They do not. The campaigns are cute branding ads, and blockwalking with volunteers canvassing houses that voted in Dem primaries - they don’t like talking to Indies because they might disagree.

“To the extent that excessive force has been used,” Kavanaugh wrote in a 10-page concurrence, “the Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies should be available in federal court.”

If they do that, it won’t change house race outcomes. Maybe Senate.
Musk canvassed the swing districts in ‘23, and that’s probably why Trumps in the WH. But getting to the Indies is hard and only the SoS has that data. You still have to know Data Science to take advantage - Musk does- Dems don’t.

I’m still not clear on what they would do with this data.
Are they going to flag any anomalies they can find and delay/interfere the counting/certification process? If so, will the courts allow a delay of certification?
Or, are they just suppressing turnout with perceived risk? Really?

I appreciate the analysis. I do. I just find it hard to believe that the US would invade another country - an act of war - do acquire depleted reserves that need major investment to produce.
I do NOT find it hard to believe that Trump would invade another country to cancel elections.

That's not what it's about. Trump doesn't care about oil the US is a net exporter. It's about power - declaring martial law and cancelling the election.

They're just the pawns that are being used to create a war so he can activate martial law and control the election. That's all he cares about.

The greed and lust for power is all in one package with AI. The promise of wealth and control of the population (and income distribution) is the oligarchs dream come true (I happen to believe its an illusion destined to fail, but that doesn't matter here)
Oil is nothing to that dream

Nothing to do with oil. US is overproducing already. It has everything to do with declaring war, martial law, and ending elections.

The US is an exporter of oil - a fungible. No value. He’s declaring a war so he can lock down martial law and end elections

And so many unnecessary deaths - at least a million so far - considering the 1/2 mil excess deaths he caused during the COVID political period - 'political', being how this very sick man, empowered by very stupid people... interpreted it.

And the east wing will have to be completely rebuilt.
But, the first priority will be restoring the compromised systems that are limping and leaking (which is great for fraudsters and enemies, but gives us no assurance of security or consistency). I’m guessing a generation and a trillion $.

I can’t even get the AI bots, at the AI companies, to solve most problems. We’re generations away - if ever. Just a tool thats hyped to the max

You have to fund the data centers so that the oligarchs can deploy AI bots and move you to a lower paying job, with employer controlled healthcare so you can't leave, and you have no options or bargaining power.
But hey - you'll be happy pushing buttons to train more AI bots.

Producers are entering a world where they will have to segment micro-markets - subscriptions and advertising revenues will become the driver (so, profiling and deposable personal income will too).
Owning the customer is the game - so, vertical platforms have major strategic advantage.
