Yes, the level of invention, fiction and fanatacism here hard to put into words. This bill is going to explode the deficit which is a reason Moody’s downgraded. They cannot admit to the clear “sky is blue” reality of what they are doing.

I think it’s kind of interesting that so many cultural and political elites decided “learning loss” from remote schooling during a pandemic was so severe it was worth ignoring medical safety, while actual learning loss from AI is pervasive and growing and they all want to impose more of it on us.

These sorts of ppl really are freaks. Imagine going up to a renter & being like "you're homeless actually" & thinking thats a good way to get them on your side.
