We’ve already kind of seen it with Musk killing tens of thousands in the developing world and nary a peep from all but a handful of folks, because his victims lacked the greatest privilege you can have in the world: being an American.
Fake ass intellectual using a lot of big words to convince people that his own biases are based on facts and reason when it's purely how he doesn't like regulations and foreign aid makes his tummy hurt
oh FFS, yes my neighbor's house was on fire and their children were on the window ledge of the second floor but you see, my wife was so busy trimming the hedges I couldn't possibly stop directing her.
there is NO BALANCING, you can do BOTH, you wife can trim hedges and you can save the kids.
Hammond is right wing libertarian AI shill who likes to pretend his corpo-speak sophistry is indicative of a deep understanding of the human condition, gov't, econ and everything else...basically just another industry lobbyist and deregulation-for-the-broligarchy clown wearing an academia costume.
Nuclear draw down? Since when? Everything 2.0 has done so far has encouraged countries to develop our own nuclear weapons because the USA in shunning allies and giving North Korea a photo op. Even in Cabada we're talking about it.
"Freeloading" was really US non-proliferation policy.
I feel confident that a full consequentialist analysis would find that running this guy through a wood chipper would be a net positive for world peace and reducing collective psychological stress.
The absolute article of FAITH on the part of libertarians that "innovation" follows deregulation.
They take it for granted that there are dozens of guys sitting around JUST ABOUT to invent antigravity and sex robots, but they won't because there might be slightly more paperwork.
Yes, immediate and certain life saving treatments must be weighed equally against the pristine record of this administration to accomplish a bunch of what-if scenarios.
I need context here. Did someone tell a LLM to "do some whataboutism, but do it as a Libertarian incel who just bought their first thesaurus?" or is this a real person, because if so, he needs to either get off the drugs or take a lot more of them.
TechBroGPT is this, but it takes ayahuasca and starts rambling on about "getting 1% better every single day" and "becoming a 10Xer" and will become sentient once someone finds a way to put it into a company-logoed Patagonia vest. Hoping someone drops it into Mount Doom before that happens.
"compounding benefits from the growth and innovation unlocked by comprehensive deregulation."
This is a preposterous thing to say for several reasons, perhaps the most glaring is the assumption that there is anything "comprehensive" about the admin's slash and burn deregulation campaign.
The thing I loath about them is their pathetic weakness, their cowardice and weakness they wrap around with play time masculinity, as if eating red meat and insulting women is the measure of a man, pathetic little boys are running our country and surrendering to anyone who looks at them, disgusting.
Sophistry (aka Bullsh*t). If we are not there our enemies WILL BE. As for a NUKE draw down it will make the European RAMP UP more significant. We need the Europeans to destroy Russia.
Regulation is written in the blood of innocents. You don't like regulation? Remove the safety glass from your vehicle. Show Washington that they ain't the boss of you!
US hegemony is so monstrous it is worth sacrificing hundreds of thousands, even millions, to destroy. US hegemony is so fragile that turning off PEPFAR will kill it.
A peace agreement which massively rewards Russia for invading their neighbor also obviously creates game-theoretic incentives which lead to far more death and destruction in the long-run.
Hammond knows this, he's just choosing not to talk about it because he is a fascist Trump suck.
Ah, but it will embolden the United States to attempt to annex Canada, which would lead to it being mired in intractable guerrilla conflict, which would diminish its capacity to project power elsewhere, a net positive.
Per PEPFAR counter’s calculation, which is based on taking the death toll from a 6 month pause in AIDS relief, then cutting it in half for 90 days and then accounting for the fact PEPFAR is 47% of AIDS relief, then assuming they are uniform throughout the year and calculating 1/12 for the month.
It’s an average, and deaths per day increase for infectious diseases as they’re untreated, so since it’s early the average is probably an overestimate, but towards the end of the period it will be an underestimate. But also it’s just PEPFAR in Africa; add elsewhere and it’s probably hit 5 digits.
Also from that Bulwark article, defunding water supplies in the Congo for a quarter million people. There will have to be a second Nuremberg for these "people." Anything less is insufficient.

All people wanted were $2.99 eggs again.
I can't read this.
