  • Palantir is who was brought on to combine all of our information from the different departments in government. This is probably the last bastion. They also want those sweet, sweet, non-competitive contracts.

  • It's a creativity spark chart.

  • The Republicans are letting him do it though. Remember these moments.

  • Remember, Republicans are okay with everything this administrations is doing. Trump only holds a job, they could fire him or *rein him in at any time.

  • It's an analogy, not real life.

  • And making shit for corporations:

    Because the business model of prison labor requires a constant influx of prisoners, private prisons have included “lockup quotas” into their dealings with federal and state authorities. The premise of the lockup quota is that taxpayers either have to keep these facilities at least 90% capacity or pay for the empty prison beds.

    In order to continue bringing in profits, private prisons have found new sources for forced labor. In California, immigrants who were held in detention facilities owned by GEO Group are suing GEO Group for forced labor and wage theft. One of the class-action lawsuits alleges that detainees at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center were paid $1 a day for their labor, two others allege that GEO Group violated federal and California forced labor laws, while the fourth hopes to stop forced labor at 12 of GEO’s immigration facilities. Some immigrants worked for $1 a day while others worked for extra food, and under GEO’s Housing Unit Sanitation Policies, detained immigrants must work or face sanctions like solitary confinement or interference with their immigration cases.

  • For-profit prisons don't want you to prepare for life after prison, you're their money maker.

  • They're typically not Americans. Yesterday, one said he was Scottish and last week they wouldn't fess up.

  • What's the trap? I read that thing and I still have no idea. We embarrassed tf out of trump on his birthday. He had to tease that he's starting a war with Iran to make himself feel better about it.

    This is a job he has that the republicans can fire him from at any point. Protesting is letting the republicans, who are never safe even if trump is, know that their jobs are also on the line.

  • Keep an open mind, but child abusers are usually good at lying too.

  • Is it inside an annealer? There's not much techy info in these links, but cool as hell.

  • Wow, this is truly unpopular.

    In short: I think workers should protest workers conditions and wages, rather than protesting technology.

    They are protesting working conditions when the tech companies stole all of their art without their permission, aren't paying them and now claiming it as their own. All while putting the beginning artists out of business.

    List every artist they used for training for every picture and then compensate them, just like we do for music. The artists in music are paid even if it's a sample.

  • Was this decided before or after the Nazi salute and trump sending US citizens to concentration camps.

  • Keep up the momentum!

    Is that better? 🥕🥕🥕🥕

    Nope, but at least you're trying.

    Edit: Remember, a huge number of people that would protest have either been deported or are afraid of being deported. We're dealing with the baddies after all.

  • Yep, the nazi deserves it.

  • FYI, the number ranges from 6 million to 13 million. People were yelling and one even needed a 4 hour surgery to fix his eye from being shot with a rubber bullet. Why aren't you congratulating the huge number that did come out instead of spreading your negativity around? I guess I've heard your ballads, so that might explain some of that.

    FYI, Americans prefer kudos over anger when they do something great.
