Bernie is an Independent, so it’s more like 95

Here’s her words on it

When I moved to AI Platform, I was excited to contribute to cutting-edge AI technology and its applications for the good of humanity: accessibility products, translation services, and tools to “empower every human and organization to achieve more.” I was not informed that Microsoft would sell my work to the Israeli military and government, with the purpose of spying on and murdering journalists, doctors, aid workers, and entire civilian families. If I knew my work on transcription scenarios would help spy on and transcribe phone calls to better target Palestinians (source), I would not have joined this organization and contributed to genocide. I did not sign up to write code that violates human rights.

No, they salivate in anticipation.

That’s true, they’d say welfare Queen or something

It’s just the kind of shit a con would say just to fuck with people

I don’t think these types of challenges are, in any way helpful or in our collective benefit.

Or hang on to it for when that doesn’t matter at all.

That’s what we just tried (over the past century), when we gave an inch they took the whole god damn country. I don’t think the compromise approach will ever work.

It’s not irony, it’s authoritarians!

unless the fourteenth amendment overrides both treaty and statute

It absolutely does! That’s the point!

Let’s just water down that word until it means nothing…

Was just before Christmas

I just bought a year of it :(

Sounds like that’s your deal.

Which is why billionaires shouldn’t be a thing.

I find articles on the onion to be funny in some way. This was just naked approval of the status quo.

I think “describing it as if it were normal” only helps the people who support this arrangement because it gets normalized. That’s where the accusation of conservatism came from, that and the way they tried to shut me down with insults.

Edit: given that there are likely to be a lot of people that agree with this argument unironically, doesn’t it seem irresponsible to play some game where you pretend like you support it? Without ever coming out against it at the end?

Really, it’s just naked approval, with any disapproval left as an exercise to be performed by the reader.

Ii is the real state of the world, but I don’t see any disapproval in the text.

Who would build any sort of factory if they did not know that many people would be available to take the jobs at low-pay rates

Much of the hunger lirerarure talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense

No one works harder than hungry people.

[…]well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work

For those of us at rhe high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster.

I guess the irony is lost on me. Nothing here indicates that it’s wrong or should change. Also, you’re a huge asshole.

Edit: in fact I know people (conservatives) who are totally fine with this arrangement. They are huge assholes too, huh isn’t that weird.

This is just a bad thing to say to someone. That’s all.
