If you think there is anything beneficial in slavery to the enslaved, you are a horrible person who should be enslaved for a few years so that you can experience the supposed benefits first hand.
The willingness to show blatant bigotry and racism by Florida Republicans is surprising only that they are now so delusional that they think some good people somewhere agree with them. Hint, believing there is anything good about slavery makes you a very bad person.

I just got an Android system update notification on my Pixel 6A.
Did Google fix the very bad battery drain problem they created a couple weeks ago?
The answer is …
Update 3 hours later, SUCCESS!
My battery drain is back to the low rate I had before the bad update.
It saddens me that fools on the internet dispensing advice and politicians (mostly republican) have instilled so much irrational fear in the population that these stories exist.
Confused TikTok Mom Asks for Help When Random Child Comes Over To Play With Her Kid
54% of Protestant Churches Rely in Part on Armed Church Members for Security
Crime is lower now than during most of my over 60 years of life. I do not know anyone who was murdered, shot, stabbed, or even just beaten up in a random act of violence. (getting beat up from hanging out in rough bars is not a random act of violence, it’s an anticipated consequence)
It’s good to see that the NHTSA and Automakers are going to workaround the ridiculous wireless access requirement in the Right To Repair law that I advocated and voted against. There is NO truly secure remote access, and the control systems of a modern car are far to dangerous to risk it so that auto techs can save a few seconds by not plugging in a communications cable..

Like every person on Earth N D Tyson makes massive mistakes when he comments outside his area of expertise. This is an excellent correction that gets the facts correct.
NDT, your an important astrophysicist, but you are neither a good historian or theologian so stop F’ing embarrassing yourself. But I guess I can’t expect much from somebody who helps Joe Rogan infest the world with bigoted misinformation. I guess NDT is looking to become fabulously wealthy off the right wing grifter circuit catering to their bigotry with misinformation. It is sad to see this fate for yet another once admired scientist.
As AI progresses companies will be able to have lower skilled employees successfully pull off work that required much more expensive skilled workers. This will allow companies to reduce their overall payroll, making the rich and poor richer and the middle class poorer.
This prediction is based on personal experience of technology impacts on my co-workers during my 40+ year career and the one fixed rule of capitalism. The rule is best expressed by the mom on Malcolm in the Middle, Lois Nolastname.
Lois: “I’ll tell you what they’re going to pay you, they’re going to pay you what all jobs pay, less than you’re worth and just enough to keep you crawling back for more.”
EE Times Headline: Automotive Industry Looks Beyond EVs for Decarbonization
A more accurate headline: Chevron, Ferrari & McLaren are looking at alternatives to batteries.
I suppose other fossil fuel companies and super car manufacturers are doing the same. However listening to those super car companies about anything related to climate change is like paying attention to the flea on its back instead of the lion that is pouncing on you. And listening to fossil fuel companies who are the overwhelming cause of the global climate crisis is like listening to the advice of an abusive partner.
Always remember, if humanity had never dug up fossil fuels and released their carbon we would not have this climate crisis now, period.
