They go together. A lot of Americans are stressed out poor–destitute people just trying to make it to their next paycheck.
That’s why we have weak protests and also why a shithead like Trump lying and saying he’ll fix it, has a chance politically.
The wealth gap is wider than ever, and that’s going to be what finally pushes the country one direction or another. I’d rather that we didn’t have to collapse to reform things, but the billionaires probably aren’t going let reforms that will hurt their number happen.
We’re gonna have to eat the rich, but it’s probably going to cost countless poor people’s lives.
Yeah that’s kinda what I was envisioning, maybe half the tether zingin off into space when the other half fell into the pacific or desert, but even half is gonna be like 15,000km I guess.
Also wasn’t there a scenario like this in one of the Mars Trilogy books?
Democrats would have to effectively organize and train in a large enough group to not just be instantly wiped out or imprisoned as “insurrectionists”. Technically it would be an insurrection, but with some outside help or military backing it could turn into a coup.
Does the rest of the world want a destabilized civil warring nuclear state? It’s not likely to stay contained even in the western hemisphere.
The European aristocracy was "absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed. European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic."[134]
Many of us have empathy, and feel terrible that the rest of the world has to deal with the bullshit that a third of our country and half our political system has voted for. Your comment seems to be blind to that fact.
In May 2019, The New York Times reported that anti-money laundering specialists in the bank detected what appeared to be suspicious transactions involving entities controlled by Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, for which they recommended filing suspicious activity reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury Department, but bank executives rejected the recommendations.
Yeah the dearth of destruction left by it falling would be insane. I assume it would have to be built along mainly west coasts to mitigate risks. But maybe it’s more important to be somewhere with less hurricane/cyclone risks, and with really stable bedrock obviously.
Had to do this with an iPhone. Induction charging has a hard time keeping up with GPS antenna, streaming music and directions on long drives. Especially if you have a decently thick case to try and keep the damn phone in one peice for any length of time.
They think AGI will be able to make better solutions from their dumb ideas. They think it’ll be a magic bullet to what? Another notch on the billionaire list. The end goal in itself is sick to begin with for most of them, or else they’d be running non profits to help the world.
