AI by white techbros is okay. Chinese competition is bad. That’s the real story. All the rich people are terrified of Chinese competition in the US, and now Germany has a bunch of Nazi bootlickers too.

If this works in Europe, then Europeans are not smarter than Americans. The whole “why don’t Americans do something” rhetoric goes right out the window.

Why would every American buy one if they can’t afford insurance + medical bills to pay for health care? “Oh look, I’m having a heart attack. Good to know. Guess I’ll just keep working.”

Laws don’t work any longer. Only for poor folks.

Bernie has corporate backers too. I think that might be just because he’s old and doing what AOC is doing by not having backers is maybe a new progressive thing. I mean, she has a few small donors, but not like the older dems.

I agree. Trump is just a symptom of the problem. People didn’t like Biden. They just didn’t want Trump. With the wealth gap widening and the national debt interest costing more than our defense budget, there is no way our path was sustainable. It’s one thing Elon said I agree with. I just wish we could have dealt with our shit without half the country being kneejerk about it and deciding they would just rather hate and alienate everyone while we deal with the natural consequences of our inevitably collapsing system. The collapse was coming regardless, but they needed everyones racist anger and inferiority complexes to accelerate it.

Some of them are. Specifically, Nancy Pelosi and Schumer. Establishment shills to the max. AOC, Bernie, and Jasmine Crocket are our hope for the future, although I’m a bit aggravated with Bernie’s corporate donors. AOC does not accept money from large corporations. She is the obvious leader of the party.

It’s unbelievable that half the voters wanted it. It’s betrayal.

Y’all know that is automatically deducted from paychecks, right? I guess we should just starve.

Just think about how all those folks that mentioned it somehow thought they were immune.

Laced with fentanyl.

He’s basically gutting NASA so it can be reduced to a taxpayer-funded corporate subsidy for greedy billionaires and giant corps. They’re killing everyone’s dreams and inspiration.

I’ll bet all those dummies can punctuate properly. !!!

The crazy thing is that nothing will change unless someone takes control to stop the corporate-controlled stalemate that runs our society. The far right is awful, and the fact that they are the only ones capable of getting it done is probably the most terrifying notion this country has experienced in my lifetime. It’s just going to be splitting all the wealth with another group of nerdy billionaire assholes and making a worse gov. I just want to wake up and realize it’s a nightmare.

If that’s the case, then humanity is doomed.

Billions of dollars, and they can’t afford to buy ebooks?

If this happens, can we please all make a protest or petition with the FCC?

They need a tech ethics board, and people need a license to operate or work in decision-making capacities. Also, anyone above the person’s head making an unethical decision loses their license, too. License should be cheap to prevent monopoly, but you have to have one to handle data. Don’t have a license. Don’t have a company. Plant shitty surveillance without separate, noticeable, succinctly presented agreements that are clear and understandable, with warnings about currently misunderstood uses, then you lose license. First offense.

Edit: Also mandatory audits with preformulated and separate, and succint notifications are applied. “This company sells your info to the government and police forces. Any private information, even sexual in nature, can be used against you. Your information will be used by several companies to build your complete psychological profile to sell you things you wouldn’t normally purchase and predict crimes you might commit.”

I’ve been trying to tell people for 15 years. It hasn’t worked a single bit. It’s frustrating that people think they have nothing to hide when their carelessness and lack of tech knowledge is ruining the future of the next generations. I just can’t try to explain it to everyone. They don’t link the relation at all. I thought maybe eventually, they would just get it, but here we still are…

He’s not going to learn and grow when they’ve elevated his positions and, therefore, his ego and sense of importance. People talk about empathy, but having a high EQ is not as easy as people make it out to be. The average human does not have the intelligence to understand the hardships of others without ever having experienced those hardships themselves.
