… as hundreds of billions of dollars are flooding into artificial intelligence, there are serious concerns that an AI bubble could trigger another bailout with taxpayer money.
In the interview that follows, leading progressive economist Gerald Epstein, who initiated and directs the Game Changers project at the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, talks about AI’s impact on finance and the bailout problem and how a transformative public finance strategy can revive democracy, promote equity and social justice, and build strong and sustainable communities.
If you think that you can elect progressive Democrats to turn this all around…
… you’re just fucking wrong.
The Democrats have been for sale since the 1960s… it’s pretty obvious.
Do you know the Ds have pitched universal healthcare for over 30 years?
For about as long as the Rs have pitched “smaller government.” How many times will you let them fool you? Don’t be a sucker.
Buddy…
If you don’t like the candidate in the general, the time to do something was during the primary.
If you think shitty incumbents can’t be unseated and progressives can’t become incumbents, you just haven’t been paying attention.
And I’d bet my house that you don’t have an alternative, you just want people to disengage from the democratic process. Which is fucking stupid because if you vote, it doesn’t mean you can’t do anything else. And if you’re doing anything else, why the fuck wouldn’t you also take the time to vote?
How do you legitimately not understand the answer is absolutely never “vote less”?
Libs really think they can vote themselves out of capitalism and the climate crisis, how sad is that?
Another .ml account that is just starting to get active before the midterm to attack Dems…
Shocking…
Being prone to conspiratorial thinking and at the same time being a victim of the US education system and lacking critical thinking skills is a pretty macabre combination.
But sure, anyone who disagrees with you is a bot, or a paid shill!
Im specifically talking about:
It’s a pattern, recognizable by everyone not on .ml or a handful of troll instances.
Like, you’re literally out here telling people not to vote:
And you’re surprised people don’t like that?
Yeah there’s really nothing to lose by voting
It’s already shitcanned and they aren’t doing the thing that needs to be done. May as well turn up to vote.
