You think they give a shit? They buy the bullshit that this is endangering their children. That there's social contagion and theirs could be next, and it also means their kid might be going to hell etc.

Unfortunately, changing hearts and minds is complicated. But it's the only way we get to a world of empathy toward those of us who are different.

Sure, but did those jobs go to those who lost theirs? And as others have pointed out, not always and forever. Just logically speaking a lot of automation at best will "free" people to pursue other things, and so could boost creativity and innovation... But people need freedom and financial security for that to be possible.

In short, I'm shilling for UBI, guaranteed minimum income and other socialist programmed to spread the value gain from technology back into the community.

Has the argument been awful, or just the outcome?

I mean, when have those who lost their jobs due to technological obsolescence actually been looked after directly, rather than left to fend for themselves?

That's exactly right. He made a mistake about the strategy. It happens. I still think the US is better for his having been in his role.

I'd rather the one under her crotch.

There's just no good reason. Might as well legislate that girls wear pink and boys wear blue. Equally as baseless and invasive of free expression.

Memdani is very skilled. I think him and his team could easily call escorting Netanyahu's motorcade through New York and delivering him to federal authorities an "arrest" even though the feds would let him go immediately. He would be seen doing everything he could despite it being effectively performative.

So yeah, Netanyahu won't risk the embarrassment.

But he'd have to if it came to it. Or his career is over.

I still don't know how Trump gets to break every promise he ever makes without consequence, but it doesn't work for anyone else.

I mean you know they exist.
