“Please come inside.” - Target CEO, reminiscent of “Please clap” Jeb Bush.

There’s a tariff for that.

I trust you’ve volunteered for it to replace you then. It being so beneficial to society, and all.

It means less people do more work.

And then those people no longer working… do what, exactly? Fewer well-paying jobs, same number of people, increasing costs. Math not working out here.

The fact that people are being replaced means that AI actually has tremendous value for our society.

Oh, it has value. Just not for society (it could that’s the sad part). For very specific people though, yeah, value. Just got to step on all the little people along the way, like we’ve always done, eh?

Yeah, rather than volunteering its more likely you lack a basic characteristic of humanity some of like to refer to as “empathy” instead. And if – giving you the benefit of the doubt – you’re just a troll… well, my statement stands.

Merrick Garland. That AG’s name is Merrick Garland. It should not be forgot. Merrick Garland. He sat on his ass just like Mitch McConnell thinking things would magically work themselves out without needing to do their jobs and lo and behold things did not magically work themselves out.

Dude, 9/11 was “never forget” – it was forgotten by the 15th year. The lessons of World War II? Not a lot of faith left in the ol’ education system these days. (I know that’s America centric, but I bet this trend isn’t unusual for most places)

Guys (and Gals), hold on now. Sure, it’s a recall for all Cybertrucks, but don’t overreact! I’m sure an over-the-air software patch is incoming to fix this issue!

(That’s a joke.)

“This disaster has rung a big alarm for Sino-Metals Leach and the mining industry,” [says company directly responsible.]

Yeah, no it hasn’t. This isn’t the first mining dam to fail with consequences. It won’t be the last. No one at that company is losing sleep over this.

Both mines have now halted their operations after orders from Zambian authorities, while many Zambians are angry.

Gotta let it die down. Placate the masses. Then back to business as usual.

Realistically, this makes no difference.

Denying Tesla the sale of a second car to a second person makes no difference because they already got the first sale of the first car? Pretty sure Tesla would prefer to sell two cars instead of one, and get the profit directly. There is an assumption here that the original buyer (who sold the car) went and bought another Tesla, which is in conflict with the other poster saying people should sell their Tesla (as it move away from the brand).

The only ones who will buy Teslas now are conservatives and they will buy new ‘just to show support for Musk’.

So, let them. It’s still not getting Tesla what they ultimately want – money – long as the original owner doesn’t buy a Tesla themselves.

Subscriptions might be an argument that Tesla could still profit, but then the question is where/how do they profit more from ownership?

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup Truck has entered the chat.

205-kWh capacity battery [three times the size in a crossover], still gets only 275 miles [2023 version].

2020: “I can’t believe they fell for that. Oh, well, they chose better next time. Let’s give them a chance.”

2024: “…Yeah, they’re just fucking dumb. Countless countries would have loved a chance to get rid of a shitstain like that without needing a violent revolt and the United States just… invited him back into office. Just… so fucking dumb.”

The United States has a history of organizing campaigns to crush terrorist organizations. A month ago, the United States designated six cartels as terrorist organizations, which prompted Mexico to issue a warning about the United States attempting any sort of invasion or incursion. This is also occuring in tandem with the current President of the United States going on about taking Greenland and Panama, and how Canada should be part of the United States, which was also interpreted as a suggestion of a hostile takeover.

And then there are reports of them having been mulling options since November, talk of it by political candidates in 2023, talk by sitting members of Congress and even legislation introduced in support of it within Congress.

Not so curiously, these acts have been exclusively done by Republicans, also known as the Right-Wing.

Of course, if you could show that Democrats were as keen on the idea of invading Mexico, then calling it right-wring would be in error.

Well, you’d have to ask, was there a reason they took Alaska? They might have a good reason. Maybe they think there was something wrong with how we bought it from them. They might feel we took advantage of them. I mean, wouldn’t you sympathize with someone that felt taken advantage of? They’ll have a good reason. Russia wouldn’t do anything on a whim. Not just to enrich themselves or establish a beachhead for the rest of the continental Americas; surely not.

Of course… even if it were a beachhead… Russia might have a good reason, and we like Russia, they’re good friends. Maybe we should join together in some kind of union…
