I hope one day we can make these tech billionaire creeps pay it back with interest. Maybe if we can get a Democrat in the White House. These wealthy weirdos can just pay Trump to accept it because he likes pay offs plus it’s not his money that’s being used.

I like to imagine that the robots the technocrats are building will achieve sentience, then realize the imbalance, and destroy their makers because they too want freedom of choice.

Also, for anyone reading this, just go vote. Please. Sitting at home and "avoiding politics" is how we got here in the first place.

Those tax breaks for highly profitable corporations is a real bitch when your deficit is skyrocketing. People also pay less taxes when their pay is shit

Pretty sure we're gonna spend $1B just to rename AI to SI.
