Saw this one also. It’s very hit and miss. Don’t think it’s worth posting around.

Public roads are owned collectively. Libs can go eat shit.

The basic strategy is to always avoid the privatization of public assets. The bigger the asset, the more important it is to remain under public control, especially infrastructure e.g.: Roads, trains, ports, schools, hospitals, power etc.

We will see the same shit as 2008: Those rich people getting the fresh dollars leads to asset prices going even higher. I think it’s already happening a bit now. And the US rich don’t invest in companies that employ a lot of people any more.

I think the Fed will print more dollars like crazy because they don’t want to stop the economy train. The AI bubble will be bailed out like the banks were bailed out in 2008.

Except American leadership never admits defeat. It takes the NEXT leader who replaces the original to actually reverse the stupid decisions made. In recent conflicts it has taken a number of iterations of leadership change before America has begrudgingly retreated and pulled their forces out, regardless of the costs. (See Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc etc)

The idea that Trump, of all people, will weigh the costs and rationally decide to make logical choices now is super optimistic to put it lightly.

“If class is abolished in communism and the people are taken care of, why would anyone work at all? Who is going to work in coffee shops, pick up trash, work in stores etc.? What would be the incentive for people to do anything productive?”

Work still needs to happen. This takes coordination and organisation. Production is still required but people won’t live in a class based society.

The modern world produces way more complicated things than a cup of coffee. People are still going to own personal possessions under communism. They just aren’t going to be able to charge someone else rent to use their stuff.

Skill issue. Don’t blame the tools!

“China’s Orwellian Social Credit Score Isn’t Real” Foreign Policy 2018 https://archive.md/rVfyr

Basically it’s a myth created from a lot of crossed wires, combining different China news items about data collection to create a boogeyman.

Everyone should just give up on america at this point. Its a rotten place that wont reform for the good.

That’s the difference between reform and revolution. There are no big reforms coming. The country has been glazing itself for too long. Only when shit gets bad enough, then a revolution can occur.

If there is a socialist movement that can take advantage of the conditions, it can progress towards socialism.

No you see the Trunp logic sequence is:

• no bad news, only good. A friend of a friend said Iran are so compliant right now.
• Trump team provides accurate reports in the form of short videos with just big explosions over and over
• Congress should sign over $200B for no reason. It’s just play money. Trump doesn’t need it. What for? US is transportating thousands of troops to the region just to party. But give it anyway.
• Iran are begging for a deal but Trump said “No thanks! Keep the Strait of Hormuz closed! It’s so great for my inflation numbers and debt numbers and doesn’t hurt me in the polls at all.”

“I had to take a shit” - Claude

AI won’t be stopped any more than the printing press and the internet before it. The machines aren’t the enemy. The owners are.

There’s a hype machine that is trying to shoehorn AI into places where it isn’t mature enough currently. Which is why the rush to market is a problem.

The owners of the machine think the machine can do more than it is capable of. This leads to the enshittification of the product. It is the customer that suffers.

In terms of art content, there’s already a tonne of it. WAY MORE than audiences even want to consume. If anything, AI is pouring more shit into an overflowing cup.

The machine has been abused because the owner doesn’t understand where the value resides.

In the meantime it’s burning a lot of fossil fuels to make shit.
