RFK Jr. says AI backs his anti-vaccine views. We checked—it doesn't.
AI is far from a perfect resource. But it seems to hallucinate less than Kennedy.

A reminder: the top income tax rate used to be 90%+ and corporate 52%. US and UK. Inheritance 77% US, 85% UK. Now these countries pay "interest" TO the wealthy instead of taxing them. A wealth tax only begins to get the money FROM where the money WENT. Tax the rich.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
