- Comment on Update: Disrupt the Amazon/Melania movie premiere weekend 4 days ago:
Melania is the worst first lady we ever had in the US. She is at base, the most uninteresting person. She is supposed to be on “the Five” tomorrow. I hope they ask her uncomfortable questions but I bet it will mostly be softball bullshit questions. She sucks and is unintelligent, just greedy and an Epstein operative/prop, as it is how she met the Orange Asshole. I hope she remains stuck with him because those who marry for money should be required to earn it.
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 4 days ago:
So… you think there will be people working at your doctor’s office on a day of a General Strike? This is very entitled attitude. I mean, I get it, I am a nurse and I anticipate the general public will rely on our ethical code to ensure emergency rooms are staffed as well as the other inpatient floors so people in need for acute health care will have beds. However, what if we just don’t show up? There is a nurses’ strike in NYC, staff from major hospital systems are not showing up for work. There is a plethora of temporary healthcare employee agencies recruiting strike crossers – some for almost $200/hr. Why can’t those hospitals just pay their nurses? They are certainly able to pay these scabs.
I wonder if you expect the police, teachers, garbage collectors and firemen to also show up for their jobs to continue to make your life smooth and safe? That is an antithesis of a general strike’s impact. Some of you realize your jobs are really unimportant, the rest of us have to carry society and humanity.

I am a nurse and work at a hospital. I can’t even ethically participate in this as abandoning the sick is against our moral code. Imagine if there was no staff at your ER after getting clubbed, beaten and gassed at your General Strike Day Protest nor no one there for Meemaw who is half demented and needing hip surgery. I respect the ideal of a General Strike but this the US and we all live on a budgeting razor edge that has gotten more and more sharp since the morons elected this asshole.

Do you think a Linux phone would have the same weaknesses?
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 3 weeks ago:
You can also use an old style camera that uses film or a polaroid.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 3 weeks ago:
also, tape recorders. And if you travel out of the country… buy a burner flip phone to use.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 3 weeks ago:
Yes, and printed maps still work. Keeping an address/phone book still works (so do sharpies on your arm).

yeah, you have to analog.

Noem is so dumb she could not figure out how to train a dog and she felt her best idea was to shoot it in the head. These are not smart people.

Remember that tv series “Person of Interest?”… we need someone to be that guy and his team.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 3 weeks ago:
If you are not specifically targeted d/t your status… start first with phone free Fridays. You will feel at first some discomfort… but after that initial feeling… you will start to feel free. Make sure your family has your work number. Turn off the phone on the weekend and put it in something like a lead lined or metal mesh sack… what they used to call a Faraday Cage/Bag.
- Comment on Home electricity bills are skyrocketing. For data centers, not so much. 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I am Fucking Pissed at my energy bills for the last 6 months. Like WTH. It is like $500 a month vs what was $300 max. I told my husband… it is time to start investing in solar generators. We are getting screwed for some stupid tech boy.

When Trump is gone, we need to Nuremburg and aggressively FTC those assholes. And raise their taxes to 90%. GTFO of here.

what pisses me off about this whole AI bullshit bubble are the higher energy prices I am being charged for their data centers. It moved me to purchase shares in National grid to hedge this shit.

Oh, the guy who intimated that the US gov will have to bail their asses out because their futures were TBTF. I will be happy to see that guy in prison for his pyramid schemes.

I am with you man… going to the fire sales, second hand all the way. Even now… all my holiday purchases are secondhand, ebay, thrift, flea market purchases. Fuck the corporations.

they can be adapted, and will be in order to sell them.

woo hoo! I am thinking about the tower of my son’s gaming computer who’s nvidia card died… and they were total dicks about replacing it. I can’t wait to buy a better one at a major loss to them off ebay.

I really miss the time we just considered Nvidia as a great source for graphics cards on our gaming computers.

Nah, we would just get great bargain basement prices on GPUs.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 2 months ago:
I sold off my Nvidia stock about 3-4 weeks ago in the effort of divesting myself of all the AI futures. I also had sold off Amazon, MS, Intel, etc. (I never owned Tesla). With the money I bought Berkshire Hathaway, med tech/pharm stocks and stock of my local energy supplier since they hiked my rates those MFers, as well as a chip corp opening a fab here. Also can’t go wrong with MC. I keep away from crypto and consider AI a poison pill… worse than the real estate bubble in the early 2000s.
- Comment on Not vaccinating is child abuse. 3 months ago:
Drinking unpasteurized milk is a great way to get TB among other things. Children who drink unpasteurized milk get the Bovine TB which infects the bones (spine, long bones, and joints), Another type of TB that primarily affects the spine is known as Potts disease. It is incredibly painful and contagious. It can be cured if treated early but often it is dormant and/or without symptoms in the early stages. Immunocompromised people are at higher risk of developing active bone TB. Thus, areas with high prevalence of HIV/AIDS have higher rates of active infection. However, any stress can activate TB (such as starvation). Feeding a child raw milk is child abuse.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 3 months ago:
yes, We can’t prevent the bubble burst. We can hope it happens sooner rather than later but the bubble is baked in. So what companies and individuals can to is basically buy up their deitrius at bargain prices. And then use them to make better, more solid companies that do no require $3T investment while showing no fucking profit.

My family lost a great deal of invested wealth in that 2008 crash with the death of Mellon Bank. It does not seem like a lot today but … if it had been invested in say Chase or G-S… it would have probably been double what it was by now. I am sure my dad was twisting in his coffin when that happened. I am glad he did not suffer that when it happened (he died in 2005).

Those data centers drive up energy costs for us and increase global warming. They don’t help at all. Plus AI steals IP of creatives.

The best thing us poors in the US can do is eliminate our consumer debt, pay it off or do a bankruptcy and pray(hope really hard and vote) we do get a president who can effectively forgive student debt. This means no spending, strict budgeting and eliminating any and all subs, discount phone, etc. If you are already there, getting more paid work if possible.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 3 months ago:
I think the top 10% are author of more than 50% of the spending/consumership. That is about to become larger.

I am in the US. In regard to employer based retirement, there are a few pension programs still available, mostly union based. In other corporate environments that do not offer union pensions (as they are non-union)- they offer the 401K if a for-profit or a 403B if non-profit. As you get closer to retirement, many 401K/403B recalibrate to a larger proportion of Bonds vs riskier stocks/futures. Although I also invest in some ETFs that are not pretax (only the earnings are taxable).
