I guess when Trump says: "hey billionaires, give me money and I'll abolish the EPA" https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/09/trump-oil-industry-campaign-money/ ... He's just barking up the wrong tree?

Okay, but one side uses fear to roll out voting rights while the other takes those same rights away. Fear isn't controlling all of us because it is up to us in how we respond.

Honestly that's overselling Biden and their own pitch is you are voting against ending democracy. Biden isn't going to make the future less grim (unless we protest), but Trump would certainly make it worse.

I love the part where the democratic leadership made sure there were no viable alternatives during the primary.

Yes the part about reducing government size. You have project 2025 that wants to get rid of the EPA and the Department of Education. Do the billionaires support this project because they have integrity or because it's good for their bottom line?

Was wondering if they're using RaG, and they are, but in the worst possible way:

Complicating matters is the fact that Copilot doesn’t always know where to go to find an answer to a particular question, Spataro said. When asked a question about revenue, Copilot won’t necessarily know to go straight to the enterprise financial system of record rather than picking up any revenue-related numbers that appear in emails or documents, he said.

Thing might be rendered useful if you could constrain it to search a particular source or site. And even better, instead of hallucinating it could just give you a link and a citation. We could call it a search engine.

Do you think the capitalists who say exactly that, have integrity? Could you name one?

"Free market capitalism" is a fairytale we tell school children. Free market capitalism would be me filling up my car with leaded gasoline before going to work at a meth plant, but also I gotta pay the toll to use the private roads.

The war on drugs has entered the chat

WDYM, it's not like the structural problems of capitalism would favor fascists if we provide a market for buying guns. It's not like fascists are the ones with more money and time from owning a business or something. I would totally show up to defend my country from a coup as long as it coincides with my work break. /s

Who do you think the US government works for?
