When it comes down to majority of the big donors aligned with Democrats and progressive establishment simply donβt get what we are up against- and unfortunately the power of money dictates the cowardly behavior in current establishment dominated by grifters and career climbers.

All a waste of time. You can never appease the GOP. So why do Dems keep trying? ARGHGGHG.
I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.
