The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Along the way we can expect about 3+ months of many normal services going weird because they put AI IN the service, so if the models get cut, we're going to be seeing "service not provided" in our autofill & spell check fields, or search bars.

Most of the time an entire industry dies out over time, not overnight, but once the VC money shifts, it will shift quickly and that electricity will not pay itself.
