But Cheney never profited from any of that increased work. He donated every single investment profit from Halliburton stock (since he was paid in it and held it as VP) to charity. That's like 1000x less corrupt than even one of the 3 s

Cheney didn't increase his profit one dime from his connection to Halliburton while or after his stint as VP.

But we decided as a country long long long ago that we wouldn't abet abuse, unwarranted search and seizure, and would treat people as innocent until proven guilty even if that meant elevated crime was the price to pay for that

They got it when the PATRIOT ACT was passed. That was the proof that all our rights and liberties are conditional, and Trump uses the revelation of that back then to pull off everything he is doing now

That's crazy lol, how do you watch the President pump and dump Trumpcoin and then come back for pt. 2 with Melaniacoin and think corruption is down?

> short-sighted neoliberal trade deals and hostility to organized labor, which accelerated the process of hollowing out the country What if they weren't short-sighted and not hostile? Look at Germany, which did not do this and inste

Can you prove any corruption from another President similar to one very obvious case of corruption, where the UAE invested in a very clearly scam crypto company run by Trump's family (who have no crypto expertise) and then very soon af

by aprilthird2021 1mo ago
Prove him wrong. Show us documented cases of corruption from, say Obama, or Biden, or Bush Jr. And then we'll compare it to the documented cases of Trump corruption, starting with his 2 crypto pump-and-dump schemes and his family'

I see how it won't lead to massive job loss every day, idk. Now every idiot has a massive slop code cannon they can point at any working system and bombard it and we all have to sift through and find the nuggets and gems in the rough

100% in real life where everyone has an AI there are new problems to deal with. There's a lot of correcting AI slop code. There's a lot of having to read AI generated slop docs and posts and PR comments. There's a lot of eval

You'll be fine. All these AIs still need direction, drive, and prompts. And it'll still be important to evaluate their output and correct it. And you'll be more productive and able to do more tasks quicker than usual with you

Every closed source software has the potential to centralize and lock you out of it. This has been true before and will be true after the AI bubble (not saying AI isn't useful but the current valuations will pop at some point, just lik

No it does not take $550k/yr to buy a $1.6M house. But all this will vary based on your timelines what your nest egg currently looks like, etc. But also, you don't have to buy a house. Median rent, groceries, car payment, etc. in

That's a huge amount even in San Francisco. Sometimes I'm shocked what working in big tech does to people's ideas about what a normal annual salary is. Burning Man is a once a year event. Being a c level for that is not compa

Again, Doritos are surely addictive and surely the flavoring they put on them, the better they get the more addictive they are. Should they be sued for billions and trillions of dollars for that? At some point it's our job to not give
