Primaries are for getting the candidates you want. General elections are for picking the candidate who is closest to your values. If you really want change, get involved for your primary candidate. Just bitching on here and sitting out on civic action is selfish catharsis.
“Morally binding” AKA Not actionable performative bull shit to appear to take warnings seriously.
MAGA are such Snowflakes.
Because that’s a Heritage foundation talking point. They think they’re lions and wolves, but really they’re parrots.
Bruh - you do understand almost all technology is prohibitively expensive when it’s new and becomes cheaper with investments in development and manufacturing improvements. That only happens with investments in that development. Visible endorsements like the president pushing for adoption make people invest more in these technologies. Not sure why you are so against this $28,000 project. The government wastes astronomically more on technologies that never become viable every year. Trump is literally canceling paid for wind projects and just giving contractors the money because oil lobbyists funded his campaign. The government wasted more on drill baby drill propaganda than this small project ever cost tax payers.
Yeah, they’d give all that information to private companies to data mine us to death. Not to mention these right wingers are a bunch of eugenics nuts.
Oh yes, that minuscule expenditure to encourage adoption was so wasteful. Our government has spent enough to cover the entire country over with solar panels in their misguided foreign wars, subsidies, and a million other wasteful expenditures for the oil industry.
It’s billionaire money - that’s the heart of it all. Everything can be traced back to billionaire financing. The Republican Party was just the easiest vehicle to power to corrupt. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/master-plan/id1723377799
It was a strong symbolic move though. Had America pushed harder on renewables we’d all be paying a lot less for energy now and we likely wouldn’t have pushed into the middle east at the behest of oil profiteers. Not to mention the climate outcomes. Reagan was strongly pushed by the oil lobby.
Reagan was part of a concerted effort by the mega rich to destroy anti-corruption efforts and put power in the hands of a unitary executive more akin to a dictator. Oligarchs love strong centralized power because it’s easier to corrupt.

I’m not saying I agree with the narrative. I’m saying it will be attempted and will be a problem before the legal system can catch up and address it. We will also be talking international law, which is trickier, as countries jockey to make friendly laws to get AI cash like Argentina. Especially with the tech industry constantly suing and lobbying.
This is a big problem with AI, laws have not remotely caught up to these scenarios. Then you have Argentina creating legal structures for AI corporations that could essentially do this type of stuff, but evade prosecution because the corporation will give the owner limited liability and with no employees, the only punishment can be to shut down the corporation. Then they can spin up a new AI corporation and do it all over again in theory. Technology is advancing far beyond our ability to control it properly and tech bros don’t care much about consequences since they have historically been so minimal. Move fast, break shit is a psychopathic ethos.
Most people who say owning or investing income is the way to go started out with the means to make this obtainable in their life. Not saying you can’t work your way to that, but you will have to work hard to get there if you aren’t from circumstances where wealth is available to you through non-labor means. I find the majority of the people espousing this ethos the loudest are the “born on third base” types. They have a real need to justify their wealth as “earned.”
It’s an ouroboros. The ultra wealthy finance state actors till they become rich (insider trading,etc), then they enter the private sector and become even more filthy rich by getting executive jobs or board seats to lobby the next state actor they can corrupt. I always follow the money, because there are very few true believers actually in power.
Why do you think every other billboard on the interstate is for some lawyer suing truckers? Then trucker insurance goes up and they pass that expense on to shippers and everything gets more expensive. Businesses don’t care because everything’s is owned by the same private equities anyway - so the rich get richer.
You think we would have learned this from school. When there’s no teacher in the room to watch the testing, some kids alway cheat. The more they get away with it, the more kids decide to cheat. This seems super basic, but somehow they still convince people “self regulation” works.
Billionaires are pouring infinite money into right wing movements. They have no scruples and can pay anyone they need to get what they want done. The problem is capitalism because it creates extreme unelected power in an extremely small self interested minority. They also fund the power centers of the left to keep things from moving too far against them. Elections move on money far too much. In the end, you can’t have democracy and capitalism. Slowly capitalism always tries to swallow democracy.
He’s a hypocritical joke and all his takes are completely centered on self interest.
