I wondered about "California’s UPS with apartments above it", so I searched. And, I found that Costco is building apartments above one of their stores.
Capitalism getting back to roots with indentured servitude just around the corner.
Federal minimum wage should be $30 per hour, with yearly raises to account for inflation.
But, the filthy rich know that money is power, and they want us to be powerless.
Many, many years ago, when Bill Gates first became filthy rich he said in an article, I'm paraphrasing, "Things only get so good, once you can afford to have the best of everything, the rest of the money is just for keeping score." And, the game they're tracking is who is most powerful.
Trump bankrupted two casinos, and is a notoriously bad businessman, which is why he jumped at the chance to run for President. Because, the President of the U.S. is "the most powerful man in the world", at least on paper. It's also why he's wielding that power so ruthlessly--it's his bruised ego. He couldn't hack it in the private sector, he never got anywhere near the top and the top kept rising, getting further out of reach. Why don't more billionaires run for office? Easy, they don't want the responsibility. They want power without consequences.
"Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power." But, really everything is about power, including sex, and money.
The disparity in power is what gets them off. That explains why they flocked to Epstein. There's no greater disparity in power for humans than between a billionaire and a young girl.
While I'm not surprised, it's important that empirical research be done and published. It's needed to bolster calls for regulation. Not that I, for one second, think we'll get any meaningful regulation out of this in most countries.
Our best bet, as always, is to limit our technologies' access to the internet as much as we can tolerate. Cars, doorbells, and refrigerators have no business connecting to the internet at all.
The Supreme Court already shot down the best questionable legal tool they had. That's the one they used first. The rest of them are far worse. They're just buying time, they know it will take another year to get this one shot down.
Yeah, there's a lot wrong with the statue. Considering the sculptor had only the same picture we see to go from, I don't know why it's so off.
Apart from the too short legs, the other three things that stand out most to me are the woman's expression, she's much more determined in the photo. The coat is too long, it should be a jacket. And, finally, the bag should not be ahead of the arm swing, it should trail, just as it does in the photo, because physics.
This is proper use of robots. Repetitive work that is error-prone for humans to do.
Also, notice the robot is not in a human form, because it doesn't need all of that overhead. Imagine Elon showing up with one of his robots...
"Why are you trying to sell me a machine that can dance the Charleston and do backflips? I don't need that capability and I don't want to pay for it. I don't even need a robot that can roll, let alone walk and dance."
They shame you from birth for doing perfectly normal things and healthy things, things they specifically chose because everyone does them, and then they tell you you're being watched everywhere 24/7.
They just want to control as many people as possible, just like politicians, and everyone else who has had a taste of power in their life.
Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. But, really, everything is about power, including sex.
