It’s not complicated: We need a Corporate Token Tax to prevent worker displacement/aid workers that have been displaced. AI organizations who are, let’s be clear, developing doomsday technology, need to fund an independent research organization to defend the public against AI.

It’s unfortunate that this technology is coming along during a period of leadership vastly detached from the problems of our day. They cannot articulate an approximation of what AI is, and are failing to recognize the threat and take action. They are unable to regulate what they don’t understand.

Defending society from AI will need to be a bottom up movement. It is on us to save our future. Good luck everyone.

Every element of the “core dispute” created by one man. When will people say enough is enough?

Establish an AI token tax for corporate use. Penalize worker replacement with additional fee structure. Use revenues towards: - Universal Healthcare - Expanded Renewable Consumer Subsidies - Expanded “Safety Net” Programs - Childcare/Pre-K It’s possible.

The AI token tax needs to happen. The funds need to be earmarked towards job training and placement. It’s time to take this seriously.

Corporate AI usage needs to be taxed. Heavily. It is the only way to blunt the sting of coming job displacement. Earmark tax revenues for employment programs and strategic marketcraft.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

I could go on for hours. But the reformed resistance to Christian Nationalism is in part exegetical and partly church structure. Churches with strong magisterial control, have better resisted this movement. The more Wild West, mostly Arminian Churches (Baptist, Methodist, etc) have lacked the…

Strength in leadership to resist such a movement. The focus in these churches on individualism woven into theology makes it more amenable to a nationalistic mindset. It’s a serious problem in the American church. Worse than many non-churchgoers can appreciate.

I am open to the fact that Anthony Fauci wasn’t perfect. But to those who want him “in prison”, we need a few more facts. Your feelings cannot send him there. Or are you not the “facts don’t care about your feelings” party?

So republicans are not calling for Max Miller to drop out. If the deadline passes and they are stuck with him as a candidate, that isn’t looking great. This strategy is so poor. A likely R seat could be flipped blue WHILE damaging the sitting Senator Husted’s chances. He is quiet on this.
