This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Writing expresses who you are. I understand some people struggle with it, but the ability to write well separates strong professionals from mediocre ones. This is why I hate AI writing assist.

I've been a homeowner, landlord, renter, and a homeowner again. Until you know the complexities of a thing you can't understand the simple truths. As a renter, I found it insulting when certain people say I, "don't care about my home".

And I've never treated a home as my primary source of wealth.

Rs should be pro train. Trains (for transit) are a boost to the economy.

What they've told me is it's good to draft code that you have to touch up. Does some simple stuff that you need to edit. I think overall that's the use for AI of any kind.

This is the central problem that must be solved. Apathy, low information, not voting.

The Middle East is on fire. Gas prices are soaring. Jobs are disappearing. Senile Satan is golfing again.

Honestly, I would not expect that much criticism from programmers. What I hate is the 'assistants', customer service, and especially application to the "arts"

Watching Hegseth rant about limitless killing, I remembered the words of the anticolonial poet and leader AimΓ© CΓ©saire. β€œThe hour of the barbarian is at hand,” he wrote in his β€œDiscourse on Colonialism” in 1950.

I don't care about the price of gas. My life doesn't revolve around my car. I didn't set up my life in a way that forces me drive 50+ miles every day to live.

I recognize not everyone has this luxury. Our built environment should give people options.

That means public transit and urban density!

And true. White Americans are "more valuable" than brown people of any kind.

This is no surprise. For the record, I was always very confident in Dr. Fauci. He was the victim of a propaganda campaign.
