Remember kids, if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't theft.

What did anyone expect? Both sides take military industrial complex money

All power is abused because humans are human. Pretending like it's an issue of government and not of human nature is hilarious

Agreed.

More money to investigations and less money to pretend humane ways to kill people. The only humane way to kill someone is a shot to the cerebellum, any other way is just a way to make the assholes killing someone and those watching feel better about themselves, it doesn't positively impact those being executed at all.

Even the "most humane" lethal injection is one of the worst ways to kill someone that I know of, and after several years in the military I would choose the actually humane option of a bullet over ANY dipshit politicians push for their incompetent and clearly inhumane suggestions that exist purely to profit chemical corporations.

Refer to my reply to the other guy, I mentioned this and agree with you.

We should be furthering financing of better investigations into people that go to prison or death row and just shooting the people that do deserve it.

Yea, your intellectual dishonesty regarding this doesn't really change the core of the matter of morons doing or believing anything a celebrity says or does.

But good try

It's expensive because of the means of execution (and investigation to determine qualifying fault) and we should be applying the required amount of investigation time FOR ALL CRIMES that put people behind bars, not JUST people sentenced to death.

I'd rather spend the money to insure someone actually deserves to die or be in prison rather than have questions AT ALL surrounding the potential of an innocent person being sent to prison or executed.

The amount of innocent people in prison is ludicrous and the amount of people in prison for completely asinine and incompetent laws is beyond ridiculous.

If you're braindead enough to just go out and buy anything a celebrity endorses, I don't feel anything but derision for you.

Most celebrities don't even have the education or critical thought to back most of their wholly incompetent opinions, so people getting tricked by AI is really a non-issue since they're dumb enough to think that what a celebrity talks about or endorses has any meaning or impact whatsoever.

There's a middle ground where we can easily achieve a decent public education, effective healthcare, UBI and investment in military technology.

This isn't a situation where it's one or the other, and it rarely ever is a situation where it's one or the other.

UBI is neither left or right, it's ridiculously logical. If people don't have money, you don't have an economy. No economy, no taxes, no taxes, no government, no government, no support for the people and no military, no military, no defense from aggressors, no defense from aggressors, welcome back to the age of Gengis Khan.

You don't need to assign a political leaning to something that's fundamentally economic in nature.

There are entire industries that are dying as we speak and they will NOT be returning and they will NOT have jobs to replace them like there has been throughout history of automation. (Manufacturers got automated bots, but those bots required people to set, align, and assist or repair. Now all of this will be able to be done by other bots with a single site overseer who, eventually, will also be a bot)

This isn't a printing press situation where the writers are replaced by a printing press so they can better focus on journalism instead of writing individual papers by hand, this is a situation where we will have entire industries die and entire sets of professionals age out and entire professions lost to the void.

Another example of this would be bank tellers vs ATM's back in the day, the tellers thought ATM's would remove their jobs, it reduced their jobs at first, then changed their jobs outright to financial administration and management, rather than doling out cash to people, made their jobs more efficient and fundamentally different.

This is not that situation. The tellers will lose their jobs as well this time, and so will the bank managers and investors.
