After watching videos on several social media platforms I think we need to require posters to say if they used any AI or altered content before posting to site. It's getting ridiculous and dangerous. Is AI really going to make our life's better not just easier.

In short, the CCP acted as the accelerant and the ultimate market maker, using its state-controlled economy to quickly bring the technology to commercial maturity and mass production, a feat that would have taken much longer in fragmented, purely market-driven economies.

The most balanced view is that the global EV industry's current scale and rapid transition rate would likely not have been possible in its current form and timeline without the strategic, massive, and sustained intervention of the Chinesr Communist Party and the Chinese government.

The PRC sends warships to surround the Senkaku Islands in Japan (which administers them) testing Japan and USA resolve in defense of Taiwan as it is likely they will attempt to take these islands along with Taiwan. China claims these islands as well.

A great book to read about Ireland and one of it's it's most famous people Patrick I just read again is called "The Real St. Patrick " by J.M. Holmes. There is little known about who we call St. Patrick but this book tells the facts we do know and how the Catholic Church raised him to a Saint.

As a world traveler I agree you need to know the important things about the culture you are visiting..at least pay attention to the locals and experienced expats. I have seen people from two countries esp. (I won't mention who) acting badly and treating locals badly while spending no money.

I'm not a Christian but a scholar of Jesus and his original followers. Two books I find very interesting are The Bain of Satan and a new book called the Separation of Church and Hate. IMO people should look at Jesus words and very likely could have studied Buddhism.

Trump is spending more time planning and investing in new ventures than running our country. There has never been anything in this scale of US Presidents in our history. What are these countries getting in exchange for these business ventures. How is Trump profiting from his tenure.

These Trump businesses and his gift of a Qutar 747-8 are a result of his presidency and wouldn't have been possible without his becoming President. Presidents should not be ethically allowed to invest in new ventures especially overseas. His Businesses should have been put in a Trust.
