Only 1.54 packets of ketchup in a week? Not bad!

No idea what the unit is from the graph itself.

It's a contour map. There is no white

You could argue tho, that the "We can kill anything that moves wherever it is in less than 30 seconds"-ability the US gets for not spending a bit of the money on healthcare and education is a bit overkill and a bit unneeded.

Is this in the US? I was over there recently and was pretty shocked at the quantity of disposable plastic. It’s much more substantial than the disposable plastic I’m used to too - the carrier bags are thicker, and food containers from supermarkets were almost like tupperware.

Well they claim to have done just that by calling it defense spending...

Which basically means they (most of the EU) will never do it, and the US will be the bulk share of NATO missions.

Not for the stuff that wraps pallets. I also think not yet in food service, but not sure if that is ongoing or not.

Perhaps 'deplaned' is more common?

I hear that one on occasion.

Flying from Hong Kong to Indy via JFK in a few days… this is a freaky coincidence

I read mental breakdown 🙃

its relative, and not about overall spending: both NZL and AUS have a high gdp/capita, and a high defspending/capita.

how could you possibly separate spending lmao

I didn't need you to explain market cap but thanks for the effort, I'm sure it will helpful to someone. The reason I asked you was because I wanted to know your opinion or your angle on the buy back of apple, that is the same angle I took when I wrote the other downvoted comment.

>This will mean a larger cut of future profits in the form of dividends and greater growth potential in the price of the stock, as future valuations will divide the market cap by 3 instead of 4.

The reasoning I used was, Apple isn't a growing company. Its well mature. I don't think we'll be seeing larger future profits in the form of dividends or greater growth potential. I mean with their product range ever increasing in price, I can't imagine they'd be breaking their sales record any time soon. I personally don't see them growing atleast in the next 5 years unless they come up with better innovation and cheaper prices.

The scenario that you explained is perfect for share buy backs of growing companies that are undervalued. They eventually increase value for the investors long term. But if the shares are overvalued keeping in mind its future prospects, and then you buy them back, it hurts the share holders long term. Any fund manager worth his salt will recognize that and will underweight his position at the very atleast. 401k, which like you said are a bunch of mutual funds and ETFs aren't known to be ahead of the curve. Which is what I meant by lag.

At the end of the day all my comments were entirely based upon the fact that I don't see Apple growing. Which is my opinion and I can of course be wrong.

Edit- Fuck. Now you have me doubting. Am I still wrong?

Additionally the acidity of ketchup will eat through most plastic. Ketchup bottles are made of PET which isn't affected by the acidity, along with a small amount of EVOH to serve as an oxygen barrier to prevent spoilage.

Huh, that’s higher than I would have thought.

Enplaned! Enplaned!

Awesome work!

Any chance you can add 'legend' as well ? Whites usually represent snow and blue reperesents water generally.

Qatar is expanding like crazy, because SA looking sus...

Where do you put the cost of an artillery grenade?

Hi back from germany :)

Here you go!

>It's also why mixed material packaging, like ketchup packets with foil liners and milk cartons can't be recycled, the outer carton is paper

Ketchup packs are just too small and not worth even trying to recycle, inceneration is the best way to dispose of it.

With the proper configuration and air filtration there is no environmental impact for the process

And the milk boxes are made of Tetra Pak, which is recyclable.

Cathay survives cause they are owned by SwireAlso they basically Monopolized the Air Cargo Biz throughout covid into HK. If companies are using their planes for Air Cargo; they still own the Cargo Terminal that processes everything entering and exiting. As well as owning the maintenance company; where a lot of airlines outside HK fly over to do their work.

On top of all the cost cutting they did to their staff; including, but not limited to, closing Dragonair outright. Most employees found out their company disappeared when they couldn't get into the building.

>(unless it's purely a clean and reuse type of thing)

We have the tech for that too.

This article is fantastic.
