I’m not saying local is cheaper per say - I’m saying local is now comparably priced for better food. I can eat at good diner for the same price as McDonald’s now. The point of fast food was always cheap and fast over quality. Now all it offers is fast and even that is not a given. It’s just not worth it anymore.

I don’t know why anyone fucks with fast food these days. It’s expensive and mediocre. Plenty of local restaurants with better food in most towns.

Well put. This is just another version of the same old game. Over-leverage on hype, cash out, push the losses on the public, and the government cleans up the mess. 😡

“Morally binding” AKA Not actionable performative bull shit to appear to take warnings seriously.

I’m not saying I agree with the narrative. I’m saying it will be attempted and will be a problem before the legal system can catch up and address it. We will also be talking international law, which is trickier, as countries jockey to make friendly laws to get AI cash like Argentina. Especially with the tech industry constantly suing and lobbying.

Credit cards are a trillion dollar industry. Fraud is already a massive issue and it’s only grew. More and more places are going cashless for easier accounting and lower incidence of local theft. I highly doubt it’s going anywhere. It will become more of a hassle for consumers though - no doubt.

This is a big problem with AI, laws have not remotely caught up to these scenarios. Then you have Argentina creating legal structures for AI corporations that could essentially do this type of stuff, but evade prosecution because the corporation will give the owner limited liability and with no employees, the only punishment can be to shut down the corporation. Then they can spin up a new AI corporation and do it all over again in theory. Technology is advancing far beyond our ability to control it properly and tech bros don’t care much about consequences since they have historically been so minimal. Move fast, break shit is a psychopathic ethos.

Billionaires are pouring infinite money into right wing movements. They have no scruples and can pay anyone they need to get what they want done. The problem is capitalism because it creates extreme unelected power in an extremely small self interested minority. They also fund the power centers of the left to keep things from moving too far against them. Elections move on money far too much. In the end, you can’t have democracy and capitalism. Slowly capitalism always tries to swallow democracy.

You started the energy crisis because you’re dumb enough to let Benny flatter you into a war. Not Ukraine’s fault.

This is what capitalism does. Its endless profit growth requirement is not possible under any real market conditions. So it inevitably starts squeezing it’s own customers and degrading it’s own service to maintain these unrealistic demands for profit. The more consolidated the market becomes, the worse the outcomes. Anti-trust was always a half measure. The problem is capitalism is inherently unsustainable and can only lead to negative outcomes for it’s products and services over time. Nothing can grow infinitely and that pursuit will always collapse bringing societal pain.

I mean, Donnie boy done annihilated Iran 16 times. How much more winning you need? Pretty soon he going to be annihilating them with canon balls cause all the missiles got used up in the previous annihilations.

America over here calling up bestiality bros to fill FBI vacancies. Everything is under control under the reign of King Don’s stable genius.

That’s always been the game. It’s why America toppled Iran’s democracy back in the 50s.

How many times Donnie Small-hands gonna “Annihilate Iran” ?

We’ve already annihilated, we can’t annihilate any farther.

Joe Rogan is dumb. Why do we care about dumb guy opinions exactly?
