You don't seem to understand the difference between government(and their supporters), and the people who live in a country. Trump and the current administration in the USA are clearly the worst examples of humanity, but the Chinese government is known for promoting manufacturing in China to the point where the government will promote selling products at a loss just to increase market presence in other markets. The US government may do that internally, but has not been paying companies so they can sell products at a loss.

The majority of Americans do NOT support this behavior, so while it is fair to say that the American government shouldn't be believed, most of us don't believe in that sort of manipulation.

Amazon is both an e-tailer as well as a logistics company that distributes products for other companies. Amazon for the most part does not MAKE products, though they have a number of Amazon branded products and a few like the Amazon Fire Stick that are their own products. Overall, that is a VERY different type of company that is there to create and sell products. With that said, you have the next piece of the puzzle, companies that sell products, and the cost of research and development will be the reason why companies will often start by operating with an overall loss instead of profits.

When the cost to MAKE a product is more than the product is being sold for, that's not due to it being a new company with higher costs to operate than revenue, that is intentionally running at a loss to gain market share, or because you have a government that is trying to undercut products from other countries. That is what we are seeing in this case, China as a nation is working to flood the world with products that on their own, are not profitable.

Here in the USA, we have a mentally challenged president who has been showing clear signs of dementia, so we have no true leadership when one party in power does what one demented old man keeps pushing for.

This administration is already doing this, because that is what fascists do. They want government to control the means of production in as many ways as they can.

The Trump administration has shown that there are NO reasons they do anything other than to make Trump and/or his friends more money. This administration is 100% about being corrupt.

Have you considered going to Firefox ESR then if you don't want to be updating very often? A version that has frequent updates that you never want to install may not be for you.

I will get an occasional need to reboot to install the latest update, but that's it. Unless you never close Firefox, the browser itself doesn't give that many messages. If you set different web pages to notify you, that's on you for turning THOSE notifications on.

Based on how Trump accuses others of the things he and his administration are guilty of, there is a fair indication that the election was stolen, but the Democratic Party has pussies running things and they don't challenge questionable things the way Republicans do.

Why not go with Cthulhu?

DeSantis and so many Republicans are against LGBT+ because when they see others who have "come out", it inspires them to drop their own facade and come out themselves. THAT is what makes Republicans uncomfortable, that they are living a lie. Those who know and accept who and what they are should have no problem with LGBT+, because sexual assaults by LGBT+ people are VERY VERY VERY rare.

Fox has been proven in a court of law to have been pushing Trump propaganda to the point where they LIED and had to pay over $750 million over the Dominion voting machine issue. The people at Fox KNEW that what they were saying and pushing were lies(known falsehoods), and Fox News is also officially registered as an entertainment instead of a news outlet, which is why Faux News is a known name for them, because of the false nonsense they continually push to their clueless viewers.

That's what it comes down to, Fox is just a propaganda arm of the Trump administration that really does push lies continually. It's not that they are biased, they actually spread falsehoods.

All of these executives who have been pushing for layoffs because "AI will replace the need for employees" are clearly incompetent at what they do. You do NOT replace good employees with an untested and unproven technology like AI. That's just common sense, and any employees who would trust the work of AI without verification of the results are also at fault.

AI at the moment, is good for certain tasks that will aid workers, but other than a BASIC use like front line for a phone queue to help route calls(and even this has been shown not to work acceptably in many cases) isn't a terrible use, but anything more complicated just requires too much monitoring and correction by humans to be worth replacing PEOPLE with AI at this point.

These executives have been scammed into believing that AI is ready to replace humans, but they show that they are incompetent at the basic things needed in management, the ability to decide what to do.

When the only "evidence" is "AI said", that's where there is a real problem here. The idea of probable cause being needed comes into play. AI saying the person MIGHT be the criminal when AI is prone to being wrong means that before arrest, the police should have done at least some really basic checking about the person.

That is why those police departments SHOULD have lawsuits going on for this case, because even basic verification wasn't done before the arrest was made.

Prior to the 1990s, communication was very primitive, and required manual work to see what happened one town over. The idea of "just flee to the next town/county/state" was enough to let someone who had violated the law just go somewhere else and start their life "fresh" with a new identity, because being able to look up the records from other places wasn't possible.

In this case, it's not a person who incorrectly identified the person in a lineup, it is purely from AI being believed without any sort of verification was done.

There are some crimes where the accusation alone is enough to ruin the life of a person, even if the person is later found to be innocent. Being a pedophile, rape, and murder are some of the big ones where if your name is linked to one of these types of crimes, you will quickly lose your job, and be blacklisted when it comes to getting another job. Later, a background search will still bring up, "known pedophile", even if you have been declared innocent, Google would find it for example.

Now, if the police had actually done investigation BEFORE an arrest was made, that's one thing, but this is, "AI showed you as being a possible suspect, so you must be guilty", and that's not going to be something that should be allowed.
