The Ford government spent $111.9 million of our money in one year on advertising promoting the Ford government so I feel like we’d better not see Doug or any of his cabal doing photo opps at food banks this Christmas telling us how much need there is.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

So instead of generating revenue from charging speeders, we’re gonna spend $210,000,000 on speed humps that don’t work and will end up costing double and screwing up traffic with construction. No one wants this. Who is behind it? Someone please investigate. #dofomustgo

Great quick read from Robert Reich
Trump is a monster. He is an aspiring dictator who wants to wield the same power as a Stalin or Hitler, and he wants to be remembered through statues, stadiums and ballrooms.
He should be remembered as both a liar and traitor
