I’m not saying local is cheaper per say - I’m saying local is now comparably priced for better food. I can eat at good diner for the same price as McDonald’s now. The point of fast food was always cheap and fast over quality. Now all it offers is fast and even that is not a given. It’s just not worth it anymore.
I don’t know why anyone fucks with fast food these days. It’s expensive and mediocre. Plenty of local restaurants with better food in most towns.
Great article. Thanks.
Well put. This is just another version of the same old game. Over-leverage on hype, cash out, push the losses on the public, and the government cleans up the mess. 😡
“Morally binding” AKA Not actionable performative bull shit to appear to take warnings seriously.
I’m not saying I agree with the narrative. I’m saying it will be attempted and will be a problem before the legal system can catch up and address it. We will also be talking international law, which is trickier, as countries jockey to make friendly laws to get AI cash like Argentina. Especially with the tech industry constantly suing and lobbying.
This is a big problem with AI, laws have not remotely caught up to these scenarios. Then you have Argentina creating legal structures for AI corporations that could essentially do this type of stuff, but evade prosecution because the corporation will give the owner limited liability and with no employees, the only punishment can be to shut down the corporation. Then they can spin up a new AI corporation and do it all over again in theory. Technology is advancing far beyond our ability to control it properly and tech bros don’t care much about consequences since they have historically been so minimal. Move fast, break shit is a psychopathic ethos.
It’s an ouroboros. The ultra wealthy finance state actors till they become rich (insider trading,etc), then they enter the private sector and become even more filthy rich by getting executive jobs or board seats to lobby the next state actor they can corrupt. I always follow the money, because there are very few true believers actually in power.
Billionaires are pouring infinite money into right wing movements. They have no scruples and can pay anyone they need to get what they want done. The problem is capitalism because it creates extreme unelected power in an extremely small self interested minority. They also fund the power centers of the left to keep things from moving too far against them. Elections move on money far too much. In the end, you can’t have democracy and capitalism. Slowly capitalism always tries to swallow democracy.
Years away but they’ll catch up quick if Taiwan gets absorbed by China which is looking more and more likely. Taiwan has lost faith in American backing for obvious reasons and the nationalist party is gaining steam for a deal with China.
Representatives don’t corrupt on their own. The easiest path to keeping your job as a rep is to do what people want. The capitalists corrupt the representatives with the money to get things tipped their way. I don’t blame the lung cancer, I blame the cigarette for causing it.

I mean, Donnie boy done annihilated Iran 16 times. How much more winning you need? Pretty soon he going to be annihilating them with canon balls cause all the missiles got used up in the previous annihilations.
That’s always been the game. It’s why America toppled Iran’s democracy back in the 50s.
How many times Donnie Small-hands gonna “Annihilate Iran” ?
We’ve already annihilated, we can’t annihilate any farther.
So they pulled a reverse Ed Sheeran.
Fuck these stupid ass religions forcing their beliefs on people. Your god is a lie made up by the ruling class to control you and get you to die in their wars.
