Introductory note - that both Mordor and China have very old and very strong bureaucracy institutes. Sometimes they are very inefficient, but they can make extreme pressure and reach goals if they really want to do it.

I already wrote about WeChat in China and how they and AliPay are making big infrastructure that Western companies can't get.

Also lot of Western companies do not understand Xiaomi and their huge disruption with umbrella strategy and infrastructure approach. But Xiaomi now already makes around 200x more products than Apple and most of them are of consistent good quality and designed by EU designers mostly. Each year this number rise around 1.5-2x times. Xiaomi now attack huge number of US, EU and other countries domestic brands who used to order Chinese products (of bad quality mostly) and had good margins. Note that it is Chinese bureaucracy that stands behind this and allows such big structure to thrive.

In Mordor we also have so called Gosuslugi site and infrastructure that also use umbrella approach were different branches of bureaucracy are turned into controlled system and use more or less standard protocols of informational exchange, of course they also fight back, but pressure and progress are easy to see. Usually people who move to EU or US are shocked that they live deep in 20th century style with extremely inefficient communication and heavy real mail usage.

Also in Mordor Central bank pushed free transfers system (free up around 2x average salary amount per month per account) using phone number and central database. Big banks fought hard, as transfer fees are nice and no work is required. It is also fastest system, on average transfer is completed under 5-6 seconds. But central control and transparency had been considered more important compared to few more exotic meals on banks managers table.

China registered a total of 9.66 million motor vehicles in the first quarter of this year, a new all-time high, the Ministry of Public Security said Tuesday.

There were 378 million motor vehicles in China as of March 2021, including 287 million vehicles, according to the ministry.

The number of drivers has reached 463 million, of which 425 million are car drivers, the ministry added.

Use of oil and coal jumped significantly compared to 2020.

The European Environment Bureau (EEB) said: "Power doesn't always equal performance, though the misconception has become widespread. Some efficient models maintained high standards of dust pick-up while using significantly less energy - due to design innovation."

Well, yes, but it is not the case in 95% of all real vacuum cleaners.

Real innovations are very rare and usual improvement is in the range of 1-4%.

The EU's own website says: "With more efficient vacuum cleaners, Europe as a whole can save up to 20 TWh of electricity per year by 2020. "This is equivalent to the annual household electricity consumption of Belgium. "It also means over 6 million tonnes of CO2 will not be emitted - about the annual emissions of eight medium-sized power plants."

Same guys are promoting crypto scam now 24/7. May be they used this limits to free energy for this shite?

Also idiots never actually provided calculations on how more energy will be consumed by making new "more energy friendly" cleaners.

Another very real reason - big copper shortages and price inflation, as we constantly have periods of fast rise of all metals prices. By limiting engine power you reduce amount of copper it needs.

And the UK Climate Change Committee says that since 2008 electricity demand is down 17% (despite all our gadgets) and gas demand is 23% lower, thanks to tougher standards on energy efficiency in homes and appliances. This, it says, has helped keep bills down.

Actually nope, they are lower because of constantly rising prices that people have hard time to pay.

And always remember - ANY saving measure promoted by capitalist is made to hike the price of energy to make you pay MORE, not less.

The administration pointed to the Claiborne Expressway in New Orleans and Interstate 81 in Syracuse, New York as two examples of “long-standing and persistent racial oppression” .

The plan set forth by Biden would see billions spent on an effort to “reconnect neighborhoods” by destroying current highways and replacing them by new super cheap and badly build black ghettos, of course new projects will “advance racial equity and environmental justice.”

Btw, many BLM groups fight for destroying many factories and energy infrastructure also calling them as racist stuff. It is nice way to make US and Africa equal.
