An Oligarchic Republic, your wealth determines how many votes you get. In this system, the 99% of poor voters are shit.
We will need wealth floors and ceilings in a revised Constitution in order to get rid of this issue. Economics, politics, and violence, are just different faces of power. The great mistake of the Founding Fathers was failing to recognize that money needs checks and balances, else it runs out of control.
For my part, I just assume that I wouldn't be fun, and simply stay away from other humans when possible. I can't really enjoy being a protagonist of romance VNs anymore, because I am aware of how unlikable I am. Reality intrudes on fantasy, turning the dream into a nightmare.
As a dweller, I would like more basement to keep me and humanity separated, never to see each other again.
Vivian Wilson deserves to live. Just because she has a shitty excuse of a father, doesn't mean that his sins are hers to inherit. It is a choice of the children whether their parent's beliefs live on.
I hope to someday have a Coupon AI. It creates throwaway accounts and tracks the pricing of stuff that I actually like. In my case, 2-liter diet soda. Those things can cost $1-4 dollars depending on circumstances. Buying 36 bottles for more than $2 would be a ripoff.
A KFC feast used to be cheaper back when I got coupons. Now I have to sign up if I want to afford delicious birds and biscuits. I want to be free from being harvested and spammed. I just want to spend my money in a way that doesn't ruin me. 😥
I won't buy any American car newer than 2024.
If the wealthy's heads end up in baskets, the Buffets won't be among them.
Sounds like his casinos. I would like to bet against the house.
I like AI, but we are still in the biplane era of development. It will take a long time before it can handle most things, let alone unsupervised.
If Shopify goes follows through with imitating Musk's stupidity, I expect the company to end up as a case study.
I think AI will be useful, but like any nascent technology, it will have to be accessible for the public before the everyman would adopt it. IMO, we are currently at the 2nd or 3rd stage in the picture below.
I hope a traffic controller guides Elon's jet into the tarmac.
I just hope that the EU and other major powers blacklist Yarvin's Cabal from living or operating in their territories. The 1%'s money is tainted, as it would surely be used to corrode and destroy countries as it had the US.
I have the impression that Musk wants to be the 'Black Goat with a Thousand Young'.
