And that's the truth.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@anthonychen_atx @OrevaZSN Wtf do you mean it would be considered eugenics?
You think it’s acceptable to live in a world where the most impoverished and starving regions have high fertility rates, mainly because they also have high child mortality rates due to poverty/starvation?

@Bigcane11 @wUGw9OwEWVLBVkC @asa_ko_tko Damn. Your initial comment was cute, but this is disappointing.
If you don’t want women to have the ability to make a living on their own, you are implying that women are a man’s property, nothing but a baby-making machine.
Is that really how you feel?

It's really funny how debt is forgivable when it's tied to yachts, hedge funds, or failed businesses, but suddenly becomes a character flaw when it's tied to education, healthcare, or survival.

I keep thinking this should have crossed everyone’s mind at least once in the past year but like 1 in every 5 adults in the US can’t even read so… yeah. We’re fucked.

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now.

The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left.

Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops.

If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time.

The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation.

The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy.

They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand.

The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker.

The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

@benfolds5shirts @Sir_Simons @Polymarket You implied that the because it’s a “myth” that women are wrongfully accusing men and the system of oppression. Ergo….. you’re just peddling more misinformation

[Eggs @saraege]

@benfolds5shirts @Sir_Simons @Polymarket “2 income households” the vast majority of the US required women to have their husbands permission to work and even then they weren’t legally capable of controlling the money they earned. So if you had no father or husband you were basically dead.

Capitalism is why healthcare is measured in profits instead of health outcomes.

…why there are poisons in your food.

…why military contractors lobby politicians to start wars.

…why media spies on you to sell things.

…why technology exploits your data.

…why you aren’t paid enough to afford anything.

There will be no renaissance until we care more about each other, instead of how much money a very few people can make by exploiting the rest of us.

[hunter @hxxntrr]

the hospital you were born in charged your mother $40 for the first time she held you

it's called "skin-to-skin contact" and there's a billing code for it. CPT 99460. your mother went through labor, pushed a human being out of her body, and the hospital charged her forty dollars for the privilege of touching her own child

this is the same billing system that's destroying your credit score right now

a single ER visit generates 15-40 individual line items. each one has a CPT code. each code has a chargemaster price set by the hospital. and that chargemaster is a fictional document that has no connection to the actual cost of anything

a bag of IV saline: hospital cost $0.86, chargemaster price $400-$900
a single acetaminophen tablet (tylenol): hospital cost $0.02, chargemaster price $15-$50
a basic blood panel: lab cost $12, chargemaster price $200-$1,100
a CT scan: equipment cost per scan ~$50, chargemaster price $3,000-$10,000

every single one of these inflated charges becomes a "debt" when you don't pay. and that debt gets sold to a collector for 2-4 cents on the dollar. and that collector puts it on your credit report as if you actually owe $47 for a tylenol tablet

there are 100 million americans carrying medical debt right now. roughly 1 in 3 adults. it's the #1 cause of collections on credit reports and the #1 reason people file bankruptcy in this country

and most of it is made up numbers from a document nobody was supposed to see

the play:

for any medical bill over $1,000, ALWAYS request the itemized bill first. not the summary bill they send you (one big number designed to scare you into paying). the line-by-line itemized version with CPT codes for every charge

google each CPT code against the fair market rate at https://t.co/vIYPxw32Vh. compare what the hospital charged versus what the procedure actually costs in your geographic area. you will find overcharges on almost every bill. sometimes 3x. sometimes 10x

once you have the itemized bill, call the hospital billing department and say this:

"i'm reviewing my itemized charges and i've identified several line items that significantly exceed fair market rates for my area. i'd like to discuss an adjustment before this goes any further. i also want to confirm whether i qualify for your financial assistance program under your charity care policy"

every nonprofit hospital in america (which is most of them) is legally required to have a financial assistance policy under Section 501(r) of the Internal Revenue Code. if your income falls below a certain threshold relative to the federal poverty level (usually 200-400% FPL), the hospital must reduce or eliminate your bill entirely. they are required by law to have this program and required to tell you about it

most don't tell you about it. because every dollar you pay in full is a dollar they don't have to write off

if the bill has already gone to collections:

the collector bought inflated chargemaster numbers for pennies. they can't produce the original itemized bill. they can't explain the CPT codes. they can't verify the charges are accurate. they bought a spreadsheet

send the validation letter under FDCPA 809. demand the original itemized statement with CPT codes, the payment history showing insurance adjustments, and proof the remaining balance is accurate after all insurance payments and contractual adjustments

collectors almost never have this level of documentation for medical accounts. the hospital sold the debt and moved on. the paperwork went with it

a woman came to us with $67,000 in medical collections across three hospital visits. we requested itemized bills for all three. found $23,000 in duplicate charges, upcoded procedures, and facility fees that were already included in the surgeon's bill. disputed the collections using the itemized discrepancies as evidence. two collectors couldn't validate at all. the third settled for $4,200 on a $31,000 account

she went from $67,000 in medical debt to $4,200 in total payments. her score went from 541 to 718 in 90 days. she bought a house 6 months later

the hospital charged your mom $40 to hold you. and they'll charge you $50 for a tylenol today. and they'll put both on your credit report if you don't pay. and they'll sell it for pennies to a collector who'll harass you for years

the entire system runs on your ignorance. the billing, the collections, the reporting. every layer depends on you never looking at the itemized charges and never questioning the numbers

we look at the numbers. we question everything. and we get the bullshit off your credit report. link in bio
