Ethanol

The problem is cities just won't let developers to build multi unit homes in mass. If developers could buy blocks of older single family homes that are in the inner city, bulldoze them, and build fourplex homes in their place we could add a thousand new homes where there where only a few hundred homes before. A city could have a plan that could be done where the home owner of a inner city house could be offered a below market interest loan to have their home demolished and to have a fourplex built on their land where they live in one of the four units and rent out the other three. The city could also have part of that offer is that the city rents the other three units guaranteeing yearly rent and all maintenance and repairs and the city finds the tenets out of the people who need section 8 housing. A long time ago section 8 housing offered to pay for all damages that a section 8 housing tenet would cause. But then they stopped that and told the home owners that they are on their own to collect damages from people who have no money to pay for the damaged the tenet caused. Many home owners just out right refused to rent to section 8 housing tenets after that for good reason. My father was one of the people who stopped renting to section 8 housing tenets because of that change.

10:10 i think that lady tried the magical Zelensky powder

Destructions.... Chinas atittude to our nenvironment....very stupid regime...communist greediness...

I don't blame the boomers for keeping their houses. A lot of boomers have adult kids who still have to live with them because things are unaffordable and a lot are raising their grandkids because of things like the opioid crisis. Even if they aren't in those situations they might like to have guest rooms for their family to visit from out of town and have somewhere to sleep.

Government scam…..

Try using crude oil for gasoline and stop using corn for ethanol.

Do you know that Moutai is made from the fermentation of sorghum ? Do you know that all sorghum scan accumulate cyanogenic glycosides and have the potential to poison the animals in the farm ? If sorghum can poison animals, it can also poison humans ! What is the safe level of cyanide that a human can be exposed ? Can you really trust the quality control of the Chinese Moutai production ?

I had no idea it was so valuable. Growing up I would see the adults drink this at every dinner gathering. It smelled really strong but good. The taste I have no idea haha.

Well even if lego is and was and will be a premium product it is of remarkable quality still have early 90's and late 80's lego from my early childhood that fits perfectly new lego and is in very good shape. Its durable as almost nothing these days. Its fun, creative and very easy to play with. It seems that it mostly fits kids that are growin up (young ones) for fantasy play, and then adults for complex building (and not rly playing with it). They do seem to have a gap in late teenagers (as well they have other things in head ;) ). In very late 90's and early 2000's Lego didnt had any major known theme of their own. As in 80's and 90's you had Castle, City, Future/M-tron/Blacktron/Iceplane, Pirates, Technik. If you actually look at the sets from late 80's/early-mid 90's many of the bigger sets were so well desinged they are to these days considered classic or as a point of comparision. Just Compare Pirate ships or Space sets to the early 2000's - they dropped off. Another thing is from what i've noticed later in 90's decade the market shifted. In 80-90's you had medieval movies, pirate movies, random space movies from Hollywood. But in late 90's and 2000's Some major theme's/fandoms crystalized. Combined with what i feel slight drop in quality of design of sents and Lego lacking any major franchise/system like they call it. They couldnt compete in marketing share/name. They rly made a smart moow and went in to join Star Wars/Pirates of Carribean, Batman etc. and then tried to make again their own brand (Lego movie and tried to return with pirates - but man that 2010 line was bad designed AF). This rly helped. Kids or adults who liked star wars were introduced to Lego, and at the same time Lego could introduce more of their own sets. With the number of sets released yearly now i do find it hard to find such quality like in the more rare released late 80's and early 90's big sets, like Pirates, M-tron, Blacktron, Castle's, Even Techink truck with helicopter (as City wise lego sets are now better) as the franchise sets are limited by design or even $ (since lego has to pay up). But last decade rly made Lego go back to its core disgn and again it seems to pay off. What makes me happy as a fan.

Russia will abandon Belgorod just like they abandoned St. Petersburg ( Leningrad) in WWII.

Sei formidabile!❤️

How can west deal with China's rapid advancement in almost every front? By tariffs, by sanctions, by political coup (lol), by war, or by corporation? China is not going to stop advancing...

The solution environmentalist offer is don't farm because it will use water and then you wont be able to farm. I say obviously don't waste water and farm given the very best water using practices. If the water is going to run dry it might as well happen instead of telling farmers they can't farm to keep water in the ground.

This is so not true 😤

Moutai is like the birkins of the handbag market. WSJ did not mention the resale values of these bottles, the secondary market, etc, which is arguably one of the most important aspects that make Moutai interesting. Because they control the supply, it is hard to get these bottles from the company directly at retail prices and generally people buy from resellers which charge a premium. The prices you pay for one bottle are generally at least double the retail price. It has a stable and ever growing secondary market prices. You buy a box of Moutai and give it to someone, he/she can sell it for the same prices, if not more, in 1, 2, 10 years. It is a commodity, a store of currency, you name it. Kind like gold for the Chinese. Chinese people don't talk about important business on the dinner table if there is no Moutai on the table, quite literally. SO it is not "firewater" more like "goldwater" if you understand the culture. Moutai is a symbol of status and respect for your guests. Imagine the demand by imagining how many important business dinners happening every day in China. It is hardly a bottle of alcohol. It is a ticket that sells for at least double its retail prices if you want to play the game. It is possibly one of the most well known brand in world if you take Chinese population into account. I do not know one single Chinese person that does not know what Moutai is. Why would anyone in his/her 20s buy Moutai branded and flavored latte or icecream and show it on social media? Would you buy Dom Periognon flaovred latte? Would everyone on social media buy Opus One flavored icecream and post about it? Maybe people who appreciate Dom and Opus would. But the whole generation of young Chinese would know and try Moutai flavored products. Let that sink in. The attention the brand commands in all generations of the Chinese society is simply unprecedented. Also, it does not taste like ethanol. It is actually quite smooth. WSJ's description "ethanol" is misleading for people who have not had experiences with Chinese liquor. Moutai is strong and smooth. There are vodkas/wines/tequila that taste like alcohol and ones that taste smooth. Expensive wine bottles, thousands of dollars per bottle. Now why do people pay for those for the same percentage of alcohol? Yea. it is smoother, but is the smoothness worth $1000? I find it funny how people talk the taste/packaging of Moutai and find it not worth the money. Is it about the taste or the packaging tho? Buy i do agree that the bottle looks cheap if you do not know what Moutai is. lol. But if you know you know.

Thai Union is a monster corporation that owns more seafood brands than anyone wants to admit. They laugh at any attempts to conserve the world's remaining fisheries.

I've never seen these bottles in my country.

No more fear

Farmers that are boomers. Talk about a heady concoction of crippling selfishness and foolishness.

Fortress mi gullo!

I recall Mr Dimon asking for money in 2008,....just like everybody else did!!

I am disappointed with this video. WSJ used to produce high quality videos but this one messed up the currency .... it is thousands of chinese yuan not dollars / per bottle.... 0:05

because its only about 20% of the boomers who have half the US wealth.

People always praising these so called farmers that poison us and steal our water. Grow your own. Independence day is, everyday.

Land of the Greed 🇺🇸

hehehe, its so funny to see this. I tell u the truth, this is not a liquor, actually this is the financial products and bribery products in china

I found it irritating younger boomers were thrown into the same group as the older ones by the news media. We didn’t have the same experiences, nor did we live through the same things…and they went from being hippies to being New Agers selling out to capitalism. Just looking at my sister, I could see that whole generation was a letdown as examples and torchbearers for the younger ones…then they have the gut to criticize those ten years younger than them for “being complacent”…just like they’re criticizing millennials now. Such arrogance these older boomers have.

How many here are guessing correctly that that man had a Covid vaccine?

Bushles per acre? In what time ate you living...

Meet the standard your local theatre can never meet

Enhancing infiltration, surface storage and surficial soil water holding capacity need to enter the discussion as positives.

yes moutai jiu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the next 20 years, boomers will pass away and Gen Alpha will have affordable housing

There would be NO Water shortage if we started Desalinating Sea Water. The "experts" say that the technology doesn't exist, yet amazingly the so-called "Hillbillies" of Apalachia have mastered the simple technique of distillation to yield literally millions of gallons of high quality, and very potent liquor. Furthermore, the nation of Israel gets 80% of its drinking water from 4 desalination plants on the coast. Yet, the "experts" say the the same thing is technologically impossible here in America. It's all about Power, folks !!! The people who have the water have Social & Political Control over those who don't !!! 😮

so, china bad, india good? right guys?

oy vey..

From the bottle, I assumed that this was something to pour into my car. I'm still not convinced that it isn't.

This makes no economic sense for China, which badly needs markets for its manufacturing. A prosperous India could provide this. China’s North needs the energy and fresh water resources in Manchuria and Eastern Siberian regions which were stolen by Russian Czars 1650 - 1860. That’s where China needs to go.

This is so stupid, so much power wasted for so little convenience. This is peak consumerism creating something that literally consumes the world for very little benefit (only to the rich individual). The connector argument is stupid, just design the hardware so that the connector is easily replaced and that's it. We didn't starte removing the brake pads in car just because they age and need to be replaced at some point...

As a Chinese I can tell ya, this ‘moutai’ liquor is commonly used as gifts for the social status it carries. The actual taste doesn’t matter much and most people who have it would rather display the bottle on their wine rack than drink it. Genius marketing from the brand though.

Hmmm maybe it’s because we don’t collect taxes from billionaires and corporations, and don’t jail them for tax evasion scemes.
