Prior to the 21st century, the most effective way for an empire to build wealth, was unquestionably "Kill the Black and brown people, and steal their stuff."
The empires growing weath the fastest, were the most belligerent. Dutch. British. American.
But in the 21st century, that's less effective.🤷🏿♂️

So Chinese hospital ships are now in the Carribean, helping Jamaica.♥️🕊️
It's fascinating that we're all getting front row seats to see if threats and violence (US approach), or compliments and assistance (Chinese approach) will be more effective by 2030 at securing resources from developing nations.

The fact that Democrats didn't know the public couldn't afford to live, to the point of "affordability" becoming a hip new buzz word to them, says all we need to know about Democrats, their interests, and the isolation of their social circles. A phoenix can only rise from the ashes of this party.

Gen AI is a strategy to disempower the labor force. It is bringing about austerity by reducing human labor demand, killing jobs, dumbing down the public, inflating and soon bursting an enormous financial bubble, and bailing out the ruling class on the backs of taxpayers.

Zohran Mamdani told NBC’s Kristen Welker he wants Hakeem Jeffries to stay Dem leader & become Speaker if Dems win House. On Fri., Jeffries was 1 of 86 Democrats who backed a GOP-led res. “condemning socialism.” Mamdani also opposed fellow dem socialist Chi Ossé’s primary challenge against Jeffries.

"Last quarter, the average job opening received 242 applications — nearly triple the amount in 2017, when the unemployment rate was at a comparable level. That means that when someone submits a resume today, they have the abysmally low 0.4% chance of actually getting the job."

All these tech companies like Meta knew this was a bubble and structured these SPVs to get the equity bump while keeping the risk off the balance sheets. When this scheme eventually implodes, people need to go to prison. We can't have this happen again without consequences.

They're offloading all the debt onto special purpose vehicles (SPV) that are legally distinct entities propped up by promises from meta for decades of demand in compute. The banks take all the risk, Nvidia gets the equity and revenue, Meta gets the stock bump without the downside.

In a system that generates so much wealth disparity, the rich can just inject harmful junk products into the public without a true market demand. And when you realize that market demand is also an asinine way to steer a society, you see how far removed we are from any responsible path forward.
The goal is to make AI too big to fail and to do that you gotta push it through in a hurry before anyone stops you
