Money wins, every time.
And right there, you answered your own (presumably rhetorical) question.
The money people jumped on AI as soon as they scented the chance of profit, and that's it. ALL other considerations are now secondary to a handful of psychopaths making as much money as possible.
The "why" is certainly that someone in the state beef industry gave him a pile of money.
A Supreme Court justice, on the other hand, costs as much as a luxury motor home.
Exactly as much as a luxury motor home in fact...
Ironic that the thread is about men dying on average younger than women, and the majority of the responses are people completely ignoring that fact and instead just taking an opportunity to negatively stereotype men so they can shit on them collectively.
This whole thing is just creepy as hell. This guy has some serious and disturbing psychological issues.
And he's a fucking politician. People actually decided that they wanted him to represent them in government.
More all the time, I feel like I've somehow been trapped on an alien planet, surrounded by a bizarre race of inexplicably stupid lunatics.
So at this point, I'm just wondering - traitor, lunatic or moron?
He's obviously at least one of the three, but which one(s)?
Well... except that "cis" is actually a shortened form of the precise, latin-rooted, technical term "cisgender," which is the opposite of the precise, latin-rooted, technical term "transgender."
And it has nothing at all to do with heterosexuality, or with sexual preference in any way, shape or form.
So he's not just wrong, but wrong in pretty much every way he could possibly have been.
Which seems to be pretty much par for the course for the world's richest middle-aged teenage edgelord.
Ah... the venerable old "make a 'loan' then forgive it" strategy for paying bribes.
At this point Thomas might as well have a tattoo across his forehead that says "I am corrupt."
If he had even a speck of integrity, he'd resign.
Well yeah - it's not an evil product. As an inanimate object, it can't possess a moral quality.
Moral qualities are only rightly assigned to conscious beings - like, for example, corporate CEOs.
Of course they did - that's the point.
And it doesn't matter in the slightest that there's no substance to any of their allegations, because the entire purpose is just to get the idea that there's something there to investigate out into the world.
And it'll likely work, no matter what, because Republican voters are angry morons, so all they're going to get no matter what is "investigate the Jan. 6 investigators because [words]," so it really doesn't matter if those words make sense or not.
