and radio ads that claim such should be sued to Pluto.

There was a tech slump around 1983 due to the video game crash, and again in 1992 due to mass "Glasnost" aerospace layoffs. There probably would have been one around 2009, but mobile devices were booming, taking up the slack.

Save up, the "business cycle" ain't going away.

I mean you are cherry-picking experts' opinions of that time after you know the outcome. Let's say there were 100 experts with an opinion back then. Let's say 20 predicted it was not transitory. You now quote the 20, pretending the 80 didn't exist. A propaganda trick.

A buffed Darwin Award

AI video technology is still nowhere even remotely near just "click a button and take what it spits out". I don't know how to break this to anyone here, but you're not just going to go to some video generation site and turn out Woodnuts without extensive skill about AI video tools themselves and a wide range of traditional video production tools, and without spending weeks to months and significant financial expense on the project.

Even if / when this changes, video production is still always going to be limited by the human at hand. Most people's movie ideas, plotting, scripting, directing, etc frankly will be terrible. The slop in this case is the human, not the tool.

You are cherry-picking opinions after the fact

So all the well-educated economists just magically ignored that knowledge?

Most probably thought they were talking about a TV series.

Pandemic consumer psychology was poorly mapped at the time.

Hadn't been a world pandemic since 1917, when trade was different.

> when it was obvious to anyone with a brain that [inflation wasn't transitory]

You can't predict the future, don't lie. Factory shutdown decisions in Asia probably had the biggest impact on inflation, and if you are claiming you could read all their minds...

Schools themselves should just have a period of "winter schedule" where they can get the earlier sunrise. It might confuse some, but DST already confuses some. It's better to shift school times than shift everyone's time.

Should have instead installed Win`&*[BONK!]

This is just an Orange Power Grab. Donald doesn't care about efficiency, he cares about control, his control.

NASA and JPL already outsource many services to the private sector. Military aerospace contractors often end up with the contracts, I would note. Putting another layer of privatization is a recipe for grift.

The second link (pharmacyknowhow.com) redirected to an advertisement for "Lust Goddess", which appears to be a lewd video game. I opened the link again and it redirected to a page on Amazon selling a cultured pearl necklace.

On the upside, AI lets anyone make a movie.
On the downside, AI lets anyone make a movie.

Including people who have terrible taste in plot, style, and everything else.

There's some genuinely good stuff out there - Gossip Goblin's work for example. But this is....

I'll just say, there's far better things that one could have spent half a million dollars on...
