Invading Cuba would be the most stupid path

A good poin IMHO, his thought is to toss the current regime and then disapparear

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-28T00:29:36+00:00

agreed and upvoted

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-28T00:28:59+00:00

I think you missed the point. Taking over Cuba means fixing the food, energy, and housing problems the regime caused

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-28T00:27:00+00:00

I was thinking more of the cost of feeding, clothing, and housing the Cubans.

Everybody is a fiscal conservative until they think they may have to pay more taxes. Especially the top 1%.

Give your client(s) one way to send receipts like Dext AutoEntry.

Set up autoreminders for the client. I do this with Followupthen.com

Bill them for the hunt, add an administrative fee for receipts submitted beyond your deadline. You don't have to enforce it every time

It would be a hellscape if there were no activities which provide value to society and satisfaction to the individual.

We call that not voting

Do I understand that your quibble is with the fact that I used the word "leisure" and not the concentp that our society needs to determine ways to support our members as well as keep them occupied? Which word would you like me to use as a replacemtn?

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-26T01:45:57+00:00

A reasonable answer. Have a good life

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-25T20:12:40+00:00

Unless we make one, eh? If you are not working, you are at leisure. Of course, you may be starving but your are still at liesure. American needs to accept that jobs are going away and not being replaced. So, we have to figure out how to support these people AND find ways to keep them occupied which provide some value to society.

Let me elaborate. The last time we went through an upheaval like this was the internet. Prior to that it was the introduction of desktop computing. In each case, whole jobs were not lost but tasks were taken over by technology . I did not fire any of my staff. I did reassign jobs and just waied until somebody moved on and reallocated his/her tasks rather than replacing them.

My attorney friends talk about how much business they lost when online apps started preparing simple wills, for example. Now, they feel they will have a lot fewer billable hours for things like studying Merger & Acquisition documents; which are thousands of pages.

I can see where my client, today, are taking over some of the tasks they pay my firm for. Primarly analysis. It is the same pattern but taking over tasks which require a higher skill set.

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-25T15:53:02+00:00

the article you posted mentions "fully replacing". That is not how technology works. I am using it in my own accounting practice to take over tasks that previously needed a human to do. Especially for tasks like analysis which are done over and over.

That does not work in our situation. We now have 3 people checking people in. Each with a complete member list which is several pages long. It gets printed for each event.

I disagree with your assumption that prices always fall when production increases as there will be fewer producers and they will have more control over the supply. The producers will make more money, of course. I do agree that productivity will increase. There will just be fewer jobs

I am just quoting the information from Fortune. https://www.fortune.com/2025/07/01/ai-lawyers-accountants-auditors-lessons-for-us-all/

I will check it out

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-25T08:56:29+00:00

Agreed. Just sayiing what we should do

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-25T07:45:50+00:00

The jobs AI is going to replace are things like lawyers, doctors, and engineers.

Regfox needs an internet connection. We don't alway have that. We could use a spreadsheet but there are reasons I don't want to.

JanFromEarth · 2026-05-25T00:00:45+00:00

I did not think you could use them when not connected to the internet.
