It's finally official: Nvidia will not buy ARM from Softbank due to regulatory problems, which means China. Instead ARM will go IPO.

Once the shares are public, Nvidia can set up shell companies, and gain control by buying up shares on the open market. Owners of 5% or more of publicly traded companies have to disclose their ownership stake. So the shell corps buy 4% each. Then they start nominating themselves for board seats.

What's a "top -down elite mandate"? They drive around in BMW convertibles while they're mandating? Tossing masks and vaccines to the peasants?
I dunno, but...

Native American statue's placement in Atlanta reconsidered (msn.com)




The Chief Tomochichi statue was conceived as the centerpiece of a park celebrating civil rights-era heroes. Its placement is being reconsidered, however, now that city council members have a fuller understanding of historical facts about the Muscogee man who signed a 1733 treaty launching the Georgia colony, Councilman Michael Julian Bond told The Associated Press.

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation, whose 93,000 citizens are descended from Georgia's original inhabitants, wasn't consulted before the $300,000 statue was unveiled pending a move to Atlanta's new Peace Park. Tribal historians were dismayed, calling it inappropriate and disrespectful.

“I don’t believe the city wants to be in a position where we are offending the Muscogee people, but we don’t own the statue now," Bond said Thursday. "We have not accepted the statue, which is being donated to us, as yet.”

The council's 2020 ordinance approving the park empowered an oversight committee to review every proposed element for historical “accuracy and authenticity,” but Bond said the city’s law department discovered last week, after inquiries from the AP, that its members never officially met in this capacity.

A review of scholarly works on the Muskogean-speaking Creek Indians would reveal that Chief Tomochichi had been banished by his people, lacked authority to give away land, and was known for delivering Native American enemies into human bondage. Tomochichi's promise to capture runaway African slaves and trade them to the British alive or dead is immortalized in Article Six of Georgia's founding treaty.

I thought of putting this in the Cheese thread, but here seems more appropriate

Show me a government that doesn't dicker with and support its own agricultural industry.

Capitalism may be Manon for much of the world, but every country strives to be self-reliant when it comes to basic food stuffs and much money is spent ensuring food security. Food shortages make governments fall. The money flows, for good or ill. That the money flows to powerful agribusiness interests is, well, "Duh".

Also, dairy farming isn't something that people can walk away from for a weeks vacation or even a 2 day business trip. There are no slack times.
