Sam Altman thinks RAM sitting in personal computers is a waste when it could be put to better use in data centers.
Weird. I was just thinking that all those billions sitting in billionaires’ bank accounts could be put to much better use in our communities.
@steverichards14@NicholasTyrone Yes it should have. But seriously, do you really look at Mr Healey and think to yourself, there is a man who is going to produce a daring and imaginative budget?
Kemi Badenoch.

Concentration of wealth has not provided the necessary economic stimulus.
Need redistribution.

WHY ARE WE SO QUICK TO ASSUME POOR PEOPLE WILL TAKE MORE THAN THEY NEED, BUT SO QUIET ABOUT THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP WHO HAVE ALREADY HOARDED MORE THAN ANYONE COULD EVER NEED?
