If they were getting rich from this they would have ice on speed dial.
The real quote " thanks to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the shaky economy."
It’s the shaky economy that is their problem. They didn’t profit from the hollowing out of their community. They support the deportations. They got theirs. That’s why support is flagging.
For her that would have worked out.
They expected to become rich. They was the sum total of the thought.
Hmmm… I’ll have to check in on binface lore.
Is there a nationality requirement for the position?
Count binface is not British, he is a space alien.
It seems a lot of what is going on in this thread needs to have some therapy and possibly medication.
It’s important to get that help when you needed it.
Sounds like the OP is getting to the right space , but could benefit from some guidance on how to deal with being treated so poorly.
All options given in this thread will an absolutely absurd reductions of what would be several hundred pages of serious discourse.
Throwing out side comment as you did adds nothing to the discourse at all.
You can easily have an hour conversation on adoption and only break the surface.
Adoption is going to be hard depending on the state you are from. Where I’m from the state will basically hand you a kid for foster care, but make it a multi year legal struggle to adopt that child even if the birth parents relinquish rights
The comments here aren’t to solve some strangers problems but provide some solace in what is obvious a hard time in their life. Being involved and kids wanting one and yet not having a relationship is a super rough place to be in. Being reminded there are options may be enough.
If they wanted real answers there are much more focused places than Lemmy to get information. Sometime people just need to not be alone.
. No reason to make a new kid when there are kids out there who need help. Start as a foster parent and work from there.

I have never seen that happen. I have only seen companies get bailed out. It’s been decades since a giant insolvent company was split apart and sold for pennies on the dollar. They just enough money to buy financially solvent competition

They did a better job by offering an unsustainable variety of programming from all the studios in one place at the same time. All of the competitors at the time only offered financially viable services.
I believe in ai now because I looked at the Netflix balance sheet and thought. “There is NO WAY they could become profitable they are spending wayyy to much money and have way to much debt. It’s financially impossible to get out of this hole”
I understand how it worked and how it could not have. There are a lot of ways this could fail on AI but there are some real ways forward. AI has a similar application reach as the internet. It’s world changing.
I see why meta and google are going in hard. They lived though the rise and fall of blockbuster. They saw Sony release 3 different steaming services before after and during Netflix. This is the disruption for the current generation of tech and their revenue model.
Someone is going to ‘Win’ AI and a lot of others will loose.

Catholics are up soon. Evangelicals will flat out try and convert them since they are not Christians.
It was just easier. I grew up after the Vietnam war and before the gulf one.
There was more help for people from the government. There was more freedom in daily life.living was easier. A 17year old could get a roommate and support themselves living independently working part time at fast food places. Simply having a job was enough to live.
There was a difference between being poor and being in poverty.
College was something you could get a job and work through with minimal debt.
Computers were just getting popular when I was young and it was easy to get a job based On what would now be basic technical skills.
The internet made noises and was crunchy.
People still struggled but I was easier for my generation than it is for the current kids.
It seems to be less of an operating system and more a purpose designed utility that replaces the operating system.
It’s a great idea.
Same way Kmart bought sears. It’s fairly common for smaller companies to buy larger ones at this point.
Remember the discovery ‘channel ‘ bought Warner brother whole ass media conglomerate and at the end of the deal the people who made that happen made 10’s of billions.
It’s all about system design. Hydraulic breaks are a known quantity with a long development time .
Modern cars already physically separate drivers from the transmission and steering. Steering is drive by wire and transmissions are computer controlled , I can suggest a gear with a button or paddle.
Breaks are the next function to be moved from hydraulic to electric systems.
If it is implemented as well as steer by wire it should be safe as the current technology.
‘Classic’ cars can be heavy enough to boil brake fluid in heavy breaking situations. Once the fluid boils you lose all breaking power at once on all 4 wheels.
Can also boil break fluid if a wheel bearing fails while driving( repair shop packed it too tight)
Also the magic stop juice comes out if you panic stomp on the breaks while headed down an icy hill.
I’m sad to see the employees get nabbed, but I am happy to see the employers get fined.
The fastest way to true reform is to make the people benefiting from undocumented labor pay the fines.
