100 billion dollars spent, killing thousands including kids and our own troops, jacking up our prices and inflation at home, depleting our missile stock pile, and causing economic pain on the whole world to get back to a lesser agreement than the Iran Nuclear deal that already existed before Trump pulled us out of it. All this pain to assuage the hurt ego of a racist billionaire man baby. Fuck Trump.
It should be 100% tax after an amount is reached - lets say 1 billion. At that level your quality life could not be improved by more money. Anything over that is just used to buy influence and corrupt and it’s hurting society. It’s running up the score on a game you already “won.” All money after that should be your contribution to the society that created your wealth. They can put the extra money you were taxed to help society on a big score board so you can feel special and thumb your nose at your billion dollar club buddies.
Yeah they do realize. That’s why the billionaires are all building bunkers. Also the Trump admin gave 40 billion to stabilize Argentina where Milei is creating the conditions for AI corporations and the ultra rich’s network state wet dreams. The whole move is to strip mine American wealth till the bottom falls out. They come out of it rich beyond reason and we get left with the austerity.

Typical fragile ego response from a man-child wanting so desperately to be the victim. Maybe people just don’t want another fucking reality TV star in office. Electing people to higher level positions in government with no experience at all in government rarely works out well. Same reason you don’t typically hire a mailroom clerk to be the CEO.
Duh, this rigged economy keeps the rich getting richer and fucking over the majority. A raised price is little consequence to them - it’s a luxury item. Fuck capitalism.
Always refuse the field test and force them to use the one at the station - then your lawyer should ask for calibration records if you blow above - if these aren’t up to date (which isn’t uncommon) - the results could get thrown out. Don’t admit to shit. Never volunteer info to the police - keep your mouth shut.
Lots of places still pushing forward against people’s wishes though. Construction is real easy to interrupt though and these over leveraged companies can’t afford the delays. It’d be real easy to derail this shit if people start acting.
Ocean water is far more abundant than fresh drinking water. If they have to build them and they need water to cool them this seems better. Although definitely potential for issues like hurricanes / storms and environmental impact for starters. They seem desperate to roll out AI as fast as possible, consequences be damned, so they better start thinking outside the box. This technology isn’t more important than freshwater for life to survive.
Trump really wants in the history books - this classless, corrupt, grimy event will likely wind up there - not in the way he wants though
They already are. And paypal, stripe, etc. They are all in an “arms race” to become the preferred AI shopping payment system.
Add Elon Musk himself and any other billionaires as targets too please.
They are so shocked that no one likes their fucking AI or their data centers. Yet the same people go around selling every investor on AI replacing workers. The same people go out of their way to cut every social safety net so they can get tax breaks to make themselves more obscenely rich. The same people raise prices, drive down wages, cut benefits, lay off people, and bust unions every chance they get to juice stock prices.
Gee golly, why don’t people trust us that we are making a better world? 🤦♂️
True that - Elon is just the most glaring example.
I not only read the article, I read other publications on the subject. Visa gave ChatGPT access to the core security and transaction infrastructure of VisaNet itself. They say “the integration is designed with a layered, security-first approach where the AI agent never sees or stores a user’s raw credit card number.” I am very weary of this integration level because AI agent security is shit. Visa or any CC company could opt in all accounts to the program by default in their backend so anyone who links their Chat GPT account can seamlessly activate the features from Chat GPT’s side. What is stopping bad actors from opening Chat GPT accounts, stating to the AI agent they are me from one of a million data breaches, and tricking the AI agent to activating the Chat GPT credit integration for their Chat GPT account? Sure, they don’t get the credit card number but it’s still charging me. Scammers are already tricking AI agents to take over accounts from many other sites. I am not happy about the sloppy security protocols implemented by rushed AI integration and the way Visa is integrating this feature so deeply has me concerned - especially with so many companies doing auto opt-ins. The feature idea doesn’t seem awful if people want to use it. I just don’t want the ability to charge my credit card exposed to Chat GPT and from what I read I’m not convinced it isn’t. These companies are rolling out AI features too quickly to appease share holders itchy for returns and they aren’t being careful enough with security guard rails. I don’t want to spend my free time fighting charges I didn’t make.
He is as overvalued as his companies. The stock markets speculation and juicing of stock prices on hype is so obscene. Space X lost billions last year. Its road map to profitability is dependent on tech that doesn’t exist yet and government contracts from an over leveraged government and a right wing party rapidly losing favor. Tesla is wildly overvalued as well. He is a hype machine with little substance and his wealth is very tied to that hype. Fuck Elon.

Billionaires will keep doing whatever they want as long as they never face consequences. Seems like the people are going to have to take inflicting consequences into our own hands.
Yet no consequences for Americans implicated in the Epstein files.
Because he knows he only got elected by parroting a right wing version of populist politics popularized by Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. He can win against the establishment candidates, but fails against progressives head to head and he knows it.
