It became known that Apple intends to spend more than € 1 billion to create a new European Chip Development Center in Munich, Germany. On the territory of 30 thousand square meters, a division of the American company will be located, which will focus on the development of technologies and products for Apple products and integration of them with 5G networks. Money will be spent over the next three years.

Munich is already the largest Apple engineering center in Europe. About 4,000 employees and 1,500 engineers are working here to develop new chips for various Apple devices. In addition, Apple's Bavarian center is developing chips for the iPhone, iPad, iMac and Apple Watch.

Rumors inside company are that Germany is used because some of main LSI features are not fully compatible with... US laws. By making parts of design outside US allow top management to around some limitations (like secretly tracking US citizens and leaking their information) and openly tell that they do not know and have no idea.

5G parts will be also very important as specialized cores and firmware are always top secret and fully encrypted and by keeping it out of direct US reach Apple gains some leverage. As Us authorities will be forced to request information instead of using holes that are known to them without informing people responsible for such things in Apple.

The growth target of "over 6%" is not only a quantitative goal, but also means the optimization of the economic structure and the transformation of the development model. The report on the work of the government this year also noted that "the energy intensity of China's GDP will decline by about 3%." In addition, a requirement has been put forward to work towards peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality; an action plan is also required to reach a peak in carbon emissions by 2030. All this will contribute to the further development of new energy sources in China, and also make the background of economic development "clean".

China also intends to put forward a number of practical measures, from "deeply promoting reform in various areas and stimulating the viability of market actors" to "implementing high-quality economic development based on innovative development, developing new impulses." The PRC should gradually promote scientific and technological independence, give impetus to innovative forces, so that they, in turn, stimulate high-quality economic development.

The “over 6%” growth target also includes people's aspirations for a great life and also reflects a human-centered development mindset. Growth of "over 6%" reveals an increase in people's livelihoods and will also benefit thousands of families.

“Large commercial banks have increased their lending to micro-enterprises by over 30%,” while continuing to support small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, “the living conditions of people are improving and the income of residents continues to increase through various channels. “Financial subsidies per capita for basic health insurance and basic public health services will be increased by RMB 30 and RMB 5, respectively,” to continue to improve people's lives and well-being.

We see all signs of full stop of fast China growth, no more cheap energy, lack of other resources.

Huge injections that are more than US Fed craze, same goes with support of small and extremely inefficient enterprises, as elites hope that they know some small sources of energy and resources and could use them.

According to VW the plan is to start production on this car in 2026, as part of a vehicle lineup with fewer variants and where everything is standardized.

What that means is that instead of building multiple versions of the same car with varying capabilities, they'll build one version with everything included, but only unlockable "on demand" — and likely for a fee.

All authors of such ideas must spend 20-30 years in Siberia, at least. To think about their sinful life and doings.

As the US crosses the threshold of half a million deaths from the Covid pandemic, the nation’s billionaires continue to reap extraordinary financial gains. After 11 months of pandemic misery, where millions have lost their jobs, health and wealth, total US billionaire wealth increased $1.3 trillion since mid-March, 2020, an increase of 44 percent.

The country’s 664 billionaires now have combined wealth of $4.3 trillion, up from just under $3 trillion on March 18, 2020. These findings based on Forbes data compiled in this report by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).

March 18 is used as the unofficial beginning of the crisis because by then most federal and state economic restrictions responding to the virus were in place. March 18 was also the date that Forbes picked to measure billionaire wealth for the 2020 edition of its annual billionaires report, which provided a baseline that ATF and IPS compare periodically with real-time data from the Forbes website. PolitiFact has favorably reviewed this methodology.

The billionaires’ $1.3 trillion pandemic wealth gain alone could pay for over two-thirds of President Biden’s proposed $1.9 trillion COVID rescue package, which Congressional Republicans have attacked as too costly. At $4.2 trillion, the total wealth of America’s 664 billionaires is also more than two-thirds higher than the $2.4 trillion in total wealth held by the bottom half of the population, 165 million Americans.

The $1.3 trillion wealth gain by U.S. billionaires since March 2020 could pay for a stimulus check of more than $3,900 for every one of the roughly 331 million people in the United States. A family of four would receive over $15,000.

All of this guys have no place in modern society, none.
