho Chikun promotes a stock or an NFT, that has nothing to do with his professional status, so it is just like taking advice from a random person and investing your money according to what your grocer said or your baker. As you said, really amazing.
Did it ever go live though? I found a similar article from 2021 that claimed that it was still âsoonTMâ ⊠on the one hand it is much better to NOT launch a platform if you know it is not working, on the other hand it makes you wonder what kind of funds were wasted during 3 years of development.
I donât honestly know, I just remember it being posted here a while ago and shaking my head at it. I treid to google it and guess what⊠he released an NFT lol.
The eight releases of documents from Twitter show that they did a lot more than that. They became a virtual subsidiary of the FBI. There is a word for that.
