@jeremyphoward@mjbommar there are certain things that should be protected imo. like the studio ghibli fad with generating images in their specific style. ai isn't teaching in that context. knowledge and expertise are great uses for ai for learning, augmenting, getting some examples.
@Edward_767@toniadyson1010@politvidchannel check the popular vote ratios. also, when Rs won this election, kamala conceded and admitted trump won, but for some reason maga demanded it to be called a landslide lol.
@DoaAmerica@turtlemedic@suchnerve the post office deficit is due to the change in recent years where they have to pay pensions for retirees when they haven't even been close to retirement. imagine having to PREPAY the entire working wage of a 30 year old, that works 35 years.

@tbarty03@joelw_762@JonBowzerBauman Him admitting its "hard" isn't just about degree but how he does it. His voters all say the same thing: economy is bad, need prices down. That's the platform he ran on, he'll simply lower prices. Now, he'll say its difficult to bring things down. We'll see what he does.
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner what should the govt, in your eyes, be? just a military? with your statement, the govt should NOT provide relief after hurricanes or floods, FEMA, FDA, SSA should not exist, etc. Why bother having elections and legislative bodies? What decisions would they be making?
@nocapviews @Warrior_334 @Sbarker345@JDCocchiarella yes, i understand that net worth is misleading as most of his assets are in company stock which is locked up. i was just curious to see new perspectives, as i wasnt sure what % america has for the highest bracket.
@RichardBeckV @Warrior_334 @JDCocchiarella a billion dollars is very different from a million. elon has an obscene amt of money. "most" of it is in assets, yes, but do you think he doesn't make income off savings, cash, and interest/dividends? but yes, politicians should not be able to buy/sell individual stock.
@Huckleberry60@iipeppermintt@ninaturner This post is about healthcare and living wages, which is why I'm focusing on those. The govt is responsible for a whole variety of things. Food, military, health, support systems. Why are you "interested" that I didn't mention the military? X limits 260 char lol
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner the way i see it, conservatives are the ones that want lower taxes, but they still want to fund more govt projects to secure border and military, which will cost $. to get this money they want to pull funds from support programs like SocSec and the ACA. is that wrong?
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner i keep seeing "taxation is theft" when taxes pay for real things that benefit americans. i consider theft an issue of personal gain - if a guy steals your watch, that guy profits solely. what do you mean "the crap they feed us?" who is "they"? who is dependant on the govt?
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner im down for it but nobodys offering a concrete solution. the administration should not be able to pull medicaid without a proper replacement ready to go.
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner also i just googled catastrophic coverage and the deductible for 1 person is 9k+ before being covered. i get ~1k/mo. in SSDI. if i didnt have medicaid id be screwed.
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner im alive today. who gets responsibility for that? the docs who went to college? the govt subsidizing my treatment? its such a convoluted issue that isnt black and white. its not "taxes bad" or "taxes good" or anything. we depend on other ppl even if we dont know them
@Huckleberry60@ninaturner what i do know is that 100 years ago i would just die. now, with science, i get chemo, radiation, and drugs that control my seizures. if you take life "your way", you need to develop drugs urself, make them safe, etc etc. due to society raising docs and ppl studying cancer,
