If this is Walmart we’re talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around “censorship”. In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can’t level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.

From the first article:

Social Security will still exist after 2035, according to the report. But without congressional action, retirees will only receive 83% of their full benefits.

Insolvent doesn’t mean it goes away, it means reduced payment.

Please don’t attack my intellect without comprehending your own sources.

The only way money is running out is if people stop paying into the system altogether. As long as people pay into SS there is money to distribute.

If we just uncapped social security contributions this wouldn’t be an issue. This is a manufactured crisis to convince people that socialism doesn’t work and we should go back to barbarism.

The only reason SS wouldn’t pay out is if you don’t qualify or it is repealed (or they break the operations so it doesn’t work). It will be there when you retire at a reduced rate. If we uncapped the SS contributions the that problem goes away.

I was all for Social Security when I knew one day I’d be able to partake in it too, but with everything going on, fuck that and give me my money back.

Mission accomplished. SS is one of the most successful government programs and we can’t have that!

So Ilhan Omar is wrong? They both can’t be right. The author made a good point that AOC voted differently in the past, was AOC wrong then?

We didn’t know about cointelpro and other clandestine operations until civilians broke into the FBI office and stole files. We won’t see the Epstein list unless something similar happens.

Let’s be real, if the dress said “suck off the rich” instead of “tax the rich” they wouldn’t have fined her.

You need to have better opinions. Only Nazis disagree with me! /s

Normal people who aren’t pedophiles will comment on the facial features and say something like “she has her mom’s nose”.

Expanding the city council representation seems to be the key here. Candidates with 25% + 1 votes along with rank choice voting make the cut.

If they throw the MAGA base a Clinton they might forgive Trump for being a pedo.

For the Epstein list to be released and for all the wealthy pesos to be executed.

The point is that being a consumer of AI is not seizing the means of production. If you’re not spending millions of dollars training and operating the AI to actually own it, the power you have is on lease and the terms can change at anytime without regard to your needs or wishes.

A functioning judicial system is a prerequisite to any sort of accountability. And if we had a judicial system that served the people, then the Epstein client list would be known and prosecuted. The problem is we have a two-tiered justice system.

More like national socialist

AI isn’t your pal, it is not the cure for isolation under capitalism. It is also not free to run unless you are the product.

Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You’re not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.
