The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.

It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.

In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.

I’m a lot closer to being an expert than most people and that’s a war crime.

Why? Isn’t that the easiest lowest hanging fruit possible?

If I’m a politician and I’m putting tariffs in place, the one place getting annihilated by a 1,000% tariff is the place I’ve already sanctioned into the ground. Is that performative? Maybe. Would it prevent headlines like this? Yep.

Makes you wonder what’s going on in the swamp.

They still only have 20 percent of the country. After years. At this rate they will run out of people before Ukraine runs out of territory.

Europe has 450 million people. It will be easier for them than Russia with 146 million people. Stop spreading FUD.

As we all know, repeatedly drafting several divisions worth of men is a sign you’re winning the war…

Yeah. I’m not disagreeing with that. I’m just mad.

Yeah? And if you’re wrong we’re fucked. To be clear it’s not that you or I could do anything about it. We’re just either fucked or going to have the world’s biggest laugh at the Russians.

Nuclear exchange. Yeah it’s possible they nukes were maintained about as well as their tanks. It’s also possible that we’re entirely fucked.

Unfortunately most people are not going to put their life on the line for you. For reference the advice to women being violently raped is to remain quiet and pee on their attacker or yell fire. Because people do not respond to the words help or rape.

So we start a movement by asking people to do something less, be a witness. Don’t let them just disappear people.

You are assuming those are actually police officers.

That’s kind of a hollywood thing. It can certainly happen but an unsecured person in a van is a nightmare to deal with.

They didn’t have badges out at first and they didn’t show any ID. This is absolutely a situation you could legally draw a gun and start shooting at people. Police should be in uniform and showing ID. This is how militias in “bad” countries abduct and kill people. There’s no way to tell them from the police. This is not normal in a western democracy.

If you see this start filming and get them to shout their name. This is not how an arrest is done in a normal country. This is how you disappear people and how militias can fake being police to abduct and kill people.

Thanks I hate it.

In other news politicians continue to be confused as to why people are angry…

Well shit. Time to rip my own files because their migration stuff is going to be all Microsoft proprietary.

If Congress actually removed the guy they could easily get the military to enforce it.
