Lemmy is as bad for misinformation as anywhere else. The impulses that drive people to re-imagine reality in an image that suits them is not confined to right-wingers.
It is you all who will continually wonder why the world isn't working out the way you want it to and the way your ideology told you it should, and I am happy to agree to disagree, so block it is from here on out.
Your failure to deal with the reality poor, former working class people face has and will lead to the rise of the far right. Well done. Continue being right.
Unfortunately for you, and all of us, there is an increasing tranche of poor people who are directly suffering because of immigration.
We ignore these people at our peril because they will vote for the Trumpists if nobody else is representing their interests.
The middle classes enjoyed the benefits of cheap labour, in particular, but those who had their pay and conditions destroyed are not going to vote to be turkeys at somebody else's christmas party.
The US dollar has been global reserve currency. The US greatly benefited from this arrangement, more or less it is why, for instance, boomers were able to buy a house on one wage.
The US took in far more than it laid out over various hard and soft power initiatives. These soft power initiatives, and US military spending are essential for a country whose currency is to be considered a safe haven for investors - it projects fairness, power etc.
Trump is withdrawing the US from this role of great privilege in order to try and compete with India and China in being the world's factory, so it is inevitable it will end the concomitant mechanisms of soft power it employed in its former role as global reserve currency.
This is not a good deal for the average American; the rest of the world knows it is a crazy decision, the US voted for it a second time, when Trump was very clear on his intentions.
we are creators We enjoyed a short period of exponentially increasing complexity due to a massive amount of 'immediately free' energy afforded us through the burning of fossil fuels.
It isn't possible under capitalism. We need global cooperation, not competition. So, we are riding this horse off that cliff. We will evolve through crisis, rather than proactive change.
If you'd invested $100 a month as amazon lost money for years driving 'mom and pop' businesses, starting with those evil bookshop owners, out of business before exploiting monopoly, getting local authorities to pay to host their distribution centres while the employees need food stamps to survive, you'd be rich now. Capitalism works.
Bezos, former hedge fund guy who was given hundreds of thousands from family to start amazon, knows he is despised. He actually personifies the phrase 'shit-eating grin'.
Yeah the industry has been in the shit since credit and debit cards. A homeless guy with a chip and pin device to get donations is completely off-message for the brand
OP said 'what animal would you be if you were an animal?'
It is insulting to expect everybody to engage in conversation any time some moron expects it.
The respondent, reasonably said 'I'll ask chatgpt' which is a polite way of saying 'I'm not interested in this shite, Bore off, I'm not eight, leave me alone.'
OP then came online to make a big deal about it, claiming the respondent used chatgpt rather than socialising. Which itself is evidence of OP's character and evidence as to why one might not want to engage with the boring **** at work.
Wrong. The only thing there is evidence they did is use chatgpt to deflect a fucking boring conversation.
Now please leave me alone. This is all fucking obvious. I am just blocking any respondents to this message in order to avoid timewasting, thanks.
Edit - oh this is an anti-ai sub. OK, so anything done with ai is automatically bad, you have chosen a side and that is that.
:There is much to dislike about 'ai' technology - primarily its energy use, but the claims of intelligence is also something reasonable to dislike. There is much more to dislike about the people who own 'ai' and the uses they want to put it to, but that is neo-liberal capitalism you should be angry at, not 'ai'. This sub is misguided at best. Block it is.
Electricity.
Not fucking power.
