Which, by the way, is achievable with a 529 account, which has been around for a long time. Any funds not used for education can be rolled into an IRA in adulthood.
He is doing nothing new, but is putting his name on it. I guarantee it will encourage investments in private equity/credit and crypto.
He does nothing for altruistic reasons. If it appears to benefit others, it is either a side effect, or a useful illusion.
It’s slightly bigger than that. The majority of consumers won’t go through the gymnastics just to be able to use F_Droid, et. al.
Devs must register detailed personal info to be allowed to post to the one true store. The whole basis of FOSS is effectively destroyed.
If nothing else, the principle matters.
He might imply that initially to get (white) people to get on his side.
But the reality is anybody he doesn’t like he can simply excommunicate from the country. You are no longer a citizen - get out, or to to prison for crimes against the state. It’s the ultimate removal of personal freedom.
If they let him unilaterally end it, then the constitution is toothless forever more.
Note also it means none of us are citizens unless and until he declares it so. Does not matter if we are 15th generation and our ancestors fought in the revolution.
Another reason to move to Europe.
It would awesome if he has incriminating emails, especially if they involve his current job.
Why bother telling us if nobody is going to do anything about it? I’m tired of the rage “news” that is never addressed by law enforcement.
There is no justice. There is no point in being angry, no point in demanding resolution. It never comes. There is no hope for this “civilization”.
Prove me wrong.
I actually commented on that somewhere. Cyberpunk is a good example of authors warning us of dystopian possibilities, not glorifying them.
Yeah. I half expect that if I went to the next step, I’d be in an AI Zoom interview next.
Anecdotal evidence is misleading. You need to look at the large scale productivity statistics.
The company I worked for during the pandemic was strongly behind work in office culture because they believed it was better for productivity. By the time restrictions were lifted, they said to their surprise productivity increased, so they let people continue working from home.
The call back to the office is about justifying lease expenses they are stuck with for up to 10 years, plus perception of control issues in managers. You see, if they can’t verify you are working directly, then they assume you are slacking even if the work is being completed. Their surveilance is much more complete in an environment they control, too.
It’s the next wealth tier up from up to now, I think.
