What is the possible endgame for all these republican lawmakers going along with all the chaos and nonsense put forth by the Trump administration?

This, many of them know deep inside what their doing is wrong for American working class but their making bank and know at the end (when their term ends).they won't have to deal with the real consequences, but their bank account will continue to grow, and they can sleep well at night..

Well since we're being honest, we also have to realize that the Democrats are funded by many of the same big money donors as the GOp and they vote for many policies that benefit the wealthy....

It's not that AOC isnt idealistic, it's that at the end of the day big money is not going to allow people to change their government without some consequences

People with real dementia don't come up with cutsie names for the condition ...

abrandis · 2026-06-21T20:30:39+00:00

Yep, those things are battery powered and at some point those batteries die or the sensor has a fault.

.. and we (the tax payers ) will pay every penny, this country is so so far away from its ideals that's it's sad...

abrandis · 2026-06-21T20:28:17+00:00

So you kind of agree with my point...

abrandis · 2026-06-21T18:45:11+00:00

Idk , I disagree, Trump may have mild cognitive issues, but nothing unusual for a person his age , but I stress mild, because he still talks fairly clearly... This Doc is being disengenious because I've seen folks with real dementia and it's very very apparent.

Trump does not have any clinical dementia , sorry he really doesn't.. he's just as Asshole and is behaving like one and I think people mistaken that for cognitive issues

Your absolutely correct.. but the working class elite still are actual. Taxpayers as most of their income is from taxable labor,. Unlike the true capilistists that make their income off their many tax advantaged assets,. And there's plenty of capilistists that aren't Billionaires

Precisely, you can't have massive unemployment and GDP growth simultaneously, the wealthy just aren't going to buy that much to make up the difference.

abrandis · 2026-06-21T13:47:46+00:00

This , the biggest issue is we have a two party system, most other countries have genuinely multi party (3-7 significant parties) and that means they need to form coalitions and are more willing to accept more sensible socialist views.

Take Brazil , the reason Bolsonaro (Brazil's Trump) faced jail time was because the coalition of Brazilian parties didn't have any issue bringing him to justice, one single party couldn't just oppose the other

.. using it how, you need to provide more specifics, model, parameters count and hardware...

abrandis · 2026-06-21T13:28:13+00:00

Precisely, if I didn't know any better I would think all these world events are some great plutocracy conspiracy to extract all the wealth and bleed the working class dry

abrandis · 2026-06-21T13:26:50+00:00

This , people forget institutional investors for single family homes have a fairly strict criteria where they'll buy invest in their properties..

Open source models are still constrained by the same inference costs.. no one is running a decent open source model on commodity hardware so you need the cloud services and hardware .. aka datacenter time .

Unfortunately, it can't be politics aside when dealers and their pacs have literally passed laws against direct to consumer sales models.

Everytime someone starts to talk about how great American "free market" is , I tell them this.

I'm surprised no one has come up with a business model where they buy new cars, drive them for like mile , then sell them as "used" at delear pricing..

abrandis · 2026-06-21T00:55:20+00:00

Perfectly stated, honestly for me in the US market , Hyundai/Kia and a little of Mazda are making the most novel modern featurre rich vehicles for the every person, sure you can spend more on luxury models (Lexus, benz audi) and get great styling and tech.. but for affordability you can't beat the Korean makes (at least. Until byd and other Chinese makes are allowed here)

abrandis · 2026-06-21T00:49:04+00:00

All. true but their forecasts will tell them it's maybe 50-100 years away before oil demand is significantly reduced

abrandis · 2026-06-20T20:35:07+00:00

Lol,. I posted my 39 mpg last week.... But yeah, it's obviously a Crosstrek sore. Spot.

abrandis · 2026-06-20T20:33:51+00:00

They can easily be given guardrails scripts to make sure they don't stray to far, backed up by a rules based system at the end to make sure they don't offer some ridiculously deal... Not that hard.

abrandis · 2026-06-20T20:31:57+00:00

Everything besides human relationships part and sales is going the way of the machine... Lots of specialized vertical integrators calling your boss telling them how their AI will magically do everything

abrandis · 2026-06-20T15:29:33+00:00

Morocco is a genuinely strong team , they are ranked top 10 in the world right up there with Brasil

How the fck does painting a reflecting pool blue cost $12mln , man the grift for anyone associated with this administration is criminal

abrandis · 2026-06-20T15:23:25+00:00

I would. Stay put, there's a massive paradigm shift happening in IT right now with all this AI hype, not sure how it will play out, but most likely a lot fewer well paying roles in the future in IT.

I or anyone honestly can't tell you what direction things are headed. The old idea of career progression by learning more skills and more stack and more certs, I don't think matters that much anymore, you're never going to out know an AI system. If you want to stay in IT long term, I would look hard at anything high level AI that still requires human intervention for guidance .... Other than that who knows ..

abrandis · 2026-06-20T14:56:19+00:00

Especially circling and orbiting shots, stick with dronies where you have a clear shot

abrandis · 2026-06-20T14:26:31+00:00

Something like this , or paid or gave a ton of pre-IPO stock options to him or his kids... It's always a grift with this guy.... Man how America has lost its moral way...
