I don't think people actually realize what it means when companies say they are "cutting redundancy". It means every role becomes critical and you can't take a day off because no "redundancy" is there todo your job when you aren't. Then they blame you for wanting to take a vacation.

The solution isn't hard. Heavily Tax AI companies to slow their growth and force them to stop buying the excess memory. This would provide consumer relief as AI companies cancel existing orders. It isn't hard being pro-consumer, if you are not corrupt. arstechnica.com/information-...

Wrote about evergreening before and this is exactly why we need to overhaul the patent law internationally. Only way to solve it is not making a single compromise. Drugs gets 2 years patent then its GPL. They need to earn longer patents by showing good will arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

A diesel export ban would just more problems down the line. Every single economic system is connected by fuel. With strained supply banning export means all imported products will drastically increase in price. Best way to solve diesel problem is getting plants in Hormuz open.

Just learned Flip Flops was originally a slang term. The shoes were originally known as Zori ( Japanese ) and Thebet ( Egyptian ) When it came to US people started calling them Flip Flops and Thongs and eventually the Flip Flop name stuck.

One of the best way to solve Tax and Liability issues is to level the playing field. Remove LLC protections and Trust Ownerships by requiring true owner documentation. This would simplify unnecessary amount of time spent "Piercing Corporate veil" Which expedites tax + fraud prosecution.

For those wondering the purpose of Artemis 2 mission, it's to test core systems. You don't want todo too much in a high risk situation. You want to make sure what works and what doesn't with minimum risk to human life. Also would prevent costly failures if trying todo too much.

A viral incident showing 11,000 litres of milk poured into the Narmada River as a religious offering has sparked debate online. While devotees viewed it as an act of faith, critics highlighted environmental damage caused by oxygen depletion in water and questioned food wastage in a country facing malnutrition, urging more compassionate and sustainable forms of devotion

This is also a clear sign "Trickle Down Economics" does not work and hopefully Republican Voters will soon be educated enough to see that. 2025 showed weakest Job Growth since the Pandemic. Market saturation prevents companies from growing, so they just raise prices instead. Not sustainable.

I think both parties should work together to make fair voting laws 1. Voting Happens over a span of 3 Days. When you register you get a voter number and specific days a specific group of numbers vote. Which decreases waiting in lines and adds security to voter count 2. Voting day national holiday

I think this is a great example of good accounting. What may seem like a high upfront cost ends up being less down the line. As those costs end up adding up. Private companies raise costs by 20% year on year Wile Government taxes may go up 1 - 2% instead. Problem is we also need better auditing.
