Oh, yeah, that won’t be a problem at all. You want MAGA deciding who gets to have kids, and who doesn’t? What if they determine someone is “underbabied,” and they are ordered to breed? What if someone gets pregnant who isn’t licenced?

They’re not doing it to protect kids.

Get used to it. Disney is going to grind Star Wars into dust.

They all do.

The AI won’t replace labor, automation/robotics will do that. AI will provide the brain to operate the automation properly. We’ve had the automation for a long time, the AI is making the difference.

They are working very hard on the intersection of AI and Automation to replace human labor.

It’s the next step of their indoctrination into corporate wage slaves. They were just convinced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a half-assed degree, and now you have to set them up for the frustration of either having a terrible entry level grunt job, or no job at all.

So you send in a Captain of Industry to encourage them to enthusiastically apply their noses to the grindstone in order to reach their dreams of success.

Except people are starting to catch on to the scam, and are letting them know.

He’s going to have to face consequences, too.

When you go to war with the entire world, you make enemies you don’t even know about.

Luigis story is still at the end of the first act. There is much to be written yet. He will become a highly influential person in American history.

Or:

“Just keep making and selling them more rope, eventually they’ll hang themselves with it.”

Republicans should welcome this. They can pressure Thomas to resign, since he’s old anyway, then appoint a successor before the Midterms. They don’t want to try to shove a MAGA SCOTUS nominee through a Democrat Senate.

But they could recycle, they just don’t. But they could. They just don’t.

But they could.

Don’t forget the Ellisons.

Having people hear about big tech companies unionizing can only help. Unions keep pressure on the companies, and keep them from going too far. Other companies hear about it, and offer up their own reforms voluntarily, hoping it will keep the workers from unionizing. Either way, unions work for EVERYBODY.

Unionize Everything!

Years ago, my wife took a job as the lone secretary to a lawyer with a high volume of paperwork, permit applications, etc. The previous secretary, who had retired, didn’t like the computer, and just typed everything by hand.

My wife automated all the forms so she could jump from field to field, and get the paperwork done much faster. So fast in fact, that he decided not to hire the second secretary, and just dump it all on my wife. Then he turned out to be an absolute monster in so many ways that my wife just up and quit one day, which was fine with me.

But she had never told him about her automated forms that she created. He just thought her increased productivity was due to using the computer. So she told me that she made those forms to help herself, not him, and dumped all of them before she left, and he never knew.

Yeah, you’re right, they’d be better off without an extra $400k. Let the rich guys keep it. /S

It’s not fair! The poor get all the breaks!

It’s about time! I remember Ticketmaster going through the Congressional Dog & Pony show 20 years ago, or so, and as usual with those things, after all the bloviating is over, NOTHING changes. They figured they got through it, and now they can exploit to their greedy black heart’s content.

Then Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour happened, and every politician’s wife & daughter wanted tickets, and they found out first hand a) how hard it is to get tickets, and b) how ridiculously expensive they are. With their households in an uproar, they turned their anger and frustrations toward Ticketmaster, or Live Nation, or whatever alias they’re criming under these days, and now it has led to their demise.

This is the Free Market at work. They got so greedy, that eventually they pissed off the people they counted on to protect them. Good, they deserve it, they are one of the most ruthlessly exploitive companies in existence, along with tobacco and gambling companies.

So what’s up with the 17 states that didn’t get on board? They’re perfectly comfortable with Ticketmaster fucking over their citizens?
