The UN is advocating for a GDP alternative – can social science provide one?

What…?
It doesn’t require the consent of English speaking countries. Come up with an alternative formula that is reasonable and more informative; people will start using it more over time. It isn’t a light switch, and it doesn’t need to be, either.

This is literally a fork of Zed that was made after Zed started to lean into AI bullshit. The first thing Gram did was rip out the (then fairly nascent) AI crap.

It’s more than that. There are a LOT of components in there that aren’t made in Russia, and cannot be made in Russia because they don’t have the ability and infrastructure to manufacture them. Things like high precision bearings, and many of the control systems, amongst others. This isn’t just “the refineries are out”. This is also “the refineries cannot be repaired to full capacity, let alone in a reasonable amount of time”.

The new power broker: How Zohran Mamdani muscled NYC’s Democratic establishment
The wins signify how New York politics and the Democratic Party have a new power broker. Hakeem Jeffries, the Brooklyn-based House Democratic leader, is losing two incumbent members and facing an ascendant band of agitators. And the people long in charge in Democratic politics, including the ones who for decades thought of themselves as the insurgents, aren’t happy about it.
They say they feel betrayed, left with a mayor they cannot trust. Around the city council, people who considered themselves his allies are sharing a line, according to one member who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity: Mamdani is only interested in allyship on his terms. Council members are talking about ways to give Mamdani his comeuppance, whether holding up funding for parts of his agenda or smaller ways of needling him.
Hey maybe the fucking establishment should have done literally fucking anything instead of just maintaining the status quo and having the backbone of a goddamn sea cucumber.

So like… genuine question: what do you propose they do? Operate at a loss indefinitely? Go into an industry they have zero experience and domain knowledge in and just “build a factory”? And industry, I should add, that is probably the single most complicated and technically - as well as capex - intensive industry that humans have thus far derived? What’s the play here? Drive themselves to bankruptcy out of altruism?
