I was talking about supporters of AI, not supporters of UBI. The likes of elon musk, peter thiel, jeff bezos, etc - the billionaires. They are dismantling social programs and deploying exploitative business models. And, I think it was amazon that used AI for layoffs with zero human involvement.

When you trace the causal thread far enough, it comes down to capitalism. AI has lots of great potential uses, but, sadly, short-term profits are the name of the game.
It also doesn't help that the biggest AI advocates (the ones that have actual power) are also opponents of social programs and UBI.

I think it would require third places ("hangout spots") that are easily accessible and let all kinds of people mix, which is an urban planning thing, as well as the ideas you mentioned.

Might be grounds for a military operation.
Tho, if that sociopath bukele knows the expenses of the operation, then he can just slightly undercut them and whatever capitalist is in charge at that moment will just take the "good deal".
If that happens, it will be a sign that USA has learned nothing.

Realistically, these suits are the ones that control the AI replacement, and they sure won't rush to replace themselves...
in other words, competition for thee but not for me.
oh and these folks typically are also opposed to UBI, because they'll have to actually compete for once...

ICE is a gang.
It is now morally good to shoot badgeless, uniformless supposed ICE agents with covered faces during their kidna-- I mean, "apprehensions".
...honestly, all ICE field agents in general. Start using that goddamn second amendment to actually resist tyranny ffs

Has there been an experiment that's sufficiently large over area and time, to notice any directions of cultural shifts, rather than people feeling better as an immediate consequence of lifted financial burdens and social pressures? I expect that such a trial would require 30+ years, ballpark...

It's a misunderstanding of ecology and evolution, but the conclusion is largely correct, just for different reasons.

Isn't it great to live after the time when getting a job was as easy as walking into an office, before time when UBI is a thing and right on time to be in the limbo when all jobs are being automated and humans need not apply, but you're constantly gaslit about not having a job?
fun times.

Hey Mr Soy Farmer,

Second amendment is not about self-defense or defending against a tyrannical government. It's about boosting egos and murdering children.

If we take reality into account, you're probably not. There's no hate like christian love, after all.
But yeah, if we stick with mere principles, this is likely very common.

Actually, correction
Palantir is using corporate data tracking (those apps that ask for your location, for example) to help ICE track people they've chosen to deport.
who would have thought that the most evil human's (peter thiel) company would turn out to be engaged in the most evil activities...

He might not be the only one, but they will be few and far between. A separate list of "the not quite as despicable ones" should also be made.

I don't know the details, I think he's one of the few billionaires that got lucky, instead of being born as such, and has actually used a significant amount of money to actually help people. But, as I said - no billionaire is completely off limits until democracy works again.

Make a list of net worths and work your way down from the top.
...Bill Gates has donated 90+% to humanitarian goals, AFAIK, so he should get sent to the back of the line when his turn is up. Keep going until democracy is functional again.
No billionaire is exempt, but don't become an animal.

Can we make this happen, please?
Come on, yanks - you've talked all the talk about how you need the second amendment to resist a tyrannical government - now it's time to walk the walk.
Don't worry - investigative agencies are crippled, so organizing it is actually possible now.

From a European perspective, I think the deal in the image sounds reasonable.
Or we can stop pretending that their second amendment was anything besides making their dicks feel bigger.

Biden wasn't running death camps, tRump is.
Leftist vigilantes/coup is 100% justified now, and we need a centralized commitment to pardon those whose humanity has been twisted into a weakness, becoming beasts. The "the right" already did.

Honestly, nothing short of a total defeat of ruzzia will deliver a lasting peace. Mirages in the sky of mosCow, and Leopards touring the yard of kremlin. Anything less is just a stopgap
ruzzia is as weak as it will ever be and the civilized world has an opportunity to remove a global agent of chaos

I'm tagging out at this point. Further conversation can happen on a forum, substack, revolt, discord or whatever platform that allows a proper debate to take place - bluesky or twitter aren't it.

Remember "no taxes on tips"?
Sounds great... but he ran that in tandem with letting employers collect said tips, which is what made tRump's "no taxes on tips" bad, and Harris's "no taxes on tips" good.
tRump is the master of spending 90% of resources on marketing and little on the actual "goods".

Honesty, or relatability?
tRump's good at telling people what they want to hear, and with that, he made ignorant people think they understand politics.
Ignorance is not a crime, but it's not really a virtue, either. He made it into one, and now, US economy is going down like his casinos.

This discussion is reaching a point where the char limit is becoming a problem, and multi-message responses will quickly make a mess. I won't be going much deeper unless we move to a different platform, as this one is not appropriate for the purpose.

It will probably be difficult now to find the statistics that showed that "illegals" are less likely to commit crime than born 'murcians...
75+% of the deported had zero criminal record. Most of those that did, were non-violent.
comment in response to

Her policy? Such as actually enforcing existing anti-price-gouging laws, which the media immediately started falsely calling "price fixing" and "communism"?
what part of tRump's record told you that he'd be literally anything besides a grifter? The casinos he bankrupted?

Well, do you want it to be ok, good or perfect?
Pick a random oled and it will be ok.
Consider your main use case categories in the process, and it will be good.
To make it perfect, you'll have to buy one for each use case.
...extra 10x difficulty if you care about not supporting evil companies.

How does an "illegal" collect these free benefits? Describe the process, please, since you're so intricately familiar with the issue.
And, just to undermine the whole question... even id some folks WERE getting undue benefits - is the solution to deport every brown person, as is being done now?

USA would still be owned by the rich, though I expected Harris
to be a force to oppose that.
However, USA has only one party - the property party, with two right wings - the democrats and the republicans.
Dems cover a wider spectrum, however. Harris was of the the less billionaire-bootlickery.
comment in response to
post
Was that what I said?
You're trying so hard to twist what I said into something I didn't, you could almost run a power plant from it.
What's worse - not deporting an "illegal" (who is probably paying taxes while receiving no benefits), or deporting a legal resident?
comment in response to
post
It doesn't really depend on who wins, but on the state of the states - pretty sure she wouldn't approve kidnapping people off the street or the billionaire takover that's taken place.
Nonetheless, USA had a loooooooong way to go from being the submissive breeding b*tch for the rich either way.
comment in response to

Are you *really* still in a democratic whatever?
the rich have been undermining democracy for decades, by keeping people busy, divided and uneducated. Now, quite a lot is up in the air.

Nope, they are, but apparently restricted to followers
...is it obvious that I don't do this bluesky/twitter thing much, yet? 😂

Well, Bernie and AOC are doing it, but there's barely any coverage in mainstream media.
Also remember - people have to work. You didn't really give a concrete answer as to what this "do more" is, other than to "get others to sell your agenda", which is basically "outsource the more to someone else"

Universal, good-quality healthcare.
Universal, good-quality education.
Affordable, good-quality housing.
Human-centric infrastructure development.
Sustainable technology development.
Responsible management of the environment.
Tax the rich.
Eventually, UBI.
Clear enough for you?

I'm sorry, I asked a question that you failed to answer. Did I articulate the policies clearly enough?
In-depth discussion on the fine details of implementation will likely have to occur somewhere that doesn't have a character limit.
