That's a lot of dough

OP doesn't realize he's an AI.

What their next prompt will be.

Because nothing says, "I should have children" than living under an overbearing autocratic government trying to control your life!

Stopped reading after this:

Take, for instance, the Democratic Party, whose immigration policy, at least for a large portion of the Biden presidency, has been to effectively open the southern border to all comers

What a load of bullshit! Border crossings went down under Biden earlier this year because of his aggressive enforcement efforts:

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/26/border-crossings-drop-biden-policy-00165055

Not only that but the article is implying that immigration through the southern border is where nearly all illegal immigrants come from. Most illegal immigration is from people who enter the country legally (from wherever) then overstay their visa.

The southern border is a problem for sure but the border policies of the Democrats are simply on par with the Republican policies (they both don't accomplish much since the border is just too fucking huge!). Basically, there's very little that can be done that hasn't already been tried.

Even if you institute mass deportations the people will just come back because getting into the US is just too easy and it's physically impossible to actually police the entire southern border let alone the entirety of the land and sea that borders the US.

Or the most obvious answer of all: Macs have a power button on the keyboard

Such a stupid thing to write about. Must be a really slow news day if they are writing about the location of the power button.

I think this one can be attributed to, "mere poor taste" and a lack of imagination.

If I were in charge of the leading image in the article I'd replace "cloud" with "shitstorm emoji" in the prompt. Then it would make more sense and be more applicable to VMWare.

What it proved is that the super rich have too much power. A power that shouldn't exist in a democratic society.

Right wing media has been given far too much leeway in spreading disinformation and misinformation. Every show, podcast, and news article that spreads easily disproven falsehoods should be prosecuted. Fuck "corrections". If an organization has to issue a correction that should be all they're allowed to say for at least a 24 hour period (basically, put them in timeout).

Basically, they need to be held to account for not doing due diligence on what they're reporting as fact. Unverified claims? It's simple: Don't publish that. Don't even bring it up as news at all until you feel safe defending your statements in a court of law.

We already have standards for defamation of individuals. What we need are standards of defamation of reality.

We can't rely on the civil court system to protect society from total bullshit. It's too expensive and there's so many ways to spout dangerous bullshit without defaming anyone.

Software patents shouldn't exist!

I don't believe he thinks that abstractly. Maybe his advisors will tell him as such and he'll do it but I have my doubts.

He wants his followers to love and worship him. Not operate in a, "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" sort of way. He just wants the, "you scratch my back" part.

By pardoning them he's sending a message that he'll do something for them for free. That's not how Trump operates. He's going to want something immediately in return; power or money or both. The Jan 6th insurrectionists don't have much of either.
