  I need to see this without management factored it, or at least broken out separately.

  Not coming. They’re here. As are general robots, the ai can control. Now, it’s just a transition period .

  I’m not downvoting you bc I respect that’s your opinion. But might I suggest that you investigate how much a billion dollars really is?

  This is an old but great place to start:

  There is no contribution and work that someone can do to earn that much in a meritocracy. They literally have to have fucked their societies laws and values so much that folks believe that while people are homeless, hungry, fleeing wars, una le to afford healthcare and schooling, etc, that the 2700+ billionaires in the world should be able to have so much that they literally couldn’t spend it all if they tried.

  If you believe in a meritocracy, then billionaires should be repugnant. No individual contribution is a billion dollars.

  In the US, yes, anybody on the right wing is either a straight-up fascist or comfortable being fascist adjacent, which isn’t much different.

  I will always proudly be a danger to Nazis and fascists.

  Guillotine that nazi fuck. Way past time for some French revolution.

  Yet.

  Even when they weren’t on the verge of collapse, they wouldn’t help. It’s politically expedient to have them there and feign outrage at Israel. It helps mask their anti-semitism and distracts from all the times the Arabs have attacked Israel, hoping to destroy it.

  I am not PRO Israel… they have enormous and many war crimes under their belt. Just as the Palestinians do. If you think there is one easily culpable pRty here and just a victim and a bully, then you have not studied the history of that region and conflicts. Do not the my word for it, go reasearch–its out there and available. Do check your sources, though.

  One, they don’t give a fuck about the Palestinians, they only want it as a bargaining chip for diplomatic purposes. Same with all the Arab nations who clutch their pearls. The Palestianins have been intentionally isolated there by all the Arab nations bc they use it for PR.
