FUCK SMILLER: watch Sinatra attack bigots & stand up for immigrants in Albert Maltz's #TheHouseILiveIn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhPw....

Sinatra was not just a son of immigrants, but STOOD UP for others. And Frank *hated* men like SM & would've called him "one of these Nazi werewolves." 🗃️

Sanders' logic is straightforward: current US tax policy subsidizes AI and other automation. His proposal lengthens depreciation schedules for "automation capital" that demonstrably reduces full-time employment. Revenue would flow to an "Automation Dividend Fund" for large-scale worker retraining.

White political authoritarianism like US has now, is one where the right wing state protects the increasing AI and other automated profits of the elite capitalistic few against the desperate demands of the many, including those recently college educated!

They will blaming immigrants or "woke" education institutions for structural unemployment, deploying militarized police powers to quell inevitable unrest of white collar "cognitive precariat." This path leads not to a free market, but to a technologically advanced form of authoritarianism.

Historically, overproduction of worker elite without corresponding employment roles is primary driver of political instability/revolution. In this case our rt-wing administration will likely pivot not to economic support but to scapegoating & repression.

If Trump administration & allies reject AI "robot taxes" as anti-business &refuse to expand welfare for job displaced, we'll witness dangerous paradox: rapidly growing class of well-educated and downwardly mobile citizens locked out of economy by the very AI technologies they were trained to use.

Next 10+years will see by more job recomposition rather replacement. Sharpest prediction is not "mass unemployment," but protracted job allocation crisis: over who captures the time saved by AI and who bears the cost of the transition. This is fundamentally a question of power, not just technology.

The AI "explosion" we are witnessing is not mere product release cycle but fundamental retooling of economy's cognitive infrastructure. Moving from era of discrete tools—word processors, spreadsheets—to era of probabilistic reasoning layers mediating how knowledge is retrieved, synthesized, applied.

Vance defended the administration’s vile immigration policies in a way that fundamentally degraded his own family: people he is bound by vows—which should be sacred to a Christian—to love and protect.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
