I think it’s bad that so many on the left were willing to reflexively believe and parrot the idea that Jasmine Crockett is somehow a puppett for AIPAC despite the fact she’s taken…no money from AIPAC...

Yep. We talked about this a lot. We had tons of leverage as employees. They hated it and took the first opportunity to reverse that dynamic.
Tech owners got furious after white collar demands in 2020 and have been getting revenge ever since
I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.

this is so real, I think there is a basic human psychological process that takes place here but there are simply better and more insightful RNGs than AI advisors
if you're into AI "advisors" and find their insights helpful, may I non-ironically recommend seriously considering: tarot
- connection to your subconscious
- therapeutic or confessional as need be
- patterns of meaning
- self-determined takeaways
- no need to google facts afterwards

Furthermore, the government set up the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, where it is *easier* for families to be compensated than it would be in court.
But, you see, Attorney Siri and RFK Jr.’s firms can’t profit from these cases because the government capped what attorneys can get for them.
