Whenever I see the 1% or 99% numbers when discussing wealth inequality, this fact is the first thing that comes to mind. We need to use decimal points to get to the real ones in power. 1% contains a lot of people who have money, but are still out of the loop as the rest of us, or as Carlin said, "not in the Club". They are millionaires, but like they say, the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.

And that's US - many Americans are in the 1% in worldwide numbers, with rough income numbers being around half a million income. Again, they may or may not be comfortable depending on their expenses, but having money doesn't mean you have power. It's the .1 that is the beginning of that, and the .01 is moving the pieces for everyone.

(The numbers are just estimates, there's gray areas everywhere, the point is the top people want us to be yelling at the top middle and ignore what they do.)

Why wouldn't they give an example of what they are talking about?

My spirit animal. I'd rather be blamed for disrupting things than deal with the drama.

"I'm taking my toys and going home!"

"You owe me some tariff taxes on those."

"AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!"

It's not propaganda if anyone can try things out for themselves, and even use them both if they want. Stop trying to keep your MS stock high.

That isn't the reason to yeet Windows. If you were talking years ago about 7 or XP, things were different. 10 is not that great comparably, and 11 is a mess. But keep your Windows, if it's what works for you. Until it doesn't.

Dual boot for the best of both worlds (although I'm finding myself more and more on the Linux side because it's better for me.)

Isn't that now "PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES"?

Because having less knowledge always works out. Between this and the loss of FEMA, we should get even more "I didn't vote for this". Yes, you did. You just weren't listening.

It's the only way to authenticate that it truly is him.

The twist - AI was originally trained on human input, so it's human even with 99% bots, from a certain point of view.

For military stuff, I go to RadarBox.

Thankfully, there hasn't been any reason recently to look up military activity. 🙄
