Here’s how it works: They pay no taxes because they own the government. So we pay taxes and give them our money.

Then they take our money and and use it to fund their terrible ideas that usually just fucking crash and burn and tank the entire fucking economy. So then they need more money. So you continue to pay more money, and they take your money. Now they have more money.

But we can’t ask them to contribute money to fund public services let alone their own harebrained schemes because “Something something… Milton Friedman… Blah, blah, blah Hayek and the road to Serfdom, and the CIA is busy defending our freedom, yada, yada, yada.”

Kinda seems like everything that criticizes or simply doesn’t frame AI as the inevitable future or humanity’s greatest achievement is accused of being slop.

“If I may offer a suggestion, everything is fine. You’re happy. The economy is great and standard of living is better than ever.”
