What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Founder of an AI-powered shopping startup, Nate, has been charged with fraud by the DOJ.
It turns out the AI was just poorly paid workers in the Philippines and Romania. I doubt this is the only startup whose “AI” is actually a poorly paid human in the loop.

A tech CEO has been charged with fraud for saying his e-commerce startup was powered by AI, when it was actually just using manual human labor

I went go karting tonight and in the process lost my Ute key, so had to Uber home, but my house keys were in the Ute. So I had to break in, and smashed a few pot plants, then Uber back with the spare key, nearly spun my Ute in the wet, now back home and the spare key does not have a fuel cap key!
