The big deal from this is that wages from services is going to crater whether or not AI delivers on its promise. When you increase the labor pool this significantly, you are going to see massive drops in wages.

That’s probably why the government is saying nothing in the chat is classified.

The difference here is that the federal government doesn’t run elections, states do. Obviously, Trump is trying to set up a way to invalidate future elections, but Trump doesn’t have power on who can vote.

Thanks leftists for not showing up to town hall meetings to push for universal coverage, choosing to cede the discussion to the Tea Party.

That’s not even remotely legal. The Federal Government doesn’t set limits on who can vote, states do.

This is why the Cod Wars happened, so I’m not surprised.

I know there was a major disagreement between the local skilled labor and TSMC because the locals used a different, but still as effective, method of joining pipes. TSMC wanted to use Taiwanese labor instead who fitted pipes the way TSMC was used to.

I think about that in regards to World War II.

As bad as the destruction of World War II was, it could have been a lot worse if technology had developed an additional decade. Hell, having nuclear weapons first deployed as a weapon of mass destruction helped keep it from being deployed in later wars.

Maybe the USA was going to go fascist no matter what, so time travelers picked the most incompetent fascist.

Long term, Americans have been bad at making idiots feel shame for their idiocy. There is less of a societal push to make people conform to societal pressure. On one end, this leads to great creative freedom for artists. On the other end, it creates the born again movement.

Medium term, LBJ oversaw the collapse of economic leftism as he was trying to include civil rights legislation and the Vietnam War. This lead to the stagnation of American salaries, but it took a while for people to notice that quality of life wasn’t improving for everyone. Also, conservatives realized they could create parallel media in a way to control public sentiment.

Short term, the Great Recession and COVID made it clear that quality of life wasn’t as bulletproof as people thought. As a response, some people want to bring back “the good old days”, not realizing/remembering that the good old days had a lot of bad to it that was covered up.

Or Clooney’s character in Up In The Air ends up retiring in Florida, making him a very eligible bachelor.

Android is open source except for Google Play Services. Other major companies attempted to gain market share in Android but couldn’t because of the power of Google’s monopoly.

I don’t see how a consortium fixes this.

Why the fuck would they delete the content?

The studio owns the content outright, so streaming rights costs should be nothing.

TL;DR, a majority of migrants are coming from Venezuela, most of whom don’t go north. Colombia is absorbing many of those immigrants the best they can as is other South American countries. Peru and Chile are starting to limit immigration, Brazil and Colombia are still relatively open and welcoming.

I feel like there are a few things not noted in the article:

1. The relative economic value of labor has dropped significantly as the developing world has developed and the developed world has seen greater labor participation. Efficiency rose, but so did the supply.

2. The supply of housing has not not kept up as part of the economy, especially low income housing. The lack of housing supply generally drives wages up in economically productive areas, making it so we have to work longer.

The beginning of the EU started to keep France from trying to invade the Saarland again.

This is a reason why there is a push for an EU military. Right now, there isn’t a functional EU body which can launch the nukes.

I’ve read estimates that, given the technology needed for production, a country like Japan could develop a functioning nuclear device within a month.

It depends on the systems of alliances and international commitments against a first strike. For instance, the Iran-Iraq War went on for several years and included the deployment of chemical weapons. I’m pretty sure that a nuclear exchange would be tolerated.

While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.

X3 highlights this.

It depends on how the standard was made, with the decisions generally made to fit specific reasons and no overarching standard.

There are also clothes that use more than one number. A lot of mens pants use two numbers; the same with formal mens shirts.
