Yall Wanna Make a Project 2029?

Did you guys see this?

Democratic Project 2029 calls for child social media ban, strict kids safety rules on tech

It's another Patriot Act. Another Citizens United. "Kids over Clicks".

I'm so serious - yall wanna make a vote/poll/something for issues that must be addressed? I'm sure there are think tanks for this sort of thing, but that article pissed me off

Liberalism driving us further and further into fascism, avoiding socialism at any cost to protect corporations

Reserves, Depressions & Things to Consider

Long ago, I decided to stop trying to learn/understand/predict what/when/how the bubble would pop. I am still not interested.

Only providing this because it pertains to global financial markets and I'm not reading anyone other than geopolitical analysts talking about it.

There is simply no feasible way to prevent the emptying of the reserve, for two individually pressing reasons:

(1) Iran will not accept Israeli presence in Lebanon. There will be no deal that separates IRGC and Hezbollah; if you follow geopolitics, this is a known thing. Bibi says he's not leaving.

The point: Strait will remain closed.

(2) Lloyd's of London (insurer of ~80% of worlds oil vessels) said that they would need "strong evidence" that the strait is fully de-mined before they consider sending any ships that are docked in the gulf. This is assuming the war is over/goes cold.

Estimates for the full de-mining process is "months or longer".

The point: Even if it opened, it would take a while before it leaves, let alone processed and distributed.

AP: Bernie Sanders unveils plan to give the public direct ownership of AI companies

I'm getting tired of this guy. I've been having debates with other leftist friends of mine about Bernie, his actions historically and his actions - more divisively (amongst my group) - on AI "reform".

This just feel like another veiled pro-corporation stance. OWNERSHIP OF WHAT? There no profit! This is just nationalizing AI

I swear Bernie's job is to drain the revolutionary spirit out of any leftist/pro-worker movement

Anyway, sorry about the rant - here's the link
