The yen rebounded against the dollar on Ishiba’s victory after falling on news he would face the run-off against Takaichi, a monetary dove and fiscal expansionist.
A monetary hawk, or hawk for short, is someone who advocates keeping inflation low as the top priority in monetary policy. In contrast, a monetary dove is someone who emphasizes other issues, especially low unemployment, over low inflation.
Not sure if they got the better deal here.
I think the jury is still out on this one but there’s definitely been some of it as opposed to zero. There’s still a disturbingly high number of billionaires which makes me feel they either don’t cut down enough or when they do, it’s for show.
It’s kinda inevitable isn’t it. If you put more people to study, do R&D, engineering, provide the necessary resources for them to do those things, the more hours worked should produce results faster. You limit the health and safety guardrails a bit and things get even faster. Skip having to do the earlier development by getting foreign capitalists to build factories on your soil and share their IP, and things get even faster.
Yes I would have also enjoyed if they arrested a western CEO instead of these patsies. The show would have been quite something. 😂
Goddamn! I just read the article. This hullabaloo really looked like naked hostage diplomacy at the time as the allegations sounded too convenient to be true. Actually both could be true - China could have known about these two and not cared till they had use for them. Still our (Canadian) authorities really made it sound the allegations were bullshit.
Wasn’t that part of the point of Brexit?
Has it turned out he was a spy?
For some time now it’s become logical that the way to maintain sanity among Israelis would be to maintain a comfortable fiction instead of facing reality. It follows that anyone attempting to poke holes in the fiction would be ostracised in order to maintain it. The alternative would be too painful. It would mean they have unequivocally failed to refrain from doing to others what was done unto them. Of course not everyone is in with the program so there would likely be a growing rift between those that want to keep living in the fantasy and those that don’t.
I guess somewhat unsurprisingly a rift might open up between Israeli Arabs and Jews:
Israeli Arabs are much more likely than Jews to say the country’s military response has gone too far (74% vs. 4%).

Then Qualcomm would become a national security asset. 😂 In fact that alone sounds like a great reason for acquisition. It’s not every day that you get a obvious way to become too big/important to fail.
Qualcomm is also American.
Whether Intel sells or not is decided by its major shareholders, pending regulatory approval, not Intel’s execs or employees. Those shareholders would likely receive shares of Qualcomm which would now include Intel’s expected future profits, or cash that they can use to buy Qualcomm shares to capture those profits.
You already trust these people today. They run/own many large corporations today which dramatically affect our lives in multitude of ways. Except today we can’t get remove them from these positions of power under the current system.
It’s thanks to this in part that your aunt keeps indulging her imaginary pain when she thinks about your lifestyle.
No no no
That’s one way to avoid the front line.
It would be pretty sweet if Harris wins and doesn’t replace her.
Or that businesses that employ people in the classic employer-employee way are effectively price-fixing the labor market. The larger they are, the stronger the effect.
You’re observing a snapshot period and confusing it for the whole.
So is this helping or hurting Harris?
And they managed to do that with those lazy US workers? Wow.
E: folks, pls look up TSMC bosses’ statements on American workers’ ethic
Which is why the guy tha lost might have been a better option.
