I remember when a 2x4 at Home Depot was $13 under Biden, now it’s $3.50.
But yeah let’s all keep bitching about a temporary gas spike which will go down in a month or so.

@misfitpatriot_ A dozen eggs at Publix this morning was $2.00. Remember when it was $8.00?

@itsbogsbody What purpose does hunting a single soldier with a drone serve
English
Every drone video out of Lebanon or the Iran war is of them skillfully navigating their way to a hardened target or group of soldiers, whereas every video out of Ukraine is just them chasing down some random 24 year old.
WarRoom Archives@WarRoomArchives
Ukrainian drone dives to strike a Russian soldier, but on approach it finds he has already taken his own life. War is neither as entertaining as in video games nor as romantic as in movies.

Bad news, dude:
If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school.
Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from.
Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

The number of jobs in the future is endless because the problems to solve are endless.
Jobs multiply as we get more complex.
No AI or human can solve all problems and all the work to do in the Universe because those problems are limitless. The problems are endless and infinite.
Technology and automation are nothing but abstractions. The old way gets automated and we move up the stack to solve more problems.
We used to live in mud huts.
Hammers and nails and boards automated parts of the old problem of "build a place to live."
Once solved we got more complex houses and buildings that brought their own problems as they brought more complexity, so we got new jobs like stone mason and architect and more. Complexity breeds new problems and new solutions and new jobs.
When we got steel and concrete we got skyscrapers.
Each problem solved is an abstracted solution for a previous problem that stacks on top of other abstractions.
That's all that automation and technology is at the deepest levels.
The jobs are endless because the problems to solve are endless.
Understand this and you understand the future.
Misunderstand it and your error compounds and radiates out, corrupting your understanding.

Brilliant explanation from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on AI's job effect: In software, AI makes coding faster, but that does not mean fewer engineers are needed. Before AI, we could write 1 billion lines of code; now, with AI, we can aim for 1 trillion.

@dantypo @antineocon911 You’re being a pedantic asshat and using circular logic to try and argue people don’t deserve more money
English
@antineocon911 You’re talking now with gas at its peak.
My daughter makes $14 (the starting pay around our parts) an hour at Chipotle.
When gas is normal ($3 a gallon) it takes her 3 hours.
In 1990, when gas was $1.20 & I made $3.35, that was 5 hours of work.
So tell me, what’s your point.
English
Am I the only one who still views minimum wage as gas money for your car and movie tickets for you and your date while you gain work experience in high school or at the bookstore in college?
When did it become a career wage?
JB Pritzker@JBPritzker
$7.25 an hour is about $14,000 a year. No one can survive on that. People can barely survive on double that. We raised the minimum wage in Illinois. It's long overdue everywhere else.

If both parties MAXXED OUT on gerrymandering, the House would end up with 262 Republicans to 173 Democrats -- according to leftist FiveThirtyEight.
That's because Republicans control more state governments with multiple districts, and Democrat voters congregate in cities. This makes it easy-peazy to pack Dem voters into fewer districts.
Time to play hardball. Let's do it . . . NOW!

Jensen is one the smartest and most far seeing folks the world.
"If an AI scientist warns people that AI is going to permeate across radiology and radiologists are going to get wiped out, it might seem helpful but it's hurtful. If we convince everybody not to be radiologists and we now need radiologists, that actually is hurtful to society.
"It is hurtful to convince all the young college graduates not to study software engineering because we are going to need more software engineers than ever.
That's hurtful."
"Scaring people with nonsensical things, which are not going to happen, that this is an existential threat, there's a 20% chance that is is existential, that's ridiculous.
"That it's going to wipe out 50% of college level jobs.
"That is it going to completely destroy democracy.
"These kinds of comments are not helpful. They are made by...CEOS. And you become a CEO, maybe you adopt a God complex and somehow you know everything."
Brutal.
And right.

The GOP's problem isn't so much that it's too conservative, but that its leader is repellant (and much of his inner circle retarded).
The Democrats' problem, on the other hand, is that, on some very important issues, it is simply too liberal for most Americans. Actually, "liberal" isn't even the right word. Crazy is the right word.
Literally all the Dems have to do is become more normal on immigration and "identity" issues, and they would pummel a MAGA-oriented GOP in national elections.
Swann Marcus@SwannMarcus89
Long term the Democrats are completely fucked. They keep moving left and 60% of American voters already think the Democrats are too liberal. The party is overwhelmingly hated and it will get worse The Democrats are only able to compete because Donald Trump is still alive
English
@TPCarney You re such a proudly arragant fool
English
You’re supposed to admit, if you support platner over collins, that every single time Dems claimed to hear a dog whistle from a Republican, the Dems and the reporters parroting the attack were all partisan liars.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
What is the upshot of the Platner tattoo discourse? Let's say I find his story fishy. I'm supposed to worry that this seemingly left-wing guy supported by all the left-wing people is secretly a Nazi just pretending to be a progressive populist?

Usually, new general purpose technologies don't have a big impact on productivity until people build whole new business models around them.

Three and a half years post ChatGPT and.. where’s the predicted sweeping labor market and productivity impacts? Anything big outside of software? We’re told just around the corner! Next model! Soon! Maybe. Or, maybe it’s not happening for structural reasons about generative AI.

Public schools in America have never had more funding.
We've increased education spending every year for the last half century.
Teachers who would rather spend a school day at a communist protest instead of teaching may just be a root of the problem.
Fox News@FoxNews
NOW: Thousands are gathering in Raleigh, North Carolina, for May Day protests. At least 11 school districts announced last-minute schedule changes, leaving parents scrambling to make childcare arrangements, according to reports. Teachers planned to participate in "Kids Over Corporations" protests, organized by the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE). Protesters are calling for increased funding for public education.

@politicalmath I just watched Democrats in my state elect a man who openly texted about shooting another man in the head and then watching his very small children suffer and die in their mother's arms.
Democrats will elect anyone with a D in front of their name.
English
@LoveAndMoney15 @conorsen Yeah man, tell us more about how more tax credits is what people really need
English
@conorsen The problem with "progressive" Dem ideas is that they don't work.
Structural graft/disorder and indulgence of every mental disorder under the sun do not make good policy.

@chriswithans @IAPolls2022 Go fuck yourself you piece of shit — you exposed yourself for the fraud you are and now look like a complete fool. Pathetic
English
The demand for self-gaslighting among Democrats continues to rise even as their prospects continue to dim.
I’d feel bad for them but they want this. They actually want to be fooled into thinking they are more popular than they are so they can deny elections after they lose.
Tale as old as time.

@MiddleearthMixr I want to be able to walk across the Grand Canyon on the skeletal remains of Marxists
English
There is a very real and unbridgeable divide in this country. I have experienced it first hand.
I have hob nobbed with the most Libbed out Libs at happy hours and ball rooms in DC, and I have attended get togethers around bonfires in deep red rural Virginia.
One group wants to be left alone, and one group, in a very real sense not an abstract one, wants the other eliminated.
I’m pro doing whatever we can to secure our safety for as long as we have to.

@Isaiahii1 @MiddleearthMixr I’m your huckleberry motherfucker — you’re gonna find a bunch of old boomers aren’t capable of war

I'm as far-right as one can possibly be and there is nothing I want more than all "moderates" and liberals eliminated.
They both are a scourge and plague that subvert and corrupt all that is holy, just, righteous, and true.
Until the Christian Right wakes up to the fact that there can and never will be peace with our enemies, what we love and know to be true will continue to be overthrown.
If our enemies ever get total power, they will hunt us down like animals. They are waging war; it's time we do the same. No compromise. No mercy. Either we, or they, will be eliminated.
