Those who try and blame Trump for Americas debt will likely Make Asylums Great Again in order to treat long-TDS

I mean yeah, it's unfair to blame him for more than about a quarter of it.

Not a mathematically sound decision to try and grab the bull debt by the balls and find a point somewhere in the shit.

Obama almost doubled Americas debt during his term, and the DEI regime was burning through trillions (plural) every year.

There are reasons I have never logged into YouTube and watch everything as a non-user. They still learn and show related or relevant stuff, but probably just tied to a generic cookie s897fds8d7fds89sdf7sdfs9v8ds7df89a0b

The billionaires have decided we're going to have feudalism and are working on dismantling capitalism so that they know longer depend on consumers and employees for their wealth and prestige and power. They are creating a world where they do not need you to buy their products. So they already have a solution to the problem it's just their solution doesn't include you.

If the billionaires were actually smart, they would have found a way to curb their incessant Greed and find balance in Capitalism to keep the peace they need.

They're so blinded by greed that they fail to realize they're the first on the fucking menu after the collapse they're creating. A person can easily defeat an ant. That same person can easily be defeated by underestimating what a few hundred million ants will do.

I very much miss the "real" Netflix (Netflix Disc) service.

Unfortunately, my city's library system is not very good. Their collection sucks (mostly old DVD's, nothing remotely recent, and I believe nothing BluRay) and much of their "collection" is just some strange Hoola/Overdrive streaming service.

Oh, and they don't list, online, what media anything is (DVD, BlueRay, 4K), everything says "DVD" (of which I have no interest).

"Trump needs to pick fights the USA can win."

Trump's definition of "win" is not the same as yours. Trump's winning always ends in bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is a scared child pissing themselves in the corner compared to a $38 trillion dollar debt monster.

Those who try and blame Trump for Americas debt will likely Make Asylums Great Again in order to treat long-TDS. We will see if that happens before liberalism succumbs to its own cannibalism.

I'm curious if you'd be comfortable if the people who manage your investment portfolio or retirement accounts were to act that way. Everyone always complains about the other guy being greedy, but seems to overlook their own behavior or that kind of behavior when it's beneficial to them. No one would be happy if their bank forsook their fiduciary duties and lent money irresponsibly and lost their depositors money because they didn't want be seen as money chasers.

It's your money though. Use it how you will. Just don't complain if it doesn't work out the way you wished it would have. The only sort of charity that ought to exist is personal charity. Even that is not immune to scammers and those who would try to take advantage of others, but it limits the damage that can be done.

Eventually the AI bubble will burst and suddenly they will find themselves with a lot of DIMMs and a lack of customers to buy them. The same was true of GPUs in the wake of mining booms that went bust. Hopefully those will come down in price as well because the AI boom took off just as the last mining boom was winding down and the prices are still stupidly high compared to historical prices. At least APUs are getting good enough where they're a viable substitute for people who were fine buying lowend cards in the past.

Comment Re:How can we blame this on AI? (Score 1) 28

You got it backwards. If AI were involved, it would have chosen the correct file, and this wouldn't have happened. AI is infallible, neigh unto God, and humans are silly and stupid. That's the lesson to be taken from this. Remove humans from decision making, for their own good.

I envision many future catch-22s where companies both want to admit and blame AI for shit-gone-wrong, while also not wanting to admit or blame AI because they're so heavily invested in it.

or follow the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule when it comes to change..

Uh, other than those who have actually gotten ESU support, what exactly do they mean by if it ain't broke?

Windows 10 support ended. From a security standpoint, it is broke.

As far as trying to drag this argument into the COVID vaccines, that sounds like a horrific weak-ass excuse to dismiss the problems that have risen from those particular emergency-authorized solutions.

What problems? You mean the ones that are way less risky than unvaccinated exposure? Whatever, antivaxxer.

Risk, is not the topic that will earn you a smile from a grieving mother of a perfectly healthy child who's now dead. Let's stop pretending we can easily explain every completely unexpected death in recent times when almost all of them have one thing in common.

Anyone who understands vaccines and the human body will understand there will be those who suffer from side effects. That's not the problem here, and certainly doesn't make me "anti" vax. I'm more questioning why vaccine companies were not forced to publish all of their trial data because they demanded emergency-use liability protection.

If you're right, there is a zero percent chance of a multi-trillion dollar lawsuit being raised in America at some point. I wouldn't hold your breath.
