@thereisnobeth It’s a great idea, when the problem you’re solving is not “how do we build more ai data centers in a practical manner”. It’s “how do we keep the AI bubble inflated long enough to cash out and leave the average investor holding the bag?”

@JustineBateman @Chevron Why should the oil company be allowed to spend millions of dollars electing or defeating their preferred candidates and the politicians not be allowed to use their platform to promote or detract the oil company?

@ScottJenningsKY every accusation a confession, it is actually the US GOP that's being run by an end-times religious cult in the evangelical christians.

It’s truly unbelievable that the State Department put this clip out.

So, Iran can’t be allowed to have a nuke (which they don’t) or they would be able to close the strait (which they already did) because we wouldn’t be able to stop them (which we currently can’t).

@SecWar Don't you have a war to be managing instead of making dumbass internet videos?

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@moveincircles you sound like you have a GREAT sense of humor...

@ronrule we already acknowledge that healthcare is a human right, that's why emergency rooms in the US don't turn anyone away. if you want to advocate for emergency rooms just letting people die on the sidewalk if they can't pay up front for medical care that's on you.

@YrtnegCired @benshapiro no that was actually the current president of the united states that praised that book.

@WesleyP65443 @zeeo7824 @notacat00 @ReviewsPossum That's what the people who benefit the most from this system have conditioned you to believe, that better things are not possible.

@FMYossarian @ReviewsPossum Whether I feel personally rewarded by my personal employment is irrelevant to the conversation. and i'm not a communist.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@bort789 @ReviewsPossum My argument is that what's going on right now is proof that the relationships are currently drastically out of balance. that's why people are so angry and frustrated.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@bort789 @ReviewsPossum the other option is what we'd sometimes call a start-up or sometimes a cooperative where workers band together and pool their resources to obtain the necessary equipment and raw materials to generate value. these days when that happens capital buys them out to avoid competition

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@bort789 @ReviewsPossum Ideally, in a correctly functioning capitalist system, business owners would be incentivized to invest some of the profits back into the business and the workers, not just for their own sake, but to create belief in the long term viability of the business. but they're not.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@PostTenebras2 @ReviewsPossum by the way, even at those high salaries, those worker's excess value is still being siphoned and exploited, and they're also not so subtly encouraged to work 996 for it to the detriment of things like personal growth and family life.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@PostTenebras2 @ReviewsPossum what kind of stock RSUs are they giving to the people in China assembling the iPhones at the building with the suicide netting? what about the cobalt miners in africa? what is their compensation package like? the worst exploitation has simply been moved elsewhere.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@FMYossarian @ReviewsPossum A. the issue is not that people have to work, but that they are alienated from their work.
B. corporate profits are excess value. if a corporation operates for a profit, it has retained value generated by workers.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@MAllahham_ @ReviewsPossum The perceived value of specific businesses becoming untethered from their profitability is one of the signs that the financial system has spiraled out of control. They are still extracting excess value from the labor even if their metric is stock price and not profits.

[Jeremy Levin @00Levin]

@zeeo7824 @notacat00 @WesleyP65443 @ReviewsPossum corporate profits are not a fact of the environment, it is a system we have invented. If every person received the value their labor created minus legitimate business expenses there would be no issue. The percent of their labor value that is extracted has greatly increased.
