Things like this sound great but all it will do is promote rich people exploiting the numerous loopholes in the American tax code to avoid--still--having to pay a straw penny.

Until the plug the holes, all of the wealth taxes on earth won't result in anything productive. Sadly.

I'm guessing shingles. And having had shingles, it's f***ing miserable.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I can't vote for you but I sure wish you success sir. Give 'em hell!

He's the most visible but he's not the front runner. He's fundamentally unelectable in today's political climate. Dictionary definition of a coastal elite. Won't sell right now. And I think he'd be a GREAT president...but he'll lose a general election to mid-west rooted Vance.

Yeah, I mean, we just don't learn.

Us Democrats are the poutiest, moodiest, self-destructive political group on earth.

The candidate DOES NOT MATTER. I can't be Vance. It's just that simple.

It's not dying...

It's in the final stages of hospice...

Dying was Trump 1.

If we don't get this right in the next two cycles, it could be all over for a very very very long time.

Dems have to stop pouting and start voting.

Furthermore...I am confident assuming an EXTREMELY marginal percentage of CDL drivers don't speak English.

Like...single digit percentage.

This is just more racist horseshit spurned by Miller.

The Administration trying to root out Medicaid fraud isn't the issue. Any responsible Administration should do that.

The issue is they're saying they're rooting out fraud while actually settling a political vendetta...and doing it by cutting services rather than investigating.

Assholes.

He'll announce it during...which means it will happen within hours.

Because he'll be higher than a f***ing jetliner.

If this puppy is 2.5-3 hours long, as advertised, it may be the lowest rated feature film in network television history.

Another tick on Trump's success list.

Of course not.

But it's a tool to add information to your knowledge base. Obviously, again, it's imperfect but it also shouldn't be universally shunned.

I think he's a weasel but it should be Rubio. I know Trump is going to fire up all the toothless idiots who will sit on their sofa in their American flag clad living room cheering the reports of the War with Iran on Fox News...but there is a 0% chance a war with Iran isn't log and ugly.

I did not get it at an online university...odd assumption.

If you have a student who has trouble reading a voluminous amount of information but asks Chat GPT "Why did Washington cross the Delaware" and then ask dozens of follow up questions, it can be helpful. There's no need to totally shun it. Like everything else, use it intelligently.

Enjoy your PHD in Philosophy.

I'm not saying its perfect, but it's a perfectly fine tool.

I also agree, there has to be some basic knowledge.

I finished my MBA in 2016 before AI.

With that said, I think the refusal of academics to embrace the incredible learning advantage that comes with using AI is totally absurd. Chat GPT is like having a conversation with every textbook written on a subject. It makes folks smarter.

Papers? No.

There should be a required 5 day class for all 1st term congresspeople teaching basic congressional civics.

8 hours a day. 40 hours of learning the basics of your new job.

Only major industry that offers ZERO training to even qualified candidates.

If the Real ID is the solution, then there should be pressure put on states by their legislatures to make the process as easy as it is in Arizona and apparently Maryland (per @crk10.bsky.social ). That would probably save millions of otherwise disenfranchised votes.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I got mine online through the Arizona DMV. Took about 5 min.

I'm sure it varies state to state, but here in AZ, it's very easy.
