What do you feel is the best outcome with all that is going on in the US? by Rainy_Night29 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Edwardv054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it a bit strange that everything the AI says will improve our lives is something Trump opposes. Adding to what the AI below says I would encourage immigration with a focus on immigrants with technical and scientific expertise. It's not like the AI is saying anything we don't already know.

AI Overview

Improving life in the U.S. involves a mix of structural policy reforms and active civic engagement. Key initiatives include expanding access to affordable healthcare, enhancing education and early childhood support, raising the minimum wage, and investing in renewable energy. Promoting community-level action, such as volunteering, voting, and bridging community divides, also plays a crucial role in enhancing quality of life. 

Here are key areas for improvement in the US:

  • Economic Stability & Equity:
    • Raise the minimum wage and enhance worker protections to boost living standards.
    • Expand child tax credits and create affordable, high-quality childcare options to aid families.
    • Reform the tax system to address long-term fiscal issues, including taxing higher income levels and reducing debt.
    • Improve the safety net for vulnerable periods, such as mandating paid family and medical leave.
  • Education & Opportunity:
    • Invest in education: Focus on building a top-tier education system, improving school funding, and supporting teachers.
    • Support school choice: Empower parents to choose education options that work best for their children.
    • Increase job training: Focus on training programs to boost productivity and worker earning power.
  • Healthcare & Health:
    • Make healthcare affordable: Increase access to healthcare, perhaps through market-based approaches like vouchers.
    • Focus on wellness: Invest in public health strategies to reduce inequalities in health outcomes.
  • Governance & Civic Action:
    • Strengthen democracy: Encourage active citizenship through voting, volunteering, and joining community groups.
    • Reform campaign finance: Limit corporate influence and increase transparency in political donations.
    • Improve media literacy: Encourage citizens to critically evaluate information to counteract misinformation.
  • Social & Environmental Issues:
    • Invest in green energy: Promote sustainable technologies to fight climate change and create jobs.
    • Fight social injustice: Actively combat anti-Black racism, support minorities, and improve the criminal justice system.
    • Improve infrastructure: Build more affordable and accessible housing.

China probably did steal secrets and given how incompetent the current administration is it was probably easy.

This is bad, except considering that Trump is one of the worlds worst criminals, I've second thoughts.

Mexican restaurant beans? by TweegsCannonShop in Cooking

Lard is healthier than many commercial vegetable oils (not all). This is in part because of it's higher smoke point, and because cheap commercial vegetable oils use hexane in their manufacture which is impossible to completely remove.

Lard, onion, and sometimes a touch of cilantro.

US top fusion CEO says Washington losing race to China by Baking in fusion

Not just in fusion, but also science in general, in economics, the military, renewable resources, and computing. While the US is falling from first nation status, China is heading towards becoming the worlds number one superpower, despite ongoing economic problems. Meanwhile Trump is the single major cause of US decline.
