Senator taking credit

samedi 13 mars 2021 à 01:00

*[Republican] Senator Who Voted Against COVID-19 Relief Already Taking Credit For Bill's Benefits.*

Today's Republicans will say, at each moment, whatever they feel like, as if past history were meaningless.

One measure of how effective dooH niboR has been is that there are people ready to blow 69 million dollars on a "non-fungible token" whose worth derives from nothing except that (1) it can't be copied because it has a signature and (2) others may in the future pay even more for it.

It can be amusing to see them blow money so foolishly, but the poverty that their system has imposed is no joke.

Keeping small competitors' counter bare

vendredi 12 mars 2021 à 01:00

The big US grocery store chains, such as Walmart, use their purchasing power to keep small grocery store's counters bare.

I recommend breaking up those big chains. Make more, smaller chains, that will have less power to starve everyone else.

Journalist found not guilty

vendredi 12 mars 2021 à 01:00

*Journalist Andrea Sahouri, Arrested at Black Lives Matter Protest in Iowa, Found Not Guilty of 'Bogus Charges'.*

It is scandalous that the prosecutor brought this to trial. Perse had plenty of chance to find out that they were bogus. It bespeaks the intention to use the legal system to harass journalists. I suspect that the prosecutor is right-wing, and perhaps even a white supremacist. Is there information about that?

Suing Clearview AI

*Activists and Rights Groups Sue Clearview AI, Warning 'We Won't Be Safe' Until Facial Recognition Firm Is Gone.*

I wish they would stop undermining their arguments by talking about the lesser accuracy of the system for blacks' faces. We can't defeat face recognition by arguing that sometimes it does not work. The danger is that often it does work.
