yes, true, but I was wondering how many of the workers would simply get fired for letting AI merge spreadsheets and then no one proof reads or checks the work.

Well it's only been 3 years, 11 months and two weeks since I have thought about curling. Time to get bloodlust boiling about those foreign basterds from ----(checks notes)---

remember when we found out the Catholic Church was just a child rape organization. And no one left the pews. Same with MAGA. It will be a bad day when Evangelicals, MAGA and Catholics all realize their common depravity and join forces against humanity.

"You must create an account to redeem fee article"

I wish there was a "Coin Slot" like a pay pal type service where we could pay maybe 50 cents to access the article. Like in the old days newsstand buy a paper with no need to subscribe. Throw down a coin, get the news. The papers will profit

The guy was a genius, no doubt. But did he hide the message? 2001 sure. But EWS I really don't think had a subtext. It wasn't an allegory. Sort of like Lolita, hey look at the bad things people do.

I imagine the Olympic band might be tempted to play Dixie if the US athletes win.

So Kubrick makes a movie about how the rich do awful things but they have formed social groups to protect each other, and the guy they invited in wasn't a sociopath enough to be in the club, so they locked the gates to him.

Yeah, let's look for a deeper meaningπŸ˜‰

(the Rich are awful people)

"...and we know it works, so next will do the same to the US" he added allegedly.

Being a male in America isn’t easy. Beginning on your 12th birthday you suddenly are competing with Republican Preachers, Presidents, CEOs, business owners, Representatives, Cabinet members, Children’s Church teachers, bankers, Senators, Pastors, Elon Musk, and ICE agents for girls your own age.

Never forget, the FBI took statements from people about where bodies are buried, and did not investigate. Are there no cadaver dogs?

Remember when you had power and the FBI gave you a report on white supremacists in law enforcement and you threw it away and demoted the agents who wrote it. yeah, we won't forget. You had your chance, and squandered it. Too little, too late.

MAGA Christians are Constantine Christians, The blood of the sword, never the blood of the Cross. They worship the power of the Roman Empire, never the power of that Nazarene carpenter.

I prefer the term "climate breakdown".

Change is nice, change might be good.

A breakdown, on the other hand-----

During our Indian wars, the cavalry would kidnap the women and children to force the men to stop fighting. Just sayin'.......

And also the suburban landscape, all roads and sprawl and dispersed, unlike in Europe where the majority still live in cities. Our built environment diminishes our ability to protest. I don't have an answer to that problem.

The Dems failed us by giving us no narrative, no support, no future. Back in '49 Adorno wrote about how liberalism leads to fascism. Schumer is Vichy

That's why the 401 system exists. Very hard to stop buying stock if it is the only retirement option.

Bring back the EE bonds

this sat on FDR's desk. 4 sons, 4 enlisted. FDR took the war, and his position of leadership, seriously. He put skin in the game because he was asking Americans to do the same. Has anyone seen that kind of leadership recently???

Congress needs to call Sec of Defense and Tonic to come to the floor and explain the US heavy lift capabilities for arctic theaters. Do we even have the physical ability to deliver and supply a force large enough to occupy?

If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
