It's kind of great actually, it makes it easier for my CEO to generate code and tell me to integrate it into our product. AI in Slack si the feature I've been waiting for all my career.

right, they modded me troll decade and a half ago here when I said the nations will fall apart, governments will fail, libertarian ideas will take hold. They are modding me troll today, yet it is exactly what is happening. It is possible that people are actually afraid that my comments will cause ot to jappen somehow should more people read them. My comments are not the reason anything happens, that is magical thinking by the fearful moderators. My comments are a prediction and the reality is moving in the direction of my prediction.

With the fact that arrests have dropped from 44,000 per year to about 11,000 per year because so many federal law enforcement agents have been taken off other beats and put on immigration enforcement....

Seriously look it up. If we had a functional media it would be much bigger news. Most of the Democrats sucks so hard in messaging...

What if, and I'm just spitballing here, the news media barely covered this and certainly didn't cover the corruption angle at all because the news media is now completely owned by billionaires like something like literally 90% of the news media is owned by billionaires.

So almost nobody hears about this and then the news cycle eats the attention of anyone who does and we all just move on and forget about it. Does that work for you?

In project 2025 they call it shock and awe. Everything is a distraction from the previous terrible thing Trump did and everything Trump does next is a distraction from whatever he's doing at the time. Meanwhile the economy is continuously collapsing due to mismanagement so you're too busy trying to keep your head above water to care about anything else.

Then you mix in a little voter suppression and the fact that a billionaire Trump sycophant just bought the company that controls all of our voting machines and maybe do a few hundred billion dollars of propaganda right before the election and Bob's your uncle Trump gets a third term or at least JD Vance gets his term.

Then we had 25% unemployment, world war III takes off and goes nuclear and we Fermi paradox ourselves. I don't think the billionaires are planning on that last one but I don't think they are thinking any of this through either. They're just too busy trying to set themselves up as feudal Kings.

It's quaint that you think the United States is still a republic. It's a monarchy, and Trump's handlers are likely moving currently to make sure that when Vance succeeds him, that the Executive branch and a Congress that will be, through the use of naked force if necessary, remain filled with Republican paper tigers to complement the paper tigers in the Supreme Court, settles into the oligarchy the Framers always really intended it to be. The military will largely be used to recreate the American hemispheric hegemony. The National Guard and ICE will be used as foot soldiers within the US to "secure" elections.

The morons that elected that diseased wicked and demented man have destroyed whatever the hell America was. As a Canadian, I can only hope we can withstand this hemispheric dominance and the raiding of our natural resources to feed the perverse desires of the child molesters, rapists, racists and psychopaths that have already taken control of the US.

Doubtless, I will be downvoted by the remaining MAGA crowd here. You know, the guys that pretended they refused to vote Democrat because Bernie wasn't made leader, but are to a man a pack of Brown Shirts eagerly awaiting the time when they imagine they can take part in the defenestration of American society.

This is conservative/right wing agitprop clickbait bullshit of the absolute lowest quality.

no, social media is not creating debt laden people low wages and monopolies raising prices is.

Fuck what a particularly nasty piece of clickbait. But you got me I clicked it and I commented so you win I guess.

When the species of super intelligent raccoons or beavers take over from us after we drive ourselves to Extinction through sheer stupidity I wonder what they will think of this crap.

It's very clear that you didn't read the article, don't understand the arguments involved, but SOMEHOW feel entitled to spout your opinion.

Why?? Why not just read the article and become smarter? You don't need to show your ignorance off to the world, you can easily read the article, become non-ignorant and say something informed.

People who complain about the US dollar and oil are people who've never taken an economics class.

If you're too lazy to learn economics, then do a simple search to find out the world's oil production compared to the number of dollars in the world, and that should give you an idea of how much influence it actually has.

see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.

any amount of government, all of it makes me sick to my stomach, that is all I have to say on the topic.

Correct, government shouldn't be running services, this is up to the private individuals to satisfy needs at an agreed price. Years ago here I said that at some point in the 21st century we will see collapse of the government structures, we are observing it now. The next logical step is to have all services, no matter what they are to be done privately if needed. This is what I am rooting for, I am hoping to see it in this life time.

It seems that way because you see headlines that they had such and such multimillion dollar fine levied but they appeal and don't pay the fine or it gets reduced to a tiny fraction of the profits from the illegal behavior. But funny thing the news media never seems to cover that...

I know of companies that literally have a classification system where they figure out which laws they can break. You will be shocked to find that the laws that affect rich people are generally in the list of ones they can't break while the laws that affect you are in the list of laws they can break...

Even under Biden it was difficult to get consumer protection laws enforced and the fines actually levied and paid and now the Trump is president worst case scenario you buy a little bit of trump coin and the problem gets solved.

The problem is we can't sustain this many billionaires let alone the number who want to be trillionaires.

And we can't take the billionaire's money away because if you try a bunch of old people who grew up on Cold war propaganda are convinced you're going to break into their house and steal their toothbrush. And anyway those billionaires earned it because if they didn't God wouldn't have blessed them /s

fuck ruzzia, fuck all ruzzians and triple fuck everyone doing business with the. Hopefully their scourge of s country collapses and breaks into small pieces and everyone there gets ass cancer of the 5th degree and dies a horrible death.

Oh good I found a bot. Good luck training your llm here whoever you are.
