@pesaosquesois@nik0p0l5 nobody can have affordable housing if single women without kids can have 4 bedroom apartments for almost free, it's litterally taking it from a couple or worse from a family. she stole housing from a family
MOST EXCITING DAY OF THE 2026 MIDTERMS: oughhhh…this new poll has Democrats up by 5 in Oklahoma…but…but what if it’s wrong…
LEAST EXCITING DAY OF THE 2022 MIDTERMS:
The same people harping on about how Melenchon is a totally ''normal Soc Dem'' would have said the same shit about Hugo Chavez back in the early 2000s before he destroyed Venezuela's democracy and economy
(lets also remember Melenchon is a massive fan of Chavez as well lmao)
I’d abandon every dollar I paid into social security and pay a $10 K buyout fee just to opt out of the program.
If you have the mental capacity to use a smartphone to open a broker and type “VOO,” then social security is a worthless program to you.
Social security should be reduced to just the disability aspect and survivorship for minor children. It should be basically a non-optional disability and survivorship program.
The $10K buyout fee should generate substantial new revenue that can pay out until the program runs out of money and is abandoned.
The Ponzi scheme has run out of investors and it’s time for a brave politician to stop kicking the can down the road.
@midnight_b65055 How disingenuous is this lmao. I somehow doubt he would dynamite the Mosque of Herat if someone wanted to spend conservation money on it instead of living human beings.
This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.
2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.
According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.
The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.
Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.
And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.
What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?
3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.
It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.
4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?
The Swedish government has delivered on almost all of its election promises.
Shootings are down 80%. Gang-related deaths are down 75%. Inflation has fallen from 10% to the lowest level in the EU. Taxes on work, electricity, savings, and pensions have been cut. Fuel is €1 cheaper than elsewhere in the Nordics and the cheapest in the EU.
Healthcare waiting lists are down everywhere except in S-run Stockholm. Citizenship now requires genuine integration, including Swedish-language skills. Benefits have been tightened (immigrants could receive twice the median salary). Nuclear power is expanding instead of being shut down. Repeat rapists no longer receive the old "discount" on subsequent offences (entire left-wing bloc voted against). And more has been invested in schools than ever before.
The election is in 10 days and the left-wing bloc, which openly wants to roll back many of these reforms, is leading the polls. The reason is that non-Western immigrants vote along ethnic or religious lines. For example, 85% of Swedish Muslims vote for V or S.
This is one of the greatest photographs of the Trump Era.
The striking blue and gold, the baroque perfection of Whitmer's pose, and that—even though he is not pictured—you can *feel* Trump's presence (not least in the gaudy decor).
The final humiliation of the antitrumpistes.
leftists seem to understand that police unions create negative externalities but they think its a unique evil that somehow doesn't apply to any other type of union
How does an 80 year old man who’s never even sent an email have better messaging on data centers than 99% of all politicians?
He hits all the major points
-emphasizes that location matters
-mentions the upsides (jobs+lower taxes)
-addresses energy cost concerns
It’s incredible.
The conspiracy theories near-ubiquitously held by normie leftists are equally, if not more, ridiculous, infeasible and convoluted than those subscribed to by the most obscurantist chuds on earth. What incentive could the FBI possibly have to encourage misogyny?
@alt_ccc if you tell normies we spent about as much stopping a global bank run as biden did making good a union pension, they'll get mad at you for speaking the truth
I’ve generally felt that a lot of complaints about Talarico have been overblown, but this in particular is egregiously craven. This is not the answer of a man concerned about either justice or a working system.
What a mess of a Senate race.
In hindsight, Bill Walker's decision to trim the PFD was one of the bravest political decisions ever made by an Alaskan politician. Alaska's decade long decline in population and $ crisis would be 1000x.
Coming back to run for the 4th time is just sad at this point. RIP
Honestly the fact that we don’t have more income tax revolts is completely insane. People in NYC get taxed 50% and the government essentially does not provide services to those paying the taxes but instead only to the leech component that doesn’t pay taxes.
