Super startup Northvolt, the West's last hope for "Showing the Chinese How to Make Batteries", succumbed to bankruptcy.

The documents say that as of Thursday morning, the company has $ 30 million in accounts and in cash, which, literally, "will not be enough for operational activities for the next week." And yes, they invested 15 billion dollars there. Among investors: Volkswagen, Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, plus government subsidies from Germany and Canada.

They screwed up everything - overestimated their abilities and potential, believed the unrealistic promises "we are about to develop technologies and tear everyone up" (see "fake it until you make it" ), the management was slow and rigid, and the graft, apparently was off the charts.

They had so many hopes. "Yes, the Swedes! Let them crush the Chinese! Yes, Swedes are the real technological giant! Yes, investments! Yes, Scandinavian quality! Yes, the Chinese are doomed!"
Yeah, that's right...

The question "What happened to the Elon Musk's fairy-tale factory, which was positioned to produce 40% of the world's batteries?" has not been asked for a while. Now the time has come to say good-bye to the 'Nordic volt" as well.

There’s growing evidence that the election was stolen.

Me: Duh

Of course it was stolen. You have over 350% turnout from the last election?

Wouldn’t that large of a turnout have a ripple effect in the community?

e.g. More traffic through the area. More home purchases or rentals. More people at the local grocery stores and restaurants? More traffic at gas stations?

I would put those voting statistics up against everyday life in the district. If there’s little population activity increase from the last election cycle…surely SOMETHING doesn’t add up.

Today we have ZioNazism. The difference, however, is that Nazism was opposed by governments of most countries, whereas opposition to ZioNazism is punished by many (western) governments.

And a vast majority of governments in the world continue to have a cordial business and diplomatic relationship with the ZioNazi country, even while genocide continues for many yesrd in broad daylight.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
