Trade war

Benjamin Netanyahu and his zionist administration have been and still are purposely starving, burning alive, raping, shooting, bombing and torturing men, women and children in Palestine long before the retaliatory attack of October 7th. To be clear, zionism and Judaism are not same. Zionist is to Judaism as the Ku Klux Klan is to Christianity or how ISIS is to Muslims. Yes, I am directly comparing the zionist state to a theoretical KKK run state and the actual ISIS run territories. Netanyahu recently confirmed his plan of the zionist Greater Israel project in which they plan to steal Lebanese, jordanian, Egyptian, Iraqi and Syrian land, murder and expel their people and permanently reshape the middle east, creating the next generation of migrant regugees fleeing unnecessary wars of aggression by American proxies and allies. Until such a time that the International Criminal Court is able to capture the Zionist regime for their crimes against humanity and war crimes ( some of the same things those at Nuremberg were charged with) we should be doing no business in any way shape or form with Israel and their IDF terrorist forces and should be treating them as the modern day direct equivalent to Nazi Germany that they are.

In the coming months/years it's very likely that China will attempt to invade and aquire Taiwan, which is a free and independent nation. Besides the human rights concerns, this is important because 60% of computer chips and almost all the worlds advanced chips used in your smart phones and powering our AI overlords come from Taiwan. If/when an invasion occurs, the price of already expensive computer components used in almost every electronic smarter than a toaster will skyrocket, likely for years if not permanently, meaning existing used electronics will also become more expensive. You may be asking why we can't just build them here, to which the simple answer is that the machines and process of making these chips is unfathomably complex and took decades of scientific research and capital investment to get to where it is today. Although it would be a multi billion dollar a year business to manufacture and export similar advance chips made here at home for the same technologies, it would require large, outside investment. You as citizens have a right to be informed on global issues that will end up affecting you directly even if it's not something we can control.

Our AI oligarch overlords see our natural resources as their property to do with as they please for their personal profit. Data centers DO NOT bring new jobs once completed and in fact contribute to further AI automation of jobs. Data centers DO NOT provide any tangible benefits to anyone who lives around them, only those who own the software, data and center itself. From noise pollution, water pollution, air pollution, the destruction of ground water that can take hundreds of years to replenish, AI data centers simply are not right for us in this beautiful home. As Mayor I will stand with residents against the AI imperial project, both in terms of standing against data centers and job stealing automation.
