get in the vat.

Lots of Roger Rabbit energy there

15% of people make $100k in the USA. That means 85% care and a large part of them are not in a good shape.

Paying tribute to King Donald the First, pledging fealty and be granted the title Duke of Cyberspace.

Seems these systems don't need to shoot. It has interceptor drones. These can fly into the spy drone, so the rich guy can just claim it was a mid-air collision and offer to pay back the owner if they just identify themselves.

That's Accelerationism for you. The goal is to totally distort society and rebuild in their image

the feed sorted by “new,”

Yeah, and it went from "let's just add some stuff" to outright "we will force feed you this slop and you will like it" from there. It felt like you were a goose being prepped for Christmas' foie gras.

Businesses that were too successful are also called monopolies, and have a chilling effect on entrepreneurship all in their own.

Median wage in USA is about $20/h, so the actual numbers say there are a lot of people being closer to having trouble making ends meet. Even then, the ratio matters a lot. It's the difference between "we're all in this together" and "some of you won't make it but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make". In the latter situation there is a lot more resentment and sympathy for violence.

Ah, an upgrade for Lenny the chatbot. It can drive scammers nuts.

So you're saying large corporations need to be broken up into smaller businesses I avoid concentrating too much wealth in upper management.

That's actually been studied. Turns out that about 40 is the tipping point for most people, as in CEO earnings 40 times more than the lowest paid workers. Up to that point people think they boss earns it, above that resentment starts to grow.

They're at 700. Yeah, that's dangerous. People are very sensitive about relative earning for work. Fairness is just hard wired into all animals and it's dangerous to ignore this, although humans react a bit later and that gives a false sense if security for those at the top.

The equivalent of dukes, barons and other modern nobility need to pay tribute to the new king. It's a tradition as old as humanity itself.

Those goes back to the concept of anacyclosis, or social cycle theory. After democracy comes ochlocracy, concentration of wealth and demagogues, what turns into a form of monarchy.

While the link between pollution and autism is very clear, but people still vote for drill baby drill.

I've seen the Sorry to bother you. I recall the jail/sweat shop thing. Seems like conditions in many Asian places.

I was thinking more of The Black Hole (1979). They used this concept in a way. And that was even a Disney movie.

They're really into cable cutting these days. Maybe we should help.

It's so easy to imagine camps where they implant the homeless with a neuralink chip, dress them up in an Optimus suit and put them to work in a mega factory.

Pure documentary is curiosity stream.

1 to 3 Watt in stand-by mode for s lamp that draws somewhere between 7 and 15 Watt when on. That's roughly like leaving the lamp on for at least on hour and half each day when nobody is home in the best case.

It wouldn't be the first time one guy shooting another guy triggers something massive. I mean, that's how world war 1 started.
