Yeah, it usually means overstaffed with too expensive workers.

They assume AI is only to get much better and will be able to replace higher expertise levels every year until everybody developer is replaced.


That means they’ll gerrymander that 40% to the top, block votes from as many as they can from the 60% and ICE the people that would decrease that 40% even a bit.


Roman empire fell apart over a few hundred years. USA is speed running this, so it’ll be a tad more stressful.


They tried in Russia and electronic payment terminals, that use a VPN, stopped working.



That’s what people see


That the same for taxes that UBI would depend on. See Panama papers. Corruption and loopholes are an issue in any system.


Yes, there is a need for tariffs, based on worst cause estimates of pollution, for countries not playing along.


Anything but doing UBI, lol.
Yeah, there seems to be a lot of resistance to giving money, replace systems and taxing parts of UBI.
Reworking existing systems seems easier.


They always weasel out of taxes. My idea was to give each person something like carbon coins that works like an emission permit. Give everyone the same amount each month and keep it within nature’s limits. Then, if someone wants to do something polluting like run a datacenter, they’ll just have to purchase the coins for that from the open market from those willing to sell. The end result is still money going to the poor but not as a tax, and hard limit on pollution.


My boss also went hard on no private calls during work time. My colleague immediately switched his work phone off at 5pm sharp because not mixing private and work. Of course soon there was an issue at 5:30pm. It was amazing how that policy got reversed so quickly.


Install grapheneOS on your phone, and their MFA app doesn’t want to run anymore.


It just means they have to write “mistakes” or “performance issues” on the paperwork instead of “replaced by robots”


Private Equity summarized


They’re going to try and buy all the right politicians to remove the competition so you don’t have any choice.
You know how it goes. Fire people and assume AI is better next quarter. If it doesn’t work out, it’s also a problem for next quarter.
