The problem that we need to solve isn't rogue AI, it's that companies increasingly think they can just price crime into the business model and get away with it

Hey, AI wastes billions of gallons of water, but have you seen all of that water wasted on food crops
The data center with the highest known water consumption, Google's development in Council Bluffs, Iowa, consumes about 1.3 billion gallons a year. That sounds massive, but so is the amount of water used to irrigate Iowas corn crops. If Google had bought a cornfield four to six times as large as the data center's plot, or about eight square miles (roughly 0.04 percent of the total

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

And the bank took it and didn't give it back. ACA plan holders never see any subsidy money, it goes straight to their chosen insurance provider. In this scenario the insurance Cos would be making contracts with fake people to collect the subsidy $$

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Biden should have announced he was not running. Then have a wide open primary where a better candidate without Bidens baggage could have won. But that's ancient history now. Either way Im looking forward to a progressive, non establishment candidate in 2028 that doesnt take corporate PAC money.
