If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive?
Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy?
Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet?
We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

Despite the speed at which it is progressing, AI is getting far too little discussion in Congress, the media and within the general population. That has got to change

I’ve been seeing a meme that “shifting $40 to local shops” and while I haven’t checked the match, I agree that money spent locally stays in the community — supporting wages, suppliers, taxes, and charities.
We can’t buy everything small, but shifting even a couple gifts matters.

Amazon is trying to put a warehouse in my small #Vermont town's forest. Our local development review board voted 'no', but #Amazon appealed to the state. Concerns over a spur road leading to 300 acres for expansion. If anyone's able to help us, all funds go to our legal battle.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
