This was the real contradiction of faith for me as a pre-teen. I was raised Christian, and I kept wondering how bored I would get in heaven if I was really going to be there for eternity. In my mind it was a big amusement park, and eventually I would get bored with all the rides and such.
That’d be a good bit to do at McD’s in Taiwan.
Stephen Stanley, chief US economist at Santander Bank, said that any impact was likely to be small. “The biggest deflationary force in goods prices here of late has been used vehicles, which has nothing to do with China,” he said.
BYD, China’s biggest carmaker, recently announced price cuts of between 5 and 15 per cent for its electric vehicles in Germany, after Mercedes-Benz warned late last year that its profits were being hit by a “brutal” price war in electric vehicles.
Citigroup analysts said this month that falling prices in China could help to hasten moves by central banks in emerging markets to cut interest rates this year, particularly in countries that consume relatively large shares of Chinese goods.
“We as investors are only just starting to connect the dots” on how falling prices imported from China might play out across markets, said Luis Costa, global head of emerging markets sovereign debt strategy at Citigroup. “The question is the magnitude.”

Oct 7th and Mass Hannibal effort post: https://hexbear.net/post/1609134
On Oct 7th numerous instances of ‘Hannibal Directive’ have been made evident. The most extensive casualties are due to 28 attack helicopters (“Apache”) emptying their full complement of weapons (“shoot everything”) and re-arming through the course of the morning hours of that day. Other known incidents have been reported of tanks firing on homes known to have hostages inside under orders from command. There are also reports of drone operators firing at vehicles and other targets that likely had hostages contained within. This list of links focuses mostly on the evidence of the helicopter attacks.
What is the Hannibal Directive?
"the name of a controversial procedure that was used by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) until 2016 to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers by enemy forces. According to one version, it says that "the kidnapping must be stopped by all means, even at the price of striking and harming our own forces."[2] It was introduced in 1986, after a number of abductions of IDF soldiers in Lebanon and subsequent controversial prisoner exchanges. The full text of the directive was never published, and until 2003, Israeli military censorship forbade any discussion of the subject in the press."
TL;DR: A policy of killing hostages instead of allowing them to be taken alive.

How Israeli forces trapped and killed ravers at the Nova Festival
New evidence points to Israeli security forces, not Hamas, for causing the most fatalities at the music festival - civilian deaths that were then utilized to justify Tel Aviv’s Gaza genocide.

Israeli rave survivors return to look for cars after Oct. 7 Hamas attack
Hundreds of scorched and destroyed cars have been moved from the Nova music festival after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Almost a month later, some survivors return to look for their vehicles to reflect and make sense of what happened.
This shows the scale of the helicopter attacks, as HAMAS had no capabilities to do this type of damage.
