The thing is, the impulse to attack the consumer is exactly what corporations want. Now you aren’t mad at the minimum wage or the wage theft. You’re mad at the consumer who didn’t give you five stars.
What exactly is the Pentagon paying these AI companies to do to us?

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Headline: Oil surges above $100 as Gulf states cut back production; WTI nearly touched $120 a barrel at high
So great that MAGA did everything possible to kneecap the electric-vehicle market in the US, while doing everything recklessly possible to ramp up the cost of fuel.

Hoo, they send you down to war/
Lord, and when you ask them “How much should we give?”/
Hoo, they only answer “more, more, more, more”/
“It was the first time in almost four years that the global oil benchmark, known as Brent, cost more than $100 a barrel. Oil is now around 50 percent more expensive than it was before the United States and Israel began attacking Iran on Feb. 28.”

A favorite preface
Indeed it was
So many of the Obama-Biden coalition are struggling to accept that they are simply not needed in an authoritarian regime. Still talking nudges and data fixes as a strongman wipes his butt with the bill of rights is absolutely delusional.
I feel like I’m yelling at a girlfriend who keeps taking her drug dealing boyfriend back. The private sector is just not that into you!
Screenshot of an excerpt from a Bulwark article: "But Congress has left this entirely up to him. Who knows in which direction Trump’s narcissism and megalomania will push him?

This is not good.
NEW: Trump appointees in the State Dept. failed to urge Americans to leave the Middle East even though the US & Israel had been planning their war for weeks. Thousands are now frantic amid missile barrages. Rubio pushed out many veteran diplomats last year. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...
Y’all think these are dance moves when they really are tactical maneuvers for when they are deployed to suppress us. But keep thinking it’s cute to watch how deftly robots dance.
