  1. Israel and the US say no to the Pan arab plan to rebuild gaza. I read it and it is well designed. I thought this is what would happen. Damn I was wrong. The US and Israel have rejected an Arab plan for the post-war reconstruction of the Gaza Strip that would allow the 2.1 million Palestinians living there to stay in place. The proposal, endorsed by Arab leaders at a summit in Cairo, is their alternative to President Donald Trump's idea for the US to take over Gaza and permanently resettle its population. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas welcomed the Arab plan, which calls for Gaza to be governed temporarily by a committee of independent experts and for international peacekeepers to be deployed there. But both the White House and Israeli foreign ministry said it failed to address realities in Gaza and stood by Trump's vision. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7vd4pnxx3o
  2. There ain't one! But we had a global talking thread that got buried in Bolivia I think.
  3. Gracias. I did not realize it had gone up. Think about that for your local hospital. To lose 1/5 of the work force.
  4. I know it was about 400K last time I looked. FEMA is already fucked. But really we only expect them to come in and they cut checks, so AI can do it. No fraud for you Sir. Damn 169 year old lawyers... Fleecing the system.
  5. Olds can be sexy. I mean Sean Connery and all that.
  6. 1. Nope. Extract first. 2- Enforcement and culture. Yes, the bigs have rules. The littles don't. So Rio Tinto? Yeah, no hookers. They are in the next town over for your 2 days off every 14. Eastern Europe was not known for its environmental controls. I do not expect this to be done at US or EU standards. Won't be on a China level, but lots of desperate people looking to make a buck working for large corporations who are kicking it in Gstaad, Dubai and New York. Also, what was mining/steel like before 2014 in this area? So at best we will get that. 3- Yes, it is massive. And zero development outside worker sites really. That is why there is a pretty mean insurgency there. 4- Already has buyers interested. Problem is number of ships available to transport it. Happy to discuss in the Mozambique thread.
  7. Nah, that is where we grow shitty mcmansions. Once done with that no one has any damn water for no trees. Except crap cedar. Plenty of room for that.
  8. What about maple trees? Alaska? Reforest with them? Make America Maple again?
  9. Nah, he ain't. He just looks like one.
  10. I am telling you. The USAID programs were not cut since they don't like what they do. Well maybe. They were cut because every RFP had a DEI clause. So when they searched using AI for DEI everything came up. Like managing the port at CC and the aid shipment component. Yep, had the DEI clause. Also had a branding and marking clause. Also had a corruption clause. An anti-boycott of Israel clause. Rapid disbursement of emergency equipment to Latin America, run out of Miami. Yep, had all those clauses.
  11. And the first emails and learned the best way to download porn.
  12. yep, same here. We went and drove a few models. The one she wants. Yep, made in Hermosillo. That's near Detroit right? Or is that the plant in Georgia?
  13. AJ article on states. Map is pretty cool. Shows what % each state exports and imports. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/5/which-us-states-could-be-hit-hardest-by-trumps-canada-and-mexico-tariffs
  14. Mocímboa da Praia is a port town in Mozambique that's a key link for the Mozambique LNG project. The project is a multibillion-dollar liquefied natural gas (LNG) development on the Afungi Peninsula in Cabo Delgado. Project overview The project involves developing offshore gas fields and constructing a liquefaction plant The project has over 65 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves The project is expected to produce 43 million tons of LNG per year The project is a collaboration between TotalEnergies, Mitsui, ENH, PTT, ONGC, Bharat Petroleum, and Oil India Kind of a big project. Ukraine will be like it. For US would be the ag programs in S Afghanistan.
  15. Nope. EOD goes in first while initial camp is being built. Lots of ground work to do before the equipment comes in. And yes, there will be infrastructure will be maintenance of said equipment. Security, EOD, Survey/Launch, Life Support and then the work force starts to trickle in. Just look at how they did the LNG plant in Mozambique as a model.
  16. Yes. They will. They will build camps, dining facilities, fix a regional airport, etc. Only business that will take off are B&B's. Bars and Brothels.
  17. They will drop in labor camps and clean as they go. Going to be some big EOD contracts for sure, but even that is hit and miss. You do not completely clean an area. Nope. Shit remains and gets missed. Rubble? What do you do with it? Mount Trump? Schools? Homes? Nope. Don't move the worker's families, just the workers. All the rest comes later. Only infrastructure to be fixed is what they need to get started.
  18. They will keep pushing the south american growers.
  19. They will let just anyone play with AI. Lord help us.
