I figured it out. Mitch McConnell's sudden (seeming) resistance isn't a change of heart. It's just a really depressing Quantum Leap episode.

So wait - hold up - lemme get this straight.

AI has been based on extensive amounts of pre-existing data, most of which was obtained without full disclosure and/or permission.

And they accuse DeepSeek? "You are trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen!!!" :: snort ::

Having grown up during HIV's original assault, I have been awed and jubiliant over how medicine has combated this disease. HIV is no longer a horrific death sentence. Because of science and medicine, it's easily managed.

But only with medicine. This should NEVER be politicized.

Health Insurance Claims: Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ v. USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ #healthcare #healthinsurance

Probably preaching to the choir here, but the assumption that our healthcare system is anything but a grand con is the result of insurance company manipulation and propaganda. Most civilized countries do NOT have this problem.

How to Spot U.S. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Propaganda | A Guide for Teaching Media Literacy from German πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Classrooms

I remember when "propaganda" was what we thought bad countries subjected their populace too. Ironically, this was propaganda.

Spoiler alert: If a concept needs emotional manipulation & propaganda to convey? Screw it - it's a lie. Just start there.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.

It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.
