This year feels like the first year we are talking about the real issue.

Something we’ve known for years.

It’s the billionaires.

People are beginning to get it.

The culture war was created by them to divert the real issue.

Their greed. Their absolute and grotesque greed.

Why do Republicans want unregulated AI and ban states from regulating it?

Answer - AI kills jobs, slashes labor costs, boosts profits, and centralizes power. Less accountability.
Unregulated AI Will Destroy 300 Million Jobs. Only Regulation Can Save Them
AI can be a detriment to our economy, and more specifically, the unemployment rate, so we cannot have uneducated officials controlling our fate.

BREAKING: Asked where he wants interest rates a year from now, Trump said:
“1% — maybe even lower.”

He also said the next Fed Chair should consult with him on interest rates.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of monetary policy — and a direct threat to economic stability.

Since it's the 25th anniversary of the corrupt SCOTUS decision that guaranteed we'd never know who really won the 2000 election, I thought I'd mention for those of you who may have been too young or just not paying attention to politics then that HBO has an excellent movie called "Recount" about it.
