Because a marketer calls something a subsidy doesn't make it so. 'Selling' a phone for less than list, than making it up on monthly charges is _not_ a subsidy. Unless you're a moron who can't add and can't see past today.
China manages/manipulates its exchange rate. We'll see how that works out for them in the long run. It keeps the price of Chinese goods low, but it means the Chinese overpay for everything they buy overseas, like their bank reserves (lots of US treasuries). For decades China has targeted 100% industrial utilization with exchange rate. Guess what? Simple minded metrics get gamed...
Mexico successfully competes with China _all_the_time_, American roads are full of cars/trucks that are made in Mexico. We import fully half as much from Mexico as China (on the books, add the value of all the drugs and Mexico likely has higher gross #s, granting most of those are just going through Mexico.) Mexico has higher per capita American imports than China.
Also note: Mexico is a narco state. Sinaloa runs/owns the Mexican federal government and many Mexican state governments. They are still at war with the old cartel (name escapes me) whose federal government was voted out about 15 years ago.
If China's capital controls worked, they could have a peg and have control of their own money supply. Yeah bitcoin. Yeah influential Chinese who ignore the controls.
The counter to 'currency peg' is 'print the shit out of your currency'. The peg meant the USA and China had, effectively, one money supply. Weather changing the peg to a basket of currencies had any effect isn't apparent. Not like others aren't printing too.
The real losers aren't completely apparent yet. China's banks have always been unaudited steaming piles. But a nation can squander, when it's the factory for the world. Who knows?
They can do short term ramping on the steam, also coal plants typically have a blower fan which is the next tool. The things are unwieldy bitches. Operators are old experienced hands, they 'don't wanna do it'. Could, but it's just not worth the hassle and cost, they know because they did, once for a little while. Like the few nukes designed to ramp. At the end of the day, they didn't.
The heat recovery steam generators (boilers) on combined cycle gas plants are a lot like coal, not very throttleable. But the CT part is enough.
A few of the new ones do, usually at the expense of international bands, a generic world phone multiband will work on T-mobile and ATT. Due diligence will get you prepaid SIMs on those networks, just like anywhere else in the world.
Nobody uses white fuming nitric acid at home, for anything.
Off the shelf (in a HS lab) 'concentrated' is typically 1 molar acid. That won't do the job.
Truth is, I tried. Had 'an in' at the local university chem department supply room. My dad the prof.
Anyhow, came up with BS to justify needing a small amount of 5 molar sulphuric. Got it. Waited a 'long time' in my middle school head. Tried to do the same thing for nitric. Dad said: 'Nitro cellulose is much more stable than nitroglycerin, don't be an idiot son.' Didn't tell me any 18 year old could buy it in the reloading department at the gun store. Let me find that out for myself. Fun times. All parts still attached.
5 molar is mother's milk compared to any of the fuming acids.

None will top CNN reporting the 'swallowing semen prevents breast cancer' fake study.
Dents in rotor blade != dents in fuselage.
Rotor blades are expensive, stressed and delicate.
They, at very least, need inspection and repair. That isn't just some dude running his hand over them and slapping on some bondo.
It landed, per protocol for any blade impact. Would have been the same if the pilot had caught some branches.
Rail spur from nearest line vs. pipeline to nearest line with available capacity. You're a moron if you think either is universally cheaper.
Check that: Your just a moron. Likely the same AC who thinks coal is trucked.

Clearly more than you have.

No. Each plan pays for it's own phone. The excess profit, if you're stupid enough to stay on contract, is pure profit to the company.
China pegs their currency, Mexico lets it float.
Also note: Mexico is a narco state. Sinaloa runs/owns the Mexican federal government and many Mexican state governments. They are still at war with the old cartel (name escapes me) whose federal government was voted out about 15 years ago.
Both ways work.

To be fair, when fracking was introduced, in ABOUT 1925, they did it with quarter sticks of dynamite. Explosive hydrofracking it was called IIRC.

Low tech farmers on small farms were doomed anyhow. They haven't survived anywhere on earth. Which is generally good. Stoop work sucks.
Mexico competes with China, export manufacturing economy. China pegs their currency.

Trucks? This isn't China. Coal plants have rail spurs (or sit right by the mine).
Generation plants on the mine. Since the 70s. Transport the power, not the coal.
Transport cost is what ultimately killed the grandfathered old plants. But slow rail is cheap.
For Trump, against Hillary. Semantics.
Then again, I voted Vermin Supreme.
Also I don't think you mean 'subsidize'. Contracts aren't subsides, rather the opposite.

Verizon and Sprint are the odd ones.

Which regions where cholera free? At the time they hadn't got that putting the outhouse uphill from the well was a bad idea.

White fuming nitric acid in your HS lab? Alternatively fuming sulphuric acid mixed with azeotropic nitric acid?
HS chem labs _don't_ have acids strong enough to make nitroglycerin. If they ever did, your teachers were fucking crazy.
Quite happy to see the Estonia (my mother's birthplace) has tripled its per capita income in the 21st century. It's now about 30k$US.
Still half the income in the USA, so adjust prices accordingly.
Yeah, the no rings, 18 hours delay, then 6 messages at once thing ended my business with Sprint.
