Other, better people have said this before.

Gotta sue for those, this is just charges being dropped.

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000

It usually doesn’t, but also you have to take entities to court to test that. Most people don’t bother (yay capitalism! Where you can do openly illegal shit so long as no one can afford to tell you no!)

No. It is super illegal but didn’t you know that as long as you tape a sign that says “digital” or equivalent on an illegal thing, is suddenly a new thing and can’t be handled with the current rules. Everyone knows that! It’s why we have illegal taxis, hotels, and spy networks all in the palm of your hand. Isn’t the future great?

Don’t care, man. Facebook made me hate the whole concept of selling my friends and family to a corpo syndicate in order to… communicate with them. I can text, man.

Which is the goal. Low trust societies are easier (initially) to control

Yes, and when the models change, you won’t be able to detect shit. Meaning you’ll be accusing actual artists if you aren’t careful. This shit is changing, and fast. Don’t be complacent

Yes, but then none of the parasites rich kids would pass, so we can’t have that. Don’t you know this is their world?

Billionaires run America. Why would his politics not be news?

(Gods, I wish this was sarcasm)

To clarify, I was speaking of the immediate economic fallout. I partially agree on the “party holding the hot potato losses elections when it goes off” but wasn’t the angle I was talking in

Best case scenario is a slow bleed until a Fed chair from the next admin is appointed, and they’re a strong Keynesian or better. Worst case is the crash coming at any point during this admin (including election fuckery, preventing transition of power). That’ll be the whole house of cards.

This fuck is an antisemite and should be banned from the instance

It is fraud. It’s another instance of “this technology is too different, it surely can’t be judged by the rules we already have” type of rule-breaking

Uber and Lyft’s illegal taxis

The internet’s illegal spying

AI’s illegal theft and redistribution of IP

Include SUVs in your computation and rerun the numbers. Yes, the big fuck off trucks are still a minority, but they push everything bigger the bigger they get. And bigger is the only thing they’re getting.

I drive a MINI, bought it in 2018. Then, I was comfortably in the majority of car sizes (new minis are comfortable hatchbacks). Now, there’s maybe 10% of cars that I’m comparable to, everything else has windows with bottoms that are at or above my roofline.

Frontovers is the highest growing category of accident. They’re happening because people can’t see small children over the hood of their emotional support freedom truck, orphan crushing model.

Yes, cell phones but mostly lack of visibility.

Nah, they’re addicted to being first and everyone’s running this race so you gotta race faster than them. They know a collapse is coming, but those only affect poors and the collapse will make subsequent investing much cheaper.

If you’re thinking about consequences, you’re not doing capitalism well enough to be on top anyways.

Yes, I do. I’m living it, man

Yeah, man. Jobs now require you to use them and health insurance is predicated on you having a job. Yet again, the American oligarchs can force their way, regardless of what we want.

This is a complete misread of what this means. Drones are used to kill people, not other drones. Drones are last priority targets in basically all cases except for strategic defensive positions. This switch means more death at the hands of less (or no) people. It’s like arguing that nukes are good because they’re so destructive that they’ll end war. Which is the opposite of what they did, wars just became proxy wars in an attempt to drain your adversary of resources, instead of direct conflict to stop them. We have more international conflict now than at any point in human history. This will make that even worse.
