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.

I remember saying some weeks back that this is how they keep the actual death count numbers from getting out. They make families sign NDAs to keep them from talking or they won’t get survivors benefits. And now he’s doing it publicly. The man is ABSOLUTE scum!

Dnipro, 18 August, morning

Big changes here in Dnipro. Businesses closing down faster than I have ever seen. Protests now in most major cities, being reported as pro federov but this isn't true, they are people and businesses protesting about economic conditions, lack of labour, an inability to get products imported without paying huge bribes and many companies just closing as they can see the writing on the wall as winter approaches. People are scrambling now, food stocks and other supermarket goods are starting to run low in some stores, and constant attacks against Nova Poshta are devastating e-commerce.

For the first time today I saw humanitarian trucks giving out food and clothing in Dnipro. They won't start distributing till 10, but already a crowd of people. Unthinkable even 6 months ago.

Fuel strikes are causing supply issues outside the main city areas, and people are planning to leave. I know of one group of 40 or so men who crossed the Tysa River into Romania last week, am told more ...

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.
