There’s value to be had in industry experts advising governments. Think about your old ass representative regulating the internet without any advice from people who have actually used the internet. The problem is not that the government converses with industry, it’s that lobbyists bribe politicians under false pretenses. Outlaw the exchange of money, not ideas.

They do pay these debts. That’s exactly what this article is pointing out. We are spending this money on debt rather than something beneficial to citizens. Yes, we print our own money but we still have to pay our debts.

There’s petabytes of free porn on the internet and yet tons of weirdos pay for subscriptions to porn sites. Such is life

Wealthy southerners aren’t immune to trashy behavior. They’re just oblivious to the trashiness.

I’ve never understood why that is such a universally difficult task for children. Usually not so much the physical action but just the attention span required to find them and get them on their feet. They seem to do other similar tasks without much issue but the shoes are a guaranteed slowdown every time.

No but that wasn’t the goal so why would that matter to Trump?

Could be worse. At least you’ve got a computer and some sort of building to put it in.

the dems need to appeal to republican voters

When will this idea die? If anyone is still on the fence about Trump they are a lost cause. I don’t mean that in the internet edgelord sense but a literal one. Stop wasting time on idiots and people happily guzzling propaganda. They will never ever change. Give up on them. They want to physically harm you.

It’s a reasonable distinction in theory but the two should be clearly labeled for what they are. You’re absolutely right that they intentionally don’t do that.

How is using tear gas on protestors fine but throwing it back is felony assault with a deadly weapon?

Dem governors would line up to oppose him.

Do you have any reason other than your own expectations to believe this is true? Looking at their response to him so far I don’t think they would do shit. I don’t think I would have said that two years ago but their spinelessness up to this point is pretty shocking.

Walz hasn’t done much of anything about ICE invading Minnesota and Newsom types his Twitter posts like an idiot now. What else have any of them done?

That only applies to specific opinion shows like Tucker Carlson’s. They have actual news segments that do have requirements to report factual information

This is just a more accessible phone sex line. It tells you what you want to hear and charges you for it.

John Fetterman and Krysten Sinema come to mind. Most self described “liberal” politicians, really.

If we can only comprehend war in economic terms then we have already lost everything that makes a society worth preserving.

I get that we should protect people from obvious danger but part of me struggles with the ridiculous levels of stupidity some of us fall prey to. I don’t know if it’s due to a misplaced sense of justice, cause and effect, or just me being a dick, but I want to let people deal with the consequences of their stupidity on their own. If a computer can convince you not to use your brain then I don’t think you were using it much to begin with.

I think I already provided a pretty succinct list of the things I would expect them to say

Maybe. Either way it’s an insane thing for the POTUS to say. The best case scenario is that he’s so full of shit that he makes other insane politicians seem tame by comparison. That’s not a good place for the US or the world to be, to say nothing of any other possible scenarios.

I’m pretty confident that even the suicidally greedy billionaire class recognizes the fact that nuking a foreign country is bad for business. However, I’ve underestimated their insanity before so maybe I’m wrong

This is a terrible article. I read the whole thing and I have no idea why this happened, what the circumstances were, why there was an apparent call to investigate the company’s involvement, or other basic details about the story. Is this what AI journalism looks like?
