I don’t, because sadly it’s the only thing that works with the right, and really people in general.
They don’t care about actually well researched policies or political content - these get labelled as the “liberal wall of text.”
We need more of these sorts of jokes for engagement. See for example Megan Coyne’s tweets when she ran Biden’s official Whitehouse account.

Single payer healthcare systems get all the political attention, but we really need a single payer judicial system. Basically public defenders but properly funded and for prosecution as well.
The US judicial system is also particularly bad because each party is responsible for their own legal fees. Most of the world has the loser pay the winner’s fees.

- Comment on datacenter liquid cooling solution 1 week ago:
Water cooling is typically much more complex and expensive than air cooling, and is mainly attractive because of space limitations. The same applies to data centers. IBM’s mainframes have a liquid cooled version mainly targeted towards users wishing to get the most out of their data center space before upgrading sites. These ship without coolant, and simply ask the user to “just add water,” i.e. just demineralised/distilled water.

The WiFi tracking tech is not too new, but re-identification of subjects is. That is, instead of the shopping centre having to build up their own database to profile you, they can just match your unique biomarker to a external data broker’s database, supposedly.

Luckin Coffee, the extremely successful Chinese competitor to Starbucks exclusively operates via their app. Sadly, users prefer it because of all the discounts and coupons it offers. So really, just surveillance capitalism as usual.

- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 5 weeks ago:
Competition is fierce, but they are not exactly struggling due to government subsidies/incentives. These are so extreme that Chinese manufacturers are over producing and dumping “used” EVs with zero mileage for export.
Similar to US agricultural dumping, this is a terrible policy for everyone, except for the beneficiaries of the subsidies, and maybe the overseas consumers who get cheap EVs in the short term.

Pure oxygen is actually toxic for humans, leading to hyperoxia. People who breath pure oxygen such as scuba divers need specific training.

The CIA produced many briefs for Bush warning about Bin Laden in 2001 before the actual attacks. Bush did not take any of these seriously, as summarised by one of his now infamous response “All right. You’ve covered your ass.”

We were already there 10 years ago with Google Glass. Despite its failure in the consumer market, it found significant success in enterprise settings in the exact scenarios you’ve listed.
Except, all of these are scenarios in blue collar work. Apple seems hell bent on making this succeed in white collar areas with its emphasis on meetings, which is extremely baffling.

- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 4 months ago:
Shoshana Zuboff really was ahead of its time. So many people who were privacy conscious and therefore thought they were clever by simply thinking that Google makes money by only selling your data completely missed the scale of manipulation and control big tech has (myself included).
Google/big tech doesn’t sell your data. Google/big tech sells advertisers predictions of your behaviour, a highly refined, processed version of your data. Advertisers cannot purchase your data, only “impressions” or “views.” In an extra sinister twist, Google/big tech then uses it’s resources to manipulate you in ways such that their predictions become true.
This is why their predictions are the best, because after making them, they have a financial incentive to manipulate them into being true. It is why we naturally see more and more polarization, because after Google has sold the prediction that you will engage is a specific type of content (e.g. right ring rabbit holes), it is financially incentivised to make that a reality, and therefore further push you in that direction, to make their prediction true.

Sike! Many developed nations such as Canada, Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore all provide little to no support for dental. Although the UK does have dental ln the NHS, finding an NHS dentist is very difficult.
Many of the residents in these nations end up engaging in dental tourism to nations such as Poland and Thailand, where a dental travel package that includes round trip international air fare + 5 star hotel + dental work is still cheaper than getting dental work done in their home country.
