  Barreleyes get sorta close. They look up but can look forward too.

  It’s not hard to file taxes. Especially for an individual, with a normal W2 income, and not much else. Certain people try to make it hard, but it’s not.

  I don’t need to pay someone to put a number on a form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the point. Poor people gambling can’t write off their losses on taxes. Well, they can, just only up to 90%. Rather than all of it like it has been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, and only 90% of gambling loses. Looks like another point against the poor.

  Not that I’m condoning gambling, but, weird how those things impact polar opposite sides of the wealth gap.

  Or they had a camera recording.

  I wasn’t attempting to disparage them. Because I get it. I don’t gamble, but I have my own destructive ways to get through the days. Just unfortunate that it’s the case.

  I’m in my upper 20’s, I have a lot of friends I would honestly describe as having a gambling “issue”, it’s a spectrum, some are worse than others. However, I do find it interesting that my peers are so disenfranchised, they’d rather spend time and whatever limited money they have, trying to hit a lottery, rather than work and attempt to move through the social ladder or whatever.

  Now, I say all of that, to say, how are we, as a society, okay with this? How is it that I would put my life trajectory in the hands of a digital slot machine? Well, the simple answer is capitalism.

  The Roman’s thought it had to be “bread and circus” imagine how stupid they must feel, all you need is a circus to keep your population from coming together.

  Anyway, rant over. This image makes me sad.

  Current media and institutions already try to control the conversation and how people think, and I can see futures where AI could be used by those in power to do this more effectively.

  You don’t think that’s already happening considering how Sam Altman and Peter Thiel have ties?
