Here is an interesting fact most people don’t know about Rupert Murdoch.
In 1981/‘83, he made backroom deals with Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan (via Roy Cohn).
He promised to help them win elections; and they enabled his gutting and subversion of our press & media.

It looks like the correct number for a Category 6 hurricane is 200mph sustained winds or higher. That's yet to happen in the Atlantic, where the record is 190mph, but has happened in the Pacific.

Trickle Down Economics before AI: Wealth doesn't trickle down. Wages low, or stagnant. Government subsidies required to keep people from starving. Millions without healthcare. Wealthy & Corp. pay little to zero taxes. Gini Coefficient ~42. /1
That's the pitch to the business class. The pitch to the general public claims that AI will lead to a golden age of superabundance & that the individuals & corporations who make absurd fortunes from it will, from the kindness of their hearts, share their wealth w/the masses.
The secret is being a white man + telling people soothing lies they want to hear.
The basic thrust of AI rhetoric is “this tech will allow you, Mr Businessman, to fire all your employees, just think of the savings.”

Although thousands of Americans embraced fascist ideas during the interwar years, a new study examines why the US has had little appetite to remember that past.
