Here is how the AI bubble is being created, per Bloomberg:

I triggered some snowflake conservatives yesterday, so let me say it louder:

Billionaires are making record profits.

They’re price gouging and tax dodging.

If you're blaming minimum wage workers or immigrants instead of them,

You're pointing your anger in the wrong direction.

Well, MAGAs, you owned the Libs, and all it cost you was a fuctioning government, a working democracy, human rights, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, global standing.

Good for you!

Truly incredible thread by a global security editor at Politico.

Where is Dave Chappelle? Champion of free speech! Where is Joe Rogan— giant in the fight to say what we want?

Oh? It was bullshit and they just wanted to be hateful to marginalized groups without criticism? Got it.

Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”

Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.

Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.

It’s the guns.

If a Canadian business can’t survive without hiring temporary foreign workers, then it should simply be allowed to fail.

We, as a society, should not accept widespread wage suppression and imported slave labour just to prop up uncompetitive employers.

- $50B in wage theft per year
- 44% of workers paid poverty wages
- Health coverage tied to employment
- No paid family leave

This makes a lot of sense.
