Don’t worry: “AI” doesn’t actually seem to work, no matter how much data you give it.

Television isn’t very good.

Star wars is so terrible.

So right now Trump is saying that in 15 days they’ll ‘reevaluate’ all the restrictions.

Eminent domain, tax subsidies, fuel subsidies, the military (in other words: tax subsidies), periodic bailouts.

I mean let’s be honest: GameStop closing for a few weeks is financially the same as GameStop closing forever.

That also works.

Nogod help me, I’m now actually looking forward to the early release of Onward on April 3, just ‘cause it’ll be something new for my kid (and me) to enjoy. Everything I heard about it’s dumb jokes and stupidity are now *attractive points*.

Boy if only we had some sort of general-interest website through which we could all collectively Gawk at this situation . . .

Bullshit. There’s no ‘private money’. The only reason these VC and hedge fund and billionaire fortunes exist is because of tax cuts and tax subsidies and business credits and Irish/Dutch ‘tax sandwich’ arbitrage and GOVERNMENT R&D grants.

Because the government refuses to subsidize rails the way they do every other form of transportation.

I’ll do it: I deny that VC is useful. It should be done away with.

That’s exactly the way it should be.

VCs still have their place

The issue is that VC shouldn’t exist. VC is a symptom of a disease called “Undertaxation” where rich people have too much money, to the point where the only thing they have left to try to obtain is “more money” and so we get Juicero and Fyre Festival and Theranos and other silliness. Take more of rich people’s money…

I’m kind of curious: How many gay or trans people does Netflix think there are? Follow up: How deep do they think do they think straight people’s interest in gay or trans people is? If the answer to the second question is “bottomless” then maybe they need to reexamine their assumptions.

Truck drivers aren’t paid very much now. Why would you want them to be paid less?

Could they just hire a taxi?

Or we could just build trains.

Driving is a really complicated task set.
