Are you saying you didn't see this coming? It is a democratic system, ain't it? So this means politicians just do what is expedient, that's why they are elected. Leaders have stopped being elected long long time ago. Not that I am for any government intervention into any of this at all, I am against it. I believe we must do what we do as a species without any collective action enforced by government, I am against all government intervention. I am totally against anyone trying to architect our survival as a species, I am all for real natural selection.

Asked the thing to tell me:

is this it?

I don't know how some people get these types of weird answers, I cannot get the damn thing to tell me the wrong time. The only really weird thing is that it is 'searching the web' while 'thinking'.

you can do that now and find out the u.s. account at the time was nonsense. Go to wikipedia and see.

my dictator can tax the crap out of us with tariffs on imports from your dictator. we sure showed you who the bitch is!

Wrong, it's 100% on the teen's parents. Blaming internet or some chatbot is being the typical modern snowflake trying to shift blame where it doesn't belong.

I found out and it's boring. Amazon has 60 crashes per million miles, half of USPS rate.

a government or anyone may decide they need a reserve of something in case it later becomes unaccessible when needed. When can a government *need* BTC? Needing oil or food or water or weapons or gold is understandable, those are real things and it is possible to run out of these items and be in a position where access is limited.

If one "needs" crypto currency they may either purchase it in the market freely or just start their own, even Trump has done this on multiple occasions.

Note, it says "a reserve", not a speculative asset to gamble on its price.

who is going to connect to a plex server outside of the home, and over public internet?

install tailscale to bypass this, or switch to jellyfin (though i have to admit i prefer the plex player UI)

Robots will replace most of those and very soon, not Musk's but Chinese ones. Their construction robots are already doing amazing things with a single human supervisor

Road workers? Plenty of things are replaceable now. That flagmag? road painter? pouring concrete?

it's coming.

Before AI I replaced my flagship Android phone once every 2 or 3 years. Now I am not sure, how can I replace my phone if I do not want AI functionality in it at all?

Deflation and slowing of economy wouldn't be allowed though, Fed would pump money. Your inner Jew needs to be channeled into bargain hunting and saving with investment to have peace.

those asian and european lines through wilderness don't prove a thing about trying to get into a dense extended metropolitan area that covers more than one state, with already occupied rail lines that are core to the U.S. economy carrying 40% of the ton-weight for long distance.

So, have to build over highways, or do other elevated, wickedly expensive. Down into the water table around Great Lakes is a bad idea.

Yes that is my point, there are occupied rail corridors that will not shut down and move aside into a pocket dimension. Not a matter of "hard" or "closed minded" , economic and engineering reality are the questions. An elevated rail could do it, that is wickedly expensive. Whatever place you are talking about has wide open land. I see the problem all right, starry eyed dreamers with romantic notions, comparing their empty asian and european wildernesses with Chicago urban area, lolz!
