Political junkie, realizing politics is just one facet of humanity. Voracious reader, constantly inquisitive, trying to learn at least two new things every day. Auto-didact, but not pedantic. I don't follow accounts set up to sell merch.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.

I think this will be the endgame for any entity that wants to preserve the integrity of its testing processes including job interviews. It’s too difficult to outpace AI-based cheating at this point.
