The rollback of public health measures is intended to kill people. These guys are eugenicists. This will hurt those with less money more. Black families hold 10x less wealth due to generations of structured racism. Going forward with RFKJ, they'll be more vulnerable against preventable diseases.

Peak Tapper was him asking trump to disavow David Duke and the KKK. Trump gave him some bs about how he couldn't say anything about them because he didn't know who the KKK was. Tapper let him off the hook, and his career went downhill from there. youtu.be/e9geYl9J_Mc?...

Right now, most AI is being curated to avoid promoting racist, sexist, etc. ideas to facilitate early adoption, however, AI can easily be used for evil stuff as well. I guarantee you the likes of Musk and other unsavory characters are using AI to workshop things like how to carry out eugenics.

Like it or not, AI is a tool that can help to accelerate your understanding of all sorts of things. Yes, AI gobbles up the information shared by others and does not compensate them at all. But honestly, most of that is in the public domain already. AI is going to be used for evil or good.

For the racist avid gun owners, at best, this is all due to fear of what could happen if they disarm. It's a lot of things, I'm sure. But fear is a very powerful motivator. Discrimination of any kind only further amplifies the fear of retaliation. It's a vicious cycle.

Congress (using whatever formula it adopts) could say: Ohio’s GOP Reps’ votes count at ~0.9 each. Ohio’s Democratic Reps’ votes count at ~1.35 each. The net effect: Ohio’s delegation’s weighted balance reflects 55/45 instead of 80/20.

It's half baked, but the general idea of weighing congressional representation by how gerrymandered a state is might be effective.
Beausoleil (@beausoleil202.bsky.social) reply parent
Half-baked, but if 40% of the entire state voted dem, but only 10% of the reps are dem, then the state only gets 100 - (40-10) = 70% representation. What does 70% representation look like? Maybe each rep's congressional vote is weighted by 70%.
