A MODEST PROPOSAL
I don't need a $20,000 manikin not quite capable of loading the dishwasher.
I don't need AI to drive my car.
Why not create a non-anthropomorphic bot that finds a homeless person and provides essential life support such as shelter and nutrition?
Fund it from the police budget.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Opinion | New ICE leadership brings more violence, no accountability and zero oversight
If Border Patrol leaders take over ICE, it's likely both agencies will continue avoiding repercussions for violence and deaths in custody.

California native wildflowers called Woolly Bluecurls (Trichostema lanatum). They smell amazing like a Logan berry/Grape mix and are a known native American medicine. Boil the plant, breathe the steam to clear congestion.
