I mean what is that based on other than the delusions in your own head? How do you know what the “stereotypical government worker thinks? You’re the one making up the stereotype. It seems to me that people working for the government would be more likely to have a family member that was a miner or a domestic worker than Peter Thiel or Elon Musk. Or are you saying that since Musk’s dad owned an emerald mine he’s more concerned with the plight of miners? |
It's profitable with a huge cost to environmental resources and human life. Not that Trump, Vance, Musk, or Thiel care about anyone but themselves. Elon is barking about Trump's rising deficit and he thinks AI is the only way to save America. I think cutting out the grift and taxing billionaires at a higher rate and cutting tariffs to Biden levels would be a better start. |
I guess I’m imagining all those DC feds who proudly mention they would never buy an American car, who pay their domestic workers under the table and voted overwhelmingly for a candidate who promised to put an end to coal. Now that their own jobs are on the line, they’re having a chance of heart. |
This is stupid af. There are no “American” cars anymore because they all have parts from all over the world. And many U.S. market cars like Toyotas are assembled in the United States. So what is the gripe? That people are not choosing to purchase cars that are made up of parts from China under an American imprint? And if anything Feds are much less likely to pay domestic workers under the table because of clearance issues. Not sure who you specifically are referring to as saying they are going to end coal but if you mean Obama most current MAGA voted for him as well hence why he won. I know a literal J6-er that voted for Obama. |
I'll take "Things that didn't happen" for $600, Alex! You're a deranged dumbass with a fictional view of the world. |
That's right--you are imagining it. |
You still think mining has a sustainable future? There is a very good reason for job retraining of miners. Do some real research. Ask the owners of the mines. |
Where do you get these ideas? The very last people on the planet who would pay domestic workers under the table would be federal workers (if they can even afford them). Do a little research into 1993 to learn why under the table payments are the 3rd rail in DC. No one who wants to work in government will touch that rail. |
Seriously. I just can't anymore. Why aren't people curious enough to do even a little research? Apply just a smidge of critical thinking to the headlines that raise your blood pressure? |
We won't need domestic servants anymore. We just need good AI with robotics to cook our food, teach our children to read, and help our elderly parents to remember where they put their glasses. |
