There is this system where we can compare the relative value of an activity and its relative impact on other activities. It's called prices. When you let them work correctly you don't have to guilt people.

Funny. In the tech world we see zoom vs google meet as zoom is for people who have exclusively soft skills I don't want to talk to anyway. When I see a google meeting I know I'm going to be talking to someone useful.

I like how AI note takers are basically converting the useless act of a meeting into an email because an email is a better product that someone can reference.

If you meeting needs to be converted into an email to make it useful maybe you should just write more emails and have fewer meetings.

It will lead to more dark money. It's very hard to accurately measure a persons net worth when their financials aren't just a house and an IRA like the average person. Especially if they don't want you to see it. You'll never be able to implement that tax in a consistent way.

They will just live in other countries if being a billionaire is illegal.

It's funny. A lot on the right say the same thing about their representatives. They even call them RINOs (republican in name only). Funny how when republicans take control the spending goes up anyway.

It's almost like either party doesn't actually do what they say they do and have an entirely different agenda. It would be interesting to see on what issues congressional dems and republicans agree on that the public disagrees with them on. That might tell us what the actual agenda is.

There is something people are missing with Bernie. Bernie does happen to be Jewish, but he is not a Zionist, unlike for example Chuck Shumer. Then Hillary is not Jewish but she is a Zionist.

The control system prefers Zionists for legislative positions but they absolutely require Zionists for administrative positions. So much so they won't let someone escape a primary without the machine kicking into play. Even at the state level.

What it actually makes them is zionist controlled opposition. You don't get zionist occupied government without having zionist occupied parties. The US government does whatever is good for Israel even if it is bad for the American people, so yes, we have zionist occupied government.

So you shouldn't be surprised that the current in power dems have more loyalty to that than any ideology / policy take. It's a club and they have to maintain it by controlling who's in it.

The guy, unfortunately for him, has a very human and natural position on Gazan genicide. And that's just not permissible.

It's very simple. One of these people blindly supports Israel no matter what it does, up to and including genocide, and the other one doesn't.

What was right wing about him?

 

The second a ceasefire was mentioned I called it and said, "Ceasefires in general never work". Because they don't.

Ceasefires are agreed on by both sides when both sides need domestic publicity of the other side breaking it. Because 100% of them are broken every time. Anyone who negotiates a ceasefire knows this. I know it and it's not what I do for a living.

What this means is that this war is not popular with any population of any country. So all countries needed a publicity stunt to continue the war longer term. What ceasefires do is let people focus on immediate events instead of recognizing the illegitimacy of the war in the first place. We should ignore the subject of the ceasefire because there never was one, because there never is one, because ceasefires don't work and never have. It's a tiny meaningless blip in the whole scheme of things.

War has momentum. It's happening. And Donald Trump got us involved so every American death that comes over the next 5-20 years of its continuance is his fault because he values Israel above American lives. It's simple. Someone should explain that to his face just to see his response. Ask him why he values Israel over America. Even the media left won't do that and they hate Donald Trump. Which really shows the media is the deep state and an arm of the military industrial complex. They are just a less overtly structured form of state sponsored media. The deep state has no regard for American opinions. It shapes American opinions. To them Israel is important even if most Americans couldn't give a flying fuck.

Some will say the deep state doesn't exist. But the deep state is any time the government (on average) holds an opinion that differs from the public's opinion independent of what party is in power. Deep state is a spectrum. It's how much of the government public will has no impact on. Of course that's not zero. And any time the government attempts to shape public opinion that it is evidence of deep state because that's a part of the government thinking its job is to conform the public opinion to theirs instead of conforming their opinions to ours. And this is what the war machine does. So yes. There is a deep state.

Trump complains about it because sometimes he's aligned with it and sometimes he is not aligned with it. Now that the subject is Israel he doesn't mind the deep state so much.
