The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

Sure, AI may be able to do more of your shopping, but it can't do any of your consumption, and since 70% of our economy is driven by consumer demand I'm not sure how an economy in which AI eliminates tens of millions of jobs is supposed to work.
AI can do more of your shopping this holiday season
But many of the AI tools are still experimental and unproven. Some consumers said the chatbots failed to provide enough brands or types of products in their conversations.
