Fascinated by these commercials for AI where some young ambitious things gets AI to slop out a presentation or something mere minutes before rocking up to a meeting. Are there actually businesses where it wouldn't be immediately apparent to all competent people?

California NIMBYs oppose a bill that legalizes denser housing near transit because it “discriminates against disabled people”… I wish I was making this up if you live in California, call or email your state senator in support of SB79 because building more housing near transit is good, actually

As a heads up for the political left, people can probably be persuaded by some (many, even) left-coded answers to reducing crime. But if you make it a choice between "crime is fine, actually, get over it" and right-wing solutions, well, even Duterte would win.
