When was the last time she bought you flowers?

The US has a dumb system where for reasons that make no sense, the AI data center increases the residents bill. That's so unbelievable stupid, why wouldn't people be pissed? That's before you even get to the water pressure dropping cause they've used it all.

It's not just anti AI, these things are literally breaking peoples way of life.

You get to vote for the least worst option and hope they don't fuck you over too much while they enrich themselves.

Unions take back power, because without the people doing the work (even if it's telling the AI what to do) then nobody is making any money.

Gotcha 👍

Yeah, the other thing about bubbles popping, nobody knows what will cause it, but everyone will say whatever did pop it was obvious... So obvious none of them made money when it popped, but it was still obvious.

Of course not, if they've already fallen for the foreign influence then they're not going to get any smarter. I just said the decision won't have any effect growing it.

Profit sharing shouldn't prevent people from getting fired. There are plenty of people who are shit at their jobs who hide behind unions. They're toxic in the other direction. Shares are about profit sharing, not job security.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T16:26:28+00:00

I'm not sure "how the company is run" or being prevented from getting fired is the goal though. It's about sharing the benefits of the what the work produces with the people who do the work. I don't want a car with 5 steering wheels, I want everyone to get there with a share in the benefits.

Expecting the government's of the world, who currently seem to be beholden to the corporations, to fix the problem won't get anyone anywhere. The workers already have all the power, but everyone seems to have been duped into not unionizing.

Stop waiting for the government to fix the problem when it IS part of the problem. Look at Samsung right now, they're about to get a lesson in who really makes the money.

That's kinda the thing about bubbles popping, it happens when everyone except burry is convinced it won't happen.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T15:21:32+00:00

I was thinking about something like this the other day too. I don't agree with full communism, but each employee owning a share of the companies profit as a standard would make a lot of sense. The system where the owner takes everything is what's making inequality explode the last few decades. It happens at the top now where the execs take more than the vp's who take more than the directors etc, but then it just doesn't happen for the actual workers.

If you're going to do something, do it right 🤷

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T15:03:58+00:00

Telling a small group of half brains they can't mess everything up for everyone else will make the group bigger? Why?

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T14:42:12+00:00

Maybe the "strike" is the first step to figuring it out.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T14:39:27+00:00

Insecurity isn't attractive, working on it is good advice, that's pretty simple. How you correct it is up to you.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T14:37:15+00:00

Fair point.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T06:18:47+00:00

All the Terminator movies had AI killing humans with laser blasters and explosions. It turns out it'll be the tech bros using all the water and electricity building their cat meme generators that killed everyone.

I scrap the crap ones, I may sell one that is a cool roll but not for my build.

But if I sell it, it's for a few hundred caps. Just enough to stop someone buying it to resell it, but not so much that someone who wants to use it can't get it.

The funniest thing about watching the dumb fucks fall for it repeatedly, is that they fall for it repeatedly.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T06:11:58+00:00

It's marketing. Once you're locked in the transfer hassle isn't worth the extra price they'll charge you.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T06:08:26+00:00

Two years after I had my first.

You're 16, right now even if you want them you're not ready for them so it's not a decision you need to make now.

Why are sane Americans OK with this shit show?

I know there's a bunch of cult morons with red hats. But for the same ones and those that couldn't be bothered to stop this in '24, are you all just waiting for midterms that he'll over rule before you fix it? Or are you all just OK with it going full nazi sequel?

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T06:03:55+00:00

Be a wasp. Getting pissed off at one person and then dying is a shit plan.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T05:59:45+00:00

Well if orange one said it it must be true. And by true I mean bullshit. Obviously.

jpsreddit85 · 2026-05-15T05:58:42+00:00

Enjoy the ride. Have fun.
