I'd rather not.
40+ years later still nailing it. I remember watching the original Spitting Image show (which influenced the Genesis music video for land of confusion) as a small child in the 1980s. I suppose it influenced my view of political figures through the lense of satire.

Try to have reasonable expectations of people's behavior based on past experience. I hate all of this as well, but I'm not surprised by it.

If one were planning a false flag attack what are the conditions that would have to be present to clear the way for another Pearl Harbor event needed to get the U.S. behind another endless war? Who wrecks their own system before military action?

If you are cutting taxes for the corporations, day trading firms and wealthy people and it has been justified by job creation then explain this. All I have seen is slashing the work force. Hey, if everyone gets fired who is buying the things you produce?

You cannot tell me the system is failing this 80 year old man who is bagging groceries to pay for the medical bills of his late wife. Cut taxes for the rich and make this guy bag groceries until he dies, seems backwards.

How much involvement did the CEOs of AI companies have in developing the AI? Probably minimal I'd guess and they plan to replace all the people that got them where they are with the very thing they helped create. They are just investors that had a head start and the money to buy talent for peanuts.

I wish this was a factor but I think the people debating the issue are pretty clear; they don't care if you're happy. In fact if you're happy they assume you aren't working hard enough. For some reason are trying to push a make sociopathy great again era. Lame.

Why save money just to set it on fire to make a giant display of force. Nobody thinks this is efficient, valuable, and certainly not good stewardship of the tax dollars. Look at the people suffering from budget cuts while you fly to the sun on wax wings.

This is a red flag to me, this wasn't even a concern during my 21 years in the Army. What this says is that Soldiers (who train as they fight) are expecting to be in situations where they are trying to move undetected in an environment where they are going to have to avoid surveillance from the air.

Do all the versions of you still live in your head, or does your brain just have a rolling update to the one version of you? I think we are the former 😉.

Rest in Peace Democracy I wish I would have gotten to know you better. You may have been flawed but we loved you all the same. We didn't take care of you the way we should have. I wish we would have been better about protecting you from those that would abuse and sully your name. We will miss you.

I'm telling you this, in the field of public health, it's largely thankless. People only tend to notice prevention when it becomes reaction.

I'm seeing ads for AI job search and auto apply. I'm also seeing AI powered recruiting tools. So is AI going to decide who works where? How long before it is a reality that an AI sorting hat will make these decisions for everyone?
