A system where a housing tax that primarily targets the poorest is the main source of social care funding. And this system is finally crumbling? No one could have seen this coming.

I don’t think hands are good at peeling potatoes. Maybe if you sharpen your nails?

Reminds me of ant lines.

Dude donates $1.3 million out of his $300 million earnings from one year alone to his country of birth? I want to believe that’s not everything but on the other hand I also read venture capitalist somewhere in there.

Billionaires giving the equivalent of hand-me-downs and calling themselves philanthropists. Truly owners of a golden heart.

In California though? Now that would be an interesting place to pick considering the increasing climate disasters in the state.

That’s amazing. Is this money protected somehow or are we seeing a bunch of people get scammed?

Nice and short. Thanks for the link. I never knew much about the actor so it’s good to see.

Yep. Taking the piss aside, it was a smart move to co-star with someone so famous.

He was paid in exposure, pride, and accomplishment.

Just get an ass infection.

No cake frosting in the jungle.

Isn’t that basically what he pitches? To be angry at the system that has, in their minds and from their perspectives, been wronging them? Even though of course people like Trump are a tumour in the system.

I find that unlikely. AI is a subject much like space tech. It may not always be the giant it is now but it’s a baseline research countries will be conducting. Even if only as a means to defend themselves.

A bad guy.

I have thought about it for a while but the US is basically in a cold civil war, with a significant chance of it becoming hot. And it looks very similar to their previous one. Neither side seem to have a charismatic enough leader.

It’s easy to look over the pond and think it’s none of our problem. But if the US falls to chaos a lot of other countries will follow suit. We can already see this influence in the UK and I’d argue many other EU countries. Russia probably saw this weakness, bet on it worsening much quicker than it did, but lost that bet (so far).

With that said, addressing the US as a whole no longer makes sense. I’m sure plenty, plenty of Americans see what is happening.

It’s unfortunate that one of the wealthiest people on this planet has taken the anti-democratic side, but it’s not the first or the last time in history a powerful man, rich beyond measure has done so.

Guess he has read 1984?

Not that it matters since this is such a different scenario.
