Does anyone else think 90GW of power for AI (not to mention the cost in water and infrastructure) is asking too much? Meanwhile, affordable EVs are too power-hungry...

I'd rather eat once per month at a truly fine dining restaurant than eat multiple times per month at fast food restaurants. Typically, I spend less, and I leave the meal feeling satisfied and impressed.

Solution to H1Bs: Mandate their pay be the average American salary for the position + 50%. This pays them for their role in solving urgent needs but also incentivizes companies to start training or hiring Americans for cheaper labor.

I think I'll start throwing solutions out on this platform for American problems. Nothing perfect, but let's stimulate some brainstorming.

Early Adopters: AI will change the world. AI: *Cold and calculated, determines perfect pricing scheme to charge rent to human beings low enough that they can barely afford it but high enough that they are essentially enslaved to their work in order to simply afford rent.

When there is a problem, we vote. When voting fails, we protest. When protest fails, we unionize. When all else fails, we have our guns. If the US government and corporations do not listen to people, they will get violent. I'm not advocating for violence, but I am pointing out human behavior.

@aoc.bsky.social Could we try for zero interest student loans in 2025? For people with $30,000 in student loans at 6.8%, that is a $11,000 savings over 10 years. Many have even bigger loans.

I want to see Elon Musk's citizenship paperwork. How the hell does a South African billionaire get to text Congress and completely tank their work?

The saddest part about the shooting of Brian Thompson is that the focus has been on the shooter and the victim. Instead, we should be demanding legislation to protect our healthcare and stop all of these penny-pinching denials!

Gen Z is the lost generation of the 21st Century. Millenials, we need to show the rest we are best. Help Gen Z and Alpha become the next successful generation. We are the bridge from the past to the future. We must win elections and create the opportunity for them to flourish.

Maintenance is an important part of life. While it can be frustrating to repeat things over and over in this world of short form content, it can be meditative and also a good workout. No weights required!

This is really good. It applies to a lot of other things, too.

I'll be frank. I'm a New Dealer. I believe in hard work, taking care of our old and sick, and the rich being satisfied with less.

Anti-science and anti-expert views on the right don't make sense. Kind of like trying too hard to be DEI on the left. There are things experts know better than you. There are some forms of expression that are weird and inappropriate.

Bring back the National Youth Administration! Give our current generation of 16-25 year olds purpose and fundamental skills so they can take control of their own lives!
