Why "we" want insurance executives dead No, that does not mean people should murder them. But if you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.

I see a lot of people talk about the environmental costs of AI. I don't see as much about the human exploitation behind it.

The billionaires want us to spent our lives on a treadmill of exploitation and consumptionβ€”producing a profit for them in the workplace, then buying back the products of our labor in our leisure time so they get us coming and going.

A man looks at another man with an angry-seeming exression and comments "are you... mad at me?" The other mans says "no, I just have naturally arched eyebrows." The first man says "jeez, you don't have to fly off the handle like that." The arched eyebrow man says "but I-" The first man cowers and shouts "don't hurt me! I'll give you whatever you want!"

Color photo of a white man in a dark suit, sitting on a bench on a boardwalk or other outdoor wooden space. He's eating lunch on top of a briefcase and has a sandwich in one hand, but hold up a little tin in his other hand for a shorthaired brown tabby cat that is stretching up to reach the bench next to him. It looks like it could have been a sardine tin or something similar. Overall it looks like this man is on his lunch break from work but also giving a treat to a friendly stray. It looks like there is a large red boat in the background.
