Yes I'm sure Fox News tells you that. But the world is full of posts modded as troll about white, male Americans too. You may notice that if you take your klan hat off.

Hint: When you title your post "Fuck that dumb whore" you're a troll regardless of what the rest of you post is about or what other language you use. If you think otherwise I'd invite you to open a dictionary.

There is no need to do any "upgrade" from one to the other as the difference between N versions of Windows and standard versions of Windows are simply moved to the System > Optional Features.

Interestingly I bought a Windows PC from within the EU, and I live in the EU, and my version does *not* indicate it's an N SKU.

It was a humorous way to bring attention to the fact that a large corporation primarily concerned with profits is unlikely to be heavily focused on safety. He was not being literal and I think you know that.

A shitload of corporations who are losing money hand over fist on AI and are under pressure to make it profitable are building and reopening a shitload of nuclear power plants.

I think the phrase is "what could possibly go wrong?" Followed by a laugh track and a general order of evacuation lasting 10 years ala Fukushima.

And before you start trying to apologize for Fukushima I will remind you that the city in question was evacuated for 10 years, engineers warned the CEOs about the coming tsunami and earthquake and outlined expensive safety precautions that would have prevented the disaster and finally and perhaps most importantly the public blamed the engineers.

The entire reason that agency exists is to help secure our infrastructure and coordinate with the public. Or do you see something in their mission about privately discovering vulnerabilities for politics.

If the point is to score political points for the party in charge, it's probably illegal for a federal agency to do that bud.

They're just doing a shakedown. After some money changes hands to the right people all will be forgiven.

It is possible that the companies in question will just wait it out and see if Trump loses in 2028.

But with the Trump administration it's always about soliciting bribes.

Just like taxi cab drivers will. Internet is fast enough now that you can pilot vehicles remotely.

A very small number of jobs requiring physical presence will continue to exist but they will pay very very little because there will be so many desperate people fighting for the small amount of work that is left. It's supply and demand and there's a huge supply of labor and did not much demand.

We could create more demand through government spending but good fucking walk with that. Because we allowed the government to become so hopelessly corrupt while we indulged in moral panics and freaking out about drag queens and trans girls the money from that just goes straight to the top. A good example is one of the Trump officials funneled half a billion dollars to a Trump donor that she was asking to pay off her credit card bills.

When people are faced with this corruption they just throw their hands up and say everybody is corrupt so who cares who I vote for but then they turn around and vote for right-wing politicians who are openly corrupt every single time. And good luck getting somebody to understand the nuanced difference between using the occasional insider stock tip versus sending half a billion dollars of corrupt contracts to your buddies...

The real problem is about 60% of the country thinks and operates at the level of a 12 year old and I don't know what the fuck you do about that. That was fine when most people were just dirt farmers but it just doesn't fly in a modern mechanized society.

There's a wide variety of ways to structure stock so that you can give out worthless stock to people while keeping the valuable stock for yourself. If we had a properly regulated stock market that wouldn't be the case but if we had a properly regulated stock market then SpaceX couldn't have been forced into the NASDAQ even though it has no clear path to the profitability number is needed for the valuation given.

It's all just a scam to steal our retirements. So given that when the scam is done and they have all of our money sure they can give out some worthless stock for a dying company.

Elon Musk is a crook. If a crook offers you something of value then you can bet they have a plan to steal from you.

You should have learned this sometime between the 5th and 6th grades or whatever the equivalent is in your country. Take a moment and make a phone call to whoever didn't teach you that and yell at them for not teaching you how to defend yourself from charlatans and crooks. Whoever it is they deserve it.

You're really reaching there and I know you know this. You're correct that the private sector is a check on big government. However, unregulated and ruthless capitalism is a destructive force for everyone but the 1%. You talk about your retirement/college fund?....OK...what the fuck is your kid going to do? How are they going to make a living? The end result of what this guy bemoans is that every worker is paid the ABSOLUTE minimum they can get by with. Every corner is cut. Every means of exploiting the customer is used. Their only option is either be an investor or MAYBE a medical career...or one of those unique jobs where you're special to the 1%: performer/musician/yacht-designer...IDK...high class butler?

Tech jobs?...nope...replaced by AI...which did an inferior job, but hey, cut another corner. The Republicans passed legislation limiting your liability for data theft. Business management? accounting?...same fate. Lawyer?...same. Will EVERY job be replaced?...of course not, but if the jobs are 10% of what they were, how's your kid going to compete against the ENTIRE globe!?!?!

OK...so maybe it's your retirement fund?...well private equity and MBA CEOs cut every corner and exploited. you every way they can find. Your favorite fast food chain?...cut the quality by half and increased the price by 2x....same for every food product you buy!!! corners cut, more profits to the shareholders, right? OK, you're not into fast food...did you know EVERY local restaurant in the USA relies on 2 suppliers? Sysco and US Foods control nearly the entire market and have been exploiting their customers, your favorite restaurants. The same will apply to literally every product you buy, so all these returns? eaten up VERY quickly for you....Zuckerberg/Musk?...well...they're sitting on a ton of cash, so it doesn't matter. Their children will earn so much, it will easily outpace the cost gains and general enshitffication of the world...will you account??

The first are just fine. They teach you a variety of skills for running a business typically a mix of accounting, some management and a bunch of statistics. It's just a specialized degree focused on the skill sets needed to run a business.

The one that is a problem are the kind of schools Mitt Romney went to.

What Romney's School taught him is how to break the law without breaking the law. It was a detailed program to teach him how to fleece the public without getting in trouble. That is a very different curriculum then what most of your MBAs walk away with.

Basically the Epstein class gets an entire type of education that is completely beyond anything you would assume is reasonable. It's a focus on the legal aspects of business and teaching people what they can get away with when they're ripping people off.

I don't think we should abolish that degree I think we should abolish the legal system that makes that degree valuable.

Also modern factory automation means that I won't be any jobs. Go look up stuff like how the old steam controller is assembled. The Gundam factory is pretty crazy too there's like three people that are responsible for manufacturing every single Gundam model kit on the planet.

Years ago I remember a sleeping bag company going out of business because they couldn't compete with the larger companies. But at their peak they made something like a third of the sleeping bag sold in the country and they did that with technology from maybe 20 years ago and about 120 or 130 employees.

We should be talking more about how automation has hollowed out the middle class but I don't think anyone has a solution for it. It would be one thing if magic machines automated all the work away but that's not what they did. A shitload of jobs have been automated but a lot of people still need to work. But we are rapidly approaching the time when we have a large population of people for who there is absolutely no useful work. At the same time there's a population of people who we really do need to do work and there isn't a lot of overlap between the two. The people whose jobs got replaced by machines aren't really capable of doing all that much more. They didn't suddenly become super genius mathematicians or doctors or something.

So we're going to basically have a rather nasty fight between a shitload of people who we don't have any place for in society and a shitload of people who are needed to do what work is left. And I do not see how that fight resolves itself especially with the Epstein class egging both sides on

But it won't save your retirement money.

Patrick Boyle over on YouTube has a good video on it. SpaceX's IPO is a scam to loot your 401k.

This is a distraction from the largest heist in human history

If the CEOs listened to the engineers and built a proper break wall and had off-site generators.

Which cost money.

Money the CEOs wanted in their pockets.

It doesn't matter what the safety issues are. Nuclear always has them. They cost a ton of money to mitigate. CEOs want that money and they will get it at your expense
