This isn't even your regular face eating.

Elon tried to support Trump the first term, and was on some committee, but he left when Trump was talking about leaving the Paris accord as it was against his climate goals with EVs.

Only to get back in bed with him a 2nd time.

So this is two face eatings from the same person.

He also likely has a shit ton of data from all the siphoning DOGE did that could be weaponized.

You wouldn't be able to access twitch. You'd have to buy cable TV or an antenna for the free channels. Either way media wins via commercials.

I'm actually against a wealth tax, but think one of the only ways that taking their unrealized assets can work is if we do as you suggest.

If you own stock in something, taxing unrealized gains isn't good. it's not like were going to pay them for unrealized losses.

But we MUST stop them from being able to actualize those unrealized gains without taxing them like when they use their unrealized assets as collateral. It's like a loophole for the ultra wealthy where they can just borrow against their assets for their entire life without paying taxes on it.

And really... who cares if this way might be more expensive to do, they're rich as fuck, and can pay for it as part of that tax. Also assets can be very nebulous and hard to know what they actually have. But when you see that new house, new yacht, donation to a SPAC or whatever, the IRS can come knocking and be like how'd you pay for that.

I mean the data IS sanitized, but not to the level that would have required certain human things to not happen.

Part of what's led to its improvement over the years is better going through the data and removing bad things or properly labeling them.

That left turn that was cut to short makes it into the first set of training as a cursory look at it seemed okay, and then they see that cars are cutting turns to short. So they go through the data again and try to find examples of it and then label them properly so it doesn't think it's okay.

But that's not a simple process, and then trying to only have certain good behaviors gets really hard because they're actually very uncommon in normal driving because the bad behavior is socially acceptable.

Citizens United was the final straw in the downfall of America democracy.

It's been inevitable since.

Unless it's overturned it's over, and I don't think they can overturn it.

I think they said the judge didn't have the right to block it nation wide, only for the states that sued, which was 22 or something like that.

I missed that yesterday they also destroyed 2 and damaged 2 fighter jets. That's quite the 2 day win there.

AI has some good uses!

17th biggest in the world. I was surprised when I learned that.
