AI isn’t going to guarantee those young people the income the jobs it is replacing would. AI as a part of capitalism is about cutting costs, not to be beneficial to society. It may have that as a side effect, but not enough to account for the economic impact of job losses on hose impacted by those losses.

It just means the punishment is money, not jail. That’s what it really means. Companies can kill people with negligence and pay money. People that kill people with negligence go to jail. And also pay money.

I know. The headlines are all 47 will care about. As is tradition.

ICE and DEA are probably in every state already.

He’ll be focusing on undocumented folks in blue states, first, for sure. But economists are already predicting skyrocketing grocery prices as labor scarcity is forcibly introduced by these deportations, either way.

My guess, he focuses purely on “shock and awe” by targeting blue cities with workplace raids rather than just going to literally every farm in the south.

Yeah, they also don’t know or influence any voters. Not at all.

Staying cancelled is a mine field, if you choose to continue shopping on Amazon but not to have Prime. Every single screen has some kind of nag, dark pattern, or outright deceptive path for you to one-click back into it.

They made “migrating” a crime, so, yeah, leopards…face…

Doing anything on Facebook is the opposite of private.

Whatever GOP politicians villainize, it’s nearly uniformly projection on their part.

One thing most have done is incorporate more air, as part of shrinkflation. That makes it more soft because it’s less actual product.

Others have answered, but the reason why “states’ rights” don’t matter at the Federal level is the Supremacy Clause. States can be more restrictive than the Federal government, but cannot be more lax/loose. An interesting aside is the states that have legalized marijuana usage, where the Federal government has (as of yet) not cracked down on that. It is within constitutional power to do so, but just hasn’t.

I’m on LibreWolf. What made you switch?

If your portfolio is down that much over that period of time, you are likely not making good investment choices. S&P500 is up like 50% since 2021…

Your losses or lack of portfolio growth isn’t really something to complain about online without more info on what your asset mix is. Unless your goal was just to complain, and not get any advice from helpful anons that are having more success in investment choices.

It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare

Tech, big cap, and healthcare are already part of the total market funds, so you’re over-weighting (taking excess risk) by investing that way. Assuming you’re pretty young based on time in market, you’d be fine with just the total market fund, until you have more experience with the market or just want a set and forget, for a while.

Having a news post buried in the path of “contact us” of an Atlanta field office, maybe?

The US is the primary military force protecting Taiwan, by treaty. That’s likely why.

Apple One+

Music, TV, Games, and 50GB storage for $10/month via Verizon.

iPhone user here, with an ad blocker in Safari and DNS-based ad blocking. Don’t assume all iPhone users are in that category…

This is because they are paid for the canvassing, right? I can’t fathom a reason why to bother with this, if not for that. Other than maybe some Dem tomfoolery to skew the ground game reporting, I guess.

Investing billions
