  • You’re downvoted, maybe because people think you promoted the current system (I don’t see that), but what you wrote is technical correct.

    The US has less regulations than it used to have, but there are still rules (e.g. laws against insider trading and stock manipulation, labour laws, consumer and environmental protection etc.).

    Unfortunately the existing rule are being gamed into oblivion and I’m not saying they are sufficient nor do I deny their decline. I’m just saying it could (and maybe will) be worse than now.



  • To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.

    There’s a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.

    Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
    “It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.

    Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.

    Am I missing something?






  • Are you seriously ill, but don’t want to leave a ton of medical debts to your family?

    Then donate your brain tissue to BrainCloud™! Instead of costing your family a lot of money, you might make them Millionaires* and also reduce CO2 emissions of world leading AI applications! Leaving a better world for our children!
    And who knows, maybe you will even enjoy thinking about chat bot responses in weird nightmarish ways for the rest of what might seem like an eternity.

    ~*We offer a donation compensation of up to $1.000.000. Actual rates depend on brain capabilities, size and constitution. Payouts are determined by our quality assurance team. Payouts are not guaranteed. In cases of brain tissue with insufficient quality, compensational fees for testing, lab work, and services may be charged to the donor’s family.~



  • Let’s take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.

    • This is intended to create division and make money (like Frank Reynolds would).
    • Neighbours shooting neighbours or rural folks shooting city people (or the other way around), that won’t lead to any takeover or to any surrendering of power on a larger scale.
    • That’s just terrorism and could (at most) cause chaos and terror.
    • If there actually was domestic violence on a larger scale, it would come down to: who controls the military or which part of the military is on which side.
    • I would avoid meaningless skirmishes e.g. in a suburb of Seattle.

    I’m not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.
