Banks: middle to long term loan? Very high interest rate or just not available.

Government: don’t look at us, budget cuts

Companies: panic

That’s basically AI pr0n for women.

They’re following a very simple doctrine. You give the people an enemy, real or even created out of whole cloth, and then you fight them. People rally around the leaders and they get money, votes, power and adoration thrown at them. The requirement is a complete lack of morality and a maxed out hunger for power.

But it’s pretty fun when the customer says your program does it wrong and you pull out that old Excel, plug in the data and their Excel does exactly the same as your program. It makes the discussion about billable hours a lot easier.

Dump to an Excel sheet and ask them to make a formula for “active”. A client that can’t use Excel deserves to be teased and be charged extra.

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and,

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%

So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, Bullshit and Ass Kissing will put you over the top.

That conclusion is no surprise. It’s exactly what the Chinese said they were going to do and they’ve been loyally following the plan. They’ve been using the inherent weakness of market systems against itself. Of course other car makers and governments are terrified as they have to do the unthinkable and abandon shareholders and short term profits and strip more freedom from the free market.

Turns out that technically they don’t have wealth, just a lot of loans with paper assets as collateral.

To name a few:

• the classic riot, violence and/or revolution
• the coup
• organizing through unions and have general strikes until things change
• sustained peaceful protest
• voting
• switching to a different (underground) economic system
• massive emigration

All come with some serious downsides of course.

First you need to stop money from systematically flowing to the top or that dividing is only going to be a temporary measure.

The article doesn’t mention in any way the cost. The rough calcifications for a system like this usually say that installation, replacements and transmission systems are an order of magnitude more expensive eliminating any advantage over ground based solar with batteries.

I just wanted simple updates from the people i follow in a chronological order. But no, it had to be by the algorithm, all in seemingly random order, and the feed full of slop I didn’t ask for being force fed like I’m a turkey being prepared for the holidays, That’s why I left.

You lay out the bare facts. Proof is demanded. You lay out proof: studies, papers, data. The response is that the data is made up and that these so-called scientist and experts are not to be trusted. That’s followed up that it’s all the fault of Kamela anyway because she slept her way to the top or something similar. Oh yes, great conversations.

We’ve also been trying to explain facts but that’s even less effective.

It probably needs a movie where red cap wearing idiots are made angry and Farquaated repeatedly in increasingly ludicrous ways before any sinks in.

Welcome to modern society where facts don’t matter and all feelings are made up.

The long arc of history says any empire, and the USA is a modern version of one, will collapse as any other empire in history has. In general this is been accompanied by greedy men trying to get all power and wealth for themselves by any means necessary. Seems it’s all right on track. Musk and Trump will be remembered as big players in the downfall.

Because they figure that if quantum competing does happen, it’s going to be huge and if you’re invested early you’ll make big profits. So they take the gamble and buy stocks now just in case.

These are the people with enough money to go around to gamble on a bunch of stuff like this to play that odds. Statistically one of those bets is going to hit the jackpot and they earn all those bets back with a big profit.

That sounds pretty familiar
