You can't say we weren't warned.
Jack Kirby story from 1959 ("I Fought the Colossus," Strange Tales # 72) predicts AI would be developed by 2020 and that one major fear would be that it would start giving the wrong answers to questions and "wreck civilization." Gotta love the 1950s giant mainframes.

If all the people..."could work collectively" to get a good deal on healthcare...that's what you'd call Single Payer.

and full stupid, the idea that people aren't working to get $200 a month in food stamps. Trump steals that much every minute of every day.
Trump in full Marie Antoinette mode on Ingraham tonight.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

"Lying Spree" shows quite a bit of improvement on the Trump Headline front.
“.. Grocery prices. Gas prices. Prescription drug prices. Overall prices. Over just three days, Trump made false claims about all of them.
“.. As of September, the year-over-year inflation rate had increased for five consecutive months.”

Hey so Michael Burry (the dude Christian Bale plays in The Big Short) just took out a billion dollar short bet against a few HUGE Ai companies…………

Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."
