Saw this on Yahoo finance but a very good idea. What does War department do? Advances the imperial interests of America's oligarchs though wars of choice. So who should pay for that? Yes the oligarchs should. So the war department gets completely funded by a tax on your net worth whether realized or unrealized (held in stocks), now that's what I'd call a fair tax.

How did I know trump would not only see but implement my comment?

Look at Cuba, for years burning oil until Trump said no more oil for you https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/18..., and also said no more airline flights for your doctors going abroad to help people: https://www.aljazeera.com/news.... So Cuba is now turning fully to renewables: https://www.theguardian.com/gl... The US just needs to sanction oil for every other country as well

but look on the bright side, if Cuba can do it so can you! Solidaridad con Cuba!

Can you spot a trend? Even if your experience shows AI lacking now let's look at where it was at 3 years ago: zero. So in three years it went from 'zero' to 'useful sometimes/as good as recent graduate' and this is the worst it will ever be. If that trend continues at pace you are out of a job in three years. Things slowing down you say? The breakthroughs they keep a coming in software, like increased memory efficiency: https://techcrunch.com/2026/03... and hardware like Rubin rack computing units: https://www.tomshardware.com/t...

Now here is the grand problem: you need to spot your jobs are going away to change how you vote BEFORE your jobs actually go away, and if you can't do that the average joe surely can't either

in Strange New Worlds where Lt. Kirk shows up quite often. They are not trying to imitate Shatner's style (except here https://www.reddit.com/r/telev... ) but still wonder what Shatner thinks of the portrayal.

which was posed by a student at Geogetown University:

I was just wondering, have you seen the movie Wall-E? Because I feel like, as you've been saying with AI and all the potential benefits, uh why does it not make sense for us to invest all of our money, all of our time into developing really, really powerful super AIs so that they can just take care of all of our problems and in the future we don't have to like worry about things like working and jobs?

Get the answer to this question here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Power - solar with no night downtime
Launch cost - irrelevant xAI now part of SpaceX
latency comparable or reduces compared to other AI datacenters - up to Starlink/Datacenter then down with no other connection needed
Same setup works for moon and Mars

Romance and business share a lot in common and you are like Magaldi in Evita, here's the scene on youtube sorry about the low res: https://youtu.be/4sa9oMej5B8?s...

Given their stand against the Department of War, Anthropic are the Good Guys among the big LLM providers (esp with Ilya Sutskever still in stealth mode). And since the War Department is trying to squash them - supply chain risk - they don't really need any other distractions. You're kicking them while they are down.

Rozhavsky, the FBI assistant director. "They could never pull this off if they didn't have willing facilitators in the U.S. helping them...."
I dunno, maybe they want to earn some money so they can eat and pay medical bills?

This is exactly what Bernie Sanders has been calling for in many many videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Berni...
just one problem, Trump will send exactly $0 of that money to the working class.
BTW Andrew Yang was just on Moonshots with Peter Diamandis: the AI Era, Solving Job Loss, and the 2028 Scenario https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

If you are an optimist, The Culture offers a clear vision of where we as a society could head, read the books, here is a short summary online: The Culture War: Iain M. Banks’s Billionaire Fans Why Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos love Iain M. Banks’ anarcho-communist space opera. https://bloodknife.com/culture...
Video summary of The Culture, slow start gets better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Think more along the lines of Europe esp Nordic ones. Americans have been conditioned by the media, which is owned by billionaires, to knee jerk rejections of just the word socialist or communist. Look at AI right now, no denying it is already taking over some jobs and it is still improving day by day. Even at a very minimal guess of 20% of jobs are taken what is the capitalist solution? Nothing, they avoid talking about it, ignore it, they'll just let it happen and tough luck for those out of work.

With the right government, a socialist oriented government, that would use the benefits of AI to help the people. The US does not have that government as eloquently noted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
You can help change this situation in November

This is actually a good question in my opinion. Most people agree CO2 needs to be reduced but why hasn't it? That is what needs to be studied now. Also climate studies are laughable while Trump is in office - absolutely nothing will be done in the US while he remains in office, so we again ask our selves: how did he get elected?
