You know there are people who do this thing called being born and then they grow up and then they have to buy things because you're not born with a 32 GB memory kit. At least I wasn't maybe that's a birth defect...

Away from the build-out being finished. The bubble isn't a bubble it's not going to pop. The infrastructure isn't going to get shut down and sold off it's going to get used.

Like I mentioned on another thread the problem AI solves is wages. Paying wages.

This means that AI isn't going anywhere. Now a whole bunch of companies will collapse and the banks will be in trouble because they would have loaned those companies hundreds of billions of dollars. But you're just going to have to bail those Banks out or they will take the entire economy down with them and you will lose your retirement and your job.

There are solutions to all of these problems but none of them are acceptable to the average voter.

Even in the current environment they are objectively wrong. All the study proves is that propaganda works.

The ruling elite has decided they do not want you to be educated. They have spent a lot of money to convince you that you do not need to be educated.

You can tell they're lying because they don't tell their kids to go become plumbers. They send them to very expensive schools with a lot of humanities courses so that they can be taught critical thinking

I know tech nerds don't like the humanities but when you are dealing with someone who does not automatically think critically about information that is how you teach them to do it. This is why you will always find lots of humanities classes at expensive schools.

It's not about cost it's about dependency. As it stands if you're a billionaire you are completely dependent on employees and consumers for your wealth and prestige and power

They don't like that. They don't like that at all.

So they are more than happy to spend more resources especially since they have unlimited resources because we let them have unlimited resources.

When I say that they are dismantling capitalism this is what I mean. It means that profit and loss are no longer the driving motivators in human economic interaction.

To make it happen. You need to come up with a better answer than "that won't work".

Explain to yourself why it won't work. If you can't do that then you are just coping with the coming crisis.

Has several detailed videos that are highly amusing explaining why this is a scam. I am a little surprised to see Europe getting in on the scam though.

I wonder if this is just one of the mill corruption with money being handed out to people or if this is like how in America hyperloop bullshit with used to shut down high speed rail in California.

Whatever the case it's frustrating to see this scam still continuing on

Want to market? You need to read up on the history of antitrust law or literally pay attention to anything that's going on in the economy right now. Capitalists especially the billionaire ones do not want a market they want absolute control and power.

Billionaires are in the process of dismantling capitalism and replacing it with a feudal system. With themselves as the Lord's and machines is the peasantry. They will have a handful of scribes in the form of engineers keeping the machines running and a handful of knights as thugs to keep the scribes in line

The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are indeed our buffer zones. NATO was formed to keep Russia from further implementation of Buffer states that are populated and subservient to Russia. There is a certain advantage to have thousands of miles of water around your country There is no real practical way for a buffer state scenario here. And the US doesn't rule the Atlantic and Pacific.

You might want to claim that the US was protecting itself. Yes, in some form it was. It was also protecting allies. Not many western countries wanted to be living under Stalinist/Russian rule. Stalin and his replacements have rather different methods of handling disagreement. Command Economies are not popular among people who prefer to set their own goals. Seeing the difference between East and West Germany, and the Stalinist attempts to starve West Berlin - a Kind of mini holodomor if you will, and the resulting Berlin Airlift, told us what we needed to know about Stalin's plans.

Don't mistake trolling for anger. and your little hands comment is kinda weird. I thoroughly enjoy pissing you and your ilk off, it feeds me.

Now to weakness - probably not our time to fall yet. Countries do not stay at or near the top forever, and that's a fact. Too much competition, and the so called "Grand Experiment" here in the US will eventually fail. There is no Roman Empire today. There is no British Empire today. No Soviet Union. The question is what will replace the US when that eventually happens?

Of today's players - who do you want to replace the US, and hold the power against the other countries that want the position. Name it. A question of utmost simplicity, no trolling, no humor, no little hands, no patheticness. No name calling. Name the country.

AI was going to solve so that was worth a trillion dollars.

Wages. The problem AI is designed to solve is paying wages.

Why wouldn't you? I mean, you'll do better without us.

Perhaps I'm just pointing out who is propping you up. One h8er at a time.

Not expecting individuals to grok that necessarily, but no butt-hurt here, just Enjoying watching where y'all are heading.

I re-read your post. You are correct, and I was way off. I dunno if I posted before my first cup of coffee, but my reading comprehension was really bad. Mea Maxima Culpa!

When Putin came to the helm, it was over. He was KGB.One does not leave KGB or the ideology except by death, or alphabet soup name change.

And while not quite communist, it isn't all that different in practice from before the fall of the USSR, A small class of extreme privilege, and the rest of the country.

Turkey always seemed like an odd fit into NATO. Hungary could be playing with fire. In my assessment of the situation today, the Russian Federation today is not the Soviet Union. Can they come to dominate Europe, or at least create a Stalinesque vision of buffer states? Probably not. I do not think they have enough power. Their difficulties in Ukraine show some serious weaknesses. A country that teaches about the Holodomor in their history classes might just fight back. I would expect most EU countries would also fight back.

Replying after finishing that first cup today. 8^)

NAK

This is a company IT initiative. IT can damn well unlock it. Had a customer with lots of Word and Excel users refusing to switch. The owner told them as of X date, MS tools would be removed, and Libre Office installed. They could train for the transition, or be fired for failing productivity metrics. Strangely, all were able to transition to Libre within the time frame. Their "huge spreadsheet" effort took me all of half a day to move to Postgres and PHP with data retention and history.

Due to a fundamental lack of understanding of what acting like a Christian is.

" Ukraine has already inflicted almost 1.2 million casualties to the Russian army in the war."

The entire Russian military has 1.5 million members. See how stupid the people who told you that casualty number think you are?
