Sweet! Can we get advertising on the inside of the WHB for all the sponsors? Maybe some cameras connected to AI to ensure people are enjoying themselves...
So... if the building is being paid for by Trump (sourced from these donors), does that mean he continues to own it even after he leaves office? Or is he donating these White House improvements to the American people?
Perhaps he would choose to knock it down at the end of his term. I'm not sure under what terms the President is given the White House. It doesn't sound like there's any requirement to return it in the condition they find it.
Tech and AI is acting like there will totalitarian rule and right wing will rule forever. Maybe so, but we aren't there yet. Setting themselves up to reap the whirlwind when another party takes power.
People in power tend to like totalitarianism, it's an easy pathway to buddy up to whomever is in power and get around all those pesky issues like competition, rules, etc.
The masses shouldn't, but sometimes they do, foolishly.
we're getting pretty darn close; all we need is a subverted election -- if it almost succeeded in 2020 you can be sure it's going to succeed in 2028 -- to close the circle
They aren't. House reps and Senators both spend over half their time fundraising, they're gonna behave perfectly normally and ignore whatever they need to for fundraising purposes.
All the right wingers yelling about elite conspiracies, pedo's etc. Trumpism is a group of them wallowing in plain site. Right wingers sure got quiet. It's called white identity politics and big tech sure flocked to it when the door opened. DEI for wealthy white sociopaths
Nah, not this time, they've gone way too far for that. I think Democrats will make a real big effort to make peace with the average GOP / Trump supporter, but not the elite enablers.
Amusing. The typical businessperson anywhere complies with whatever rules an admin requires in order to do their business. The typical politician wants to create a loyalty based system since that allows him to be a kingmaker.
One of the defining aspects of low-corruption societies is that they don’t have the loyalty based systems and instead have rule of law. But now we see how the loyalty systems come about: it isn’t the politician who makes it; it’s the populace.
Given a single deviation from the low-corruption norm, they demand loyalty test based operation and would rather move towards high-corruption.
A low-corruption society is therefore an unstable equilibrium. The moment a norm deviation occurs, the people desire greater norm deviation.
