It’s getting bad. Almost unwatchable now. Google is screwed.

LOL Trump will send them home in the third week of September, just long enough that they miss the beginning of the college year.

This is why emerging markets win. Older companies use AI to fill in irrelevant internal forms and memos that have become legacy procedures, that bog the company down. AI won’t improve the situation, it’ll make it worse, as people vomit more and more text at the problem.

I’m sure with the start of the school year, they are so excited to be activated, and have all their tuition money wasted.

We’re fucked.

Yes fireplaces add to pollution, the two times a year a person actually uses there fireplace isn’t overly concerning though.

Get to the real culprit, and ban bunker fuel on ships. Cargo ships use used motor oil for fuel, that they have to boil just so it’ll flow.

$1500 isn’t enough to cover a quarter of the cost of a heat pump.

we’d intervene

That’s the problem, we won’t. There is too much now that needs to be done, and your neighbors don’t care. Try telling your neighbor not to use a dirty 2-stroke gas lawnmower, or weed killer on a residential law, they’ll hate you, won’t understand what you’re talking about, and think that you are stupid. Everything then becomes a state intervention with police, courts, laws, jails.

This is like the slowest moving chess match ever played. It’s obvious what everyone’s moves are going to be. When the U.S.A. starts threatening 30%, 40%, 100%, 200% tariffs, other countries respond. There are no surprise genius moves here.

We heard the same about Japan.
Soon we’ll be hearing about how Nigeria is spending oil money and growing its manufacturing.
Wait till the U.S. finds out about Brazil and its ability to manufacturer.
When the war is over between Ukraine and Russia, you’ll have two more countries restarting non-military production.
South Africa is picking up everyday.
If Europe ever manages to dig a tunnel between Spain and Morocco the Iberian peninsula and N.Africa would transform.

Interesting. When they show up from rural W. Virginia to Washington D.C., it might be a culture shock, and some might not want to go back.

Nationalize it.

If every time you went home, and had to step over a half naked homeless guy holding a half broken glass bottle, sleeping on your porch, your mental health would go into the toilet. That’s how people feel riding the subway everyday.

Literally from the first page of the report you cite

“While we noted the surge in random violence against passengers in all countries, including but not limited to the United States, the structure of MTI’s database simply did not lend itself to proper analysis of the phenomenon And the sources of data were inadequate and unreliable. Fearing that partial reporting would result in incomplete and potentially misleading conclusions, in 2021 we decided to cease counting these events in our database while we explored new data sources and database configurations that would allow us to better capture, analyze, and portray the events. What this means is that the shift from terrorist to anit-social violence throughout the world, but particularly in the United States and perhaps some of the other economically advanced countries, is far greater than what we include in this report. which is why we call for a more robust accounting, and better strategies, for dealing with this problem.”

It states the opposite of what you think it states!!!

That is a correct read and more accurate. These are policies of the Democrats, not a guiding principle of the left.

Feeling uncomfortable is not irrational. Being anxious to take public transit, out of fear of encountering a mentally ill person that might act out violently, is actually a common fear. There is a stigma about talking about this. Careful about finding yourself in an echo chamber.

O please. Get a grip. You’ll get yourself shot. Or you’ll shot a cop, and give an excuse for even more violence and state repression. Individuals can’t fight their way out of repressive regimes.

Get a camera, set it to record to a remote location, preferable a data center in another country. What we really need are tech volunteers to start setting up these types of digital cameras in ethnic neighborhoods to document what is happening.

Yes, his is fascism and should not happen.

However…I do think that the left lives in a bubble sometimes, and fail to get tracking amongst the working class. Working class people really do want proper police protection, and deserve it.

Sure crime statistics are down, but everything has become very uncomfortable. Some homeless guy gets on the bus, drunk, with his stained clothing inside out, and maybe on drugs and now you have to worry if they are going to stab you.
Yes, police should not harass homeless people, but now you have 20 average people on the bus worried that they’ll be stabbed. This mild level of anxiety is constant.

The left has asked the working class to take on a disproportionate amount of burden, yes it’s better to have out treatment for addiction, and not arrest the unhoused, but the working and lower middle class do feel the pinch of this policy affecting them.

The working class, blue collar residents, see Trump make these proclamations and desperately hope something breaks in their favor. It won’t Trump is not a capable manager.

On November 23, 1933 The Nazi Party passed the Law against Dangerous and Habitual Criminals. This led to beggars, the homeless, alcoholics and the unemployed to be sent to concentration camps.
