I'm amazed that you could read a post that specifically says "we should NOT run the government like a business", and then lists SEVERAL reasons WHY we should NOT run the government like a business, and then conclude that, in fact, I'm advocating running the government like a business.

You're so blind with rage that you've:

  1. apparently forgotten how to read

  2. don't even realize that I'm not arguing with you and that we're actually on the same side of this issue

I'm saying this with love to you as my brother:

Your anger is making you extremely stupid, and you need to step back and cool down. Do some self reflection. Your brain is of no use to anyone, including you, when you're this high on blind rage.

If you actually watch the video, he says "spill the blood" like 4 times. He's saying how good the track record is. He keeps talking about "the people who need to die".

He's basically gushing blood just. Like he looks like he's literally horny for death.

He just says "just don't do any woke PC woke hearts/minds or nation building or democrat spreading". This is just parroting the lines that the WH themselves are saying.

It isn't saying "I recognize this text", it is saying "this text is AI generated".

And then it's offering a service to rewrite it, with ai, so that it can't be recognized as ai.

It's doing SOMETHING, for sure. I just don't think what it's doing results in accurate results for what it claims to measure.

I genuinely don't think I've ever gotten such an unhinged angry response after I've criticized capitalism and spoken support for strengthening public services.

There is an asymmetry of any control any of us has over anything.

The capacity anyone has to make anything worse far exceeds our ability to make things better.

Destruction is inherently easy. I think that's why weak people are drawn to it.

I work for a US Bank. I'm 83% sure I'm thinking of exactly what I think I'm thinking of.

At the risk of sounding like a tech bro...

I work for one of the largest banks in the world. The organizational inefficiency... incompetence... is staggering. That's a for profit hyper-capitalist enterprise. I used to wonder why banks keep needing bailouts. I don't wonder any more.

I don't want the government run like a business for 2 reasons:

  1. governments are to provide services, not to make profit

  2. BUISINESSES aren't even run well.

The operational waste, I can only imagine is staggering. I'd love it if actually smart people actually made improvements. Not just fucking McKinsey saying "fire 10% of people and necessity will breed efficiency"

As others have said, probably best to just enforce at the router level...

Before anyone goes to war, it's probably worth even clarifying if it's true or not. I had a roommate convinced I was "hogging bandwidth" but our internet was just shitty. Over copper. Very inconsistent. I had to literally shut off everything i had to convince them it wasn't even me.

They swore up and down it was me. There was a pattern. It was the only explanation.

Between the post itself, and then the comments... it really looks like the illusion of political discourse has completely replaced political discourse.

Has anyone actually said anything? Has any point been made? Supported? Refuted?

Gas prices are special because they're plastered all over roadways, which is important for cognition if you struggle with object permanence.

I think for the subset of people who are left still on the Trump train, this is actually a material consideration.

 
 
 

Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
