Comment Real world similarity on the data side (Score 1) 22

I worked with a sociopath I'll call "Bill" who we strongly suspect deleted and sabotaged many things. Mayhem had a long history of following Bill, as we asked former colleagues to make sure we were not losing our minds. We learned to back-up and document stuff like crazy to work around it. Bill seemed to have a lot of experience covering his tracks, such as knowing which systems didn't keep logs.

Comment Stupid distraction. Focus. (Score 1) 14

There are too many companies vying for the auto-drive business already. It's a long learning curve with the potential for glorious PR disasters. Ya don't want to go there.

Maybe Rivian are afraid China is commoditizing EV's such that they have to find a value-added niche or die.

Couldn't shareholders sue their pants off for such a lie...if caught? Enough companies seem to be hiding slumps behind AI bs that the first successful legal team will have to skill to quickly slap the others.

Wells Fargo has been losing sales for a while now because their ghost-service-add-on scam gave them a bad reputation.

Comment The left is about 2% and basic income is a scam (Score 0) 25

If you pay attention to who's pushing basic income it's a handful of extremely wealthy people with connections to billionaires. The goal of basic income is to replace all other forms of civilization and society with a blank check so that you can blame people when they are completely crushed by the systems in place. Monopolies alone make basic income pointless since they will just suck up the money.

American farmers are extremely well off. They are no small farms left. If you see something that looks like a small farm odds are it's just somebody's tax Dodge. We had decades of running small farmers out of business that process is basically over. The people who are left love Trump as long as he cuts them those checks you're talking about. Those big farmers want cheap labor or better yet slave labor and they want zero environmental regulations and Trump will give them both of those things.

As for direct health insurance payments the health insurance industry sucks up half a trillion dollars a year and private equity is buying up all the hospitals and doctors offices. You can't just cut people checks in it that environment just like you can't just cut basic income checks when you have monopolies.

Everything you're suggesting is bullshit put forward either to benefit Rich assholes or by Rich assholes who want to make you think there's an easy patch or fix to keep the system going so you don't have to think about any actual changes.

It's not your fault that's just how our media works but it's not a solution it's a scam

Comment Buddy of mine drives a school bus (Score 0) 25

It's real annoyed when idiots pull in front of him because it takes him 3 football fields to come to a stop.

The economy is like that. Capitalism is like that. It's a big fucking thing that takes a long time to come to a stop. And you just pulled out in front of it. And your little Geo Metro...

Now my buddy is smart and he knows how to drive around idiots. But we didn't put smart people that the wheel in this economy we put the dumbest motherfuckers we could find for the dumbest motherfucker reasons we could come up with.

So when the economy needs to stop and can't because you're dumb ass pulled out in front of it it's going to go right through you.

Unfortunately this is where the analogy breaks down because it's not just your little car being splattered you're taking all of us with it
