New technologies increase productivity, but you don't get a shorter work day. Lifespans increase, but the retirement age gets pushed back. Under capitalism, every advancement just leads to further exploitation.
Dems need to understand:
- it was NOT a blue wave
- it was an ANTI-RED wave
- an ANTI-AIPAC wave
There is NOTHING Dems did that earned them a majority. They are useless. Jefferies & Schumer are despised.
Any rep that wants to survive next election: act accordingly.
Republicans win races by 0.01% and stack their administration with fascist lunatics.
Democrats win races by almost 30% and yet are obsessed with doing this insufferable bipartisan bullshit.
It’s absolutely exhausting.
The "Middle Class" was a 50-year fluke designed to prevent a communist revolution during the Cold War. Now that the threat is gone, the elites are systematically dismantling it. You aren't "falling behind"; you’re being pushed back into the peasantry.
@emiliepfrank DCA is still goated but the silver line makes Dulles viable. Metro takes an hour and costs 5 bucks to get there. Taxi will save maybe 20 minutes at best and costs 10 times more minimum.

If there's an oil crisis and oil companies are making record profits, A healthcare crisis and healthcare companies are making record profits, a financial crisis and finance companies are making record profits.Then the companies are the crisis.

The 401(k) is a gambling vehicle for the stock market. It was introduced as a replacement for pensions in the 1980s. It shifted the risk of retirement from the employer to the worker.
So we've had LLMs for a few years now, right?
Where's the big thing they've done? Where's the cancer cure? Where's the unlimited abundance?
Honestly, can someone show me one great thing LLMs have done for society?
