“About 70% of commodities grown in Brazil go to China. This allows the Chinese to coerce farmers there to buy equipment and products from Chinese vendors, Grobmyer added.”

What?

Hacking is a crime that ignores borders, I didn’t expect that America would arrest anyone for the crime of hacking it’s enemies like China.

They want it to be part of America on the map to feed Trump’s ego. The minerals there aren’t really worth extracting.

There were reports America was gonna offer everyone $10,000 for Greenland.

America has the money to easily offer every citizen of Greenland $5,000,000. If it were me I’d take that and move to Norway or something. But of course they weren’t prepared to offer more than chump change to the few thousand people there so they went straight to espionage.

Like, Trump could easily make a pretty good deal from America’s perspective. There’s basically nobody there. But he’s choosing coercion.

Well, anything but American, Russian, or Israeli.

China I’m still undecided on, though it’s nearly impossible to avoid. The reason isn’t so much war crimes as just becoming a bit uncomfortably powerful and who knows whether that’s a good or bad thing.

Well, Uganda’s not a death sentence. Unlike El Salvador or South Sudan.

This seems self-destructive. America is gonna really struggle without semiconductors for the next 10 years.

Really high latency in Australia, the genre search is a bit lackluster (I have zero interest in Reggae, for example), and I can’t bookmark individual songs.

I’ll still use it, the next-least-American option is Spotify and they’re going all-in on AI. It’s just kinda a disappointment.

EDIT: There’s also Soundcloud, I forgot about that.
