In 2010 we had managed capitalism in America. The political chaos and race to fascism IS the #AI problem. There will not be managed capitalism in America in 2030. In 2030 we'll either have #Socialism or #Fascism. AI has taken away any possibility of our future being managed capitalism.

This hypocrisy is shameful.
- U.S. politicians enjoy universal healthcare.
- Living wages.
- Paid sick leave, too.
But they vote NO for workers on all three.

In this week’s Stop the Presses newsletter, I wrote about how Team Trump acts macho but is really a bunch of insecure man-babies. Hours after I posted, Pete Hegseth proved my point by using an admiral as a human shield to avoid responsibility for war crimes.
