22.10.2025 09:10 β π 17 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0It's now widely acknowledged that AI investment has created a bubble. Investors continue investing, confident that govts/central banks will intervene to stop the worst of the damage, as in 2008. That's probably true. Meanwhile, these same govts say there's no money for public services.

Iβm back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:
1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they donβt work, you do not want that system for you.
Christian Zionists are pouring billions of dollars into Israeli extremismβand in the process, have become Israel's most important American allies.

Years of nothing to do all day, cooking in the bathroom, dodging racists to get the kids to school, huge sums spent on taxis because the govt won't pay for buses or trains. Nothing like the luxury hotels the right talks about.
