“Rules for thee but not for me” is the narcissist’s core value.

Privatizing the USPS would disproportionately harm those who vote for the politicians who are advocating for privatization, which would track.

Props to their marketing team. Here we are talking about it just like they wanted.

She should sue and get a ruling on this kind of intimidation in order to protect the free speech of others in the future.

What you are describing is Narcissistic Personality Disorder behavior. It is psychological abuse.

This stuff is probably inevitable since economics will drive data collection. What we really need is a digital bill of rights to protect everyone. Recording in public without consent also needs to end.

It’s some Sun Tzu shit. Create a sense of inevitability such that they win the war for financial capital without any fighting, then hope the tech catches up before Capitalists realize they’ve been fleeced. The Dotcom bubble was the same scam.

You are correct ESOP was what I was thinking of. Thank you for the correction. Worked great for Bob’s Red Mill I believe. Glad to hear it’s been a success for you and your company.

We should be encouraging employee stock purchase plans with tax incentives. [0] It’s better for the businesses and better for our communities than PE.

A lot of this AI stuff seems to be about creating a feeling of inevitability along with FOMO among investors who don’t know any better, while hoping the tech catches up to the expectations before everyone realizes it’s not quite there yet. Reminds me a lot of the Dot-Com bubble where everyone could see the potential but the ideas were too early for both the culture and the tech. Unfortunately dark gpus have a much shorter shelf life than dark fiber.

This is a systems problem, not a human problem. It was inevitable that any weaknesses in the system would eventually be exploited. We should focus on fixing the system so this cannot happen again.

The most likely outcome is that no one will be punished for anything in the Epstein files.

Probably this bit on page 4, which parent comment addresses: “More efficient cooling architecture taking advantage of higher ΔT in space.”

This should not be legal.

I think at some point it would be more useful to talk about this and other behavior by this administration from a mental health perspective.

Sounds pretty invasive for privacy, if this was ever paired with smart glasses in public.

No Apple Pencil Ultra? What a missed opportunity.

Capitalists only care about capital. Witness how fast the DEI stuff was jettisoned once it was determined to be unprofitable under the current administration.

Would this count as libel? It’s a publication of a false, damaging statement in a fixed form (writing, print, picture, broadcast) that harms a person's reputation, exposing them to hatred, contempt, or ridicule.

Regarding option (2), isn’t SCOTUS supposed to rule on the legality of Trump’s tariffs soon?

“In 1969, Schenck was largely overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio, which limited the scope of speech that the government may ban to that directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).”

Won’t this destroy any small seller who can’t compete on price?

Probably sexual division of labor.

The wife of a presidential aide saying something is not worthy news.

Perhaps we should adopt a system that doesn’t create, or rely on, poverty?

Not according to our current economic system.

In Capitalism, the economy exists to provide for Capital.

If the residency restrictions were removed the labor market would work as intended. We’re doing this to ourselves to protect private profits at the expense of people’s lives.

If all this stuff that happens during Trump’s presidency gets normalized, and not reversed and severely punished, it’s going to get worse. They’ll push the Overton Window as far as they can in their pursuit of power.

We shouldn’t need to count on voters dying to avoid outcomes like this. Our institutions are broken if they can’t protect the public from a mentally ill public official on a power trip.

Lots of lawsuits forthcoming. Who’s going to pay for them? We are.
