No, it’s because late stage capitalism requires prices to go up all the time, while salaries stagnate. People are spending way more of their income on housing these days, and even with two incomes they’re living paycheck to paycheck. Why would anyone need to be propagandized? It’s literally dual income or bust.

In a lot of areas, two incomes per household is the only thing that keeps it a household. There is no need for propaganda.

You’re just saying that because you know you’re going to do it on accident anyway, and you’re trying to get ahead of it

Have you ever been tempted to? It was marketed as “the anti-woke AI” from day one, which is just another way of saying that the target audience is bigots and other flavors of dipshits. It’s not like these latest developments are a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention. Making it Nazi was the spoken goal from day 1.

Don’t forget falsifying. If the information was trustworthy it’d actually be a useful tool.

Is it still a DEI hire if it’s also a glass cliff?

Lone Wolf type attacks do have a much lower chance of being discovered, but that doesn’t change that just running at a group of armed agents is dumb. Planting a bomb or sniping them at a distance seems like something with a higher chance of success. Or even a suicide vest, since surviving certainly wasn’t a goal for the guy.

Sure, but that’s not what’s going to happen as a side effect of taxing unrealized gains, like what was discussed in this thread until now. A gradual transfer of ownership to the workers would have to be nudged in some other way.

In competitive industries (read: tech) this does happen to some extent in the form of stock being part of the compensation, but that’s not going to happen organically for every employment situation.

Give up control to whom? Some megacorp with infinite money would just buy a majority stake (often referred to as a hostile takeover) and wind up owning everything to an even larger extent than today.

I’m not afraid of voicing my opinion, but what’s the point? Everyone is firmly in their trenches, so at best you get approving nods, at worst you get an argument which is equal parts futile and frustrating.

The only times I mention it is when my opinion is across the grain. For example, whether to require voter ID is a hot topic, and in my opinion it’s being discussed all wrong. Why is no one pointing out that everyone should be able to get a proper ID? That’s the real problem we should solve. So much stuff other than voting requires ID, so life must suck if you don’t have one. Let’s fix that!

The issue with realizing the gains is that you have to relinquish control of your company bit by bit. However, you could have the company (which you likely control) give out dividends, or you could use the stock as collateral for a loan. Or just pay yourself a bigger salary.

The state is a pretty big employer, so that portion might be held back for a while. That would still have to be paid by the end of the year, though.

Somehow property taxes are okay, though, even though we haven’t realized the gains!

From https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/24/mayoral-election-first-round-results-cuomo-mamdani/:

In this ranked-choice primary election, Lander cross-endorsed Mamdani as his number-two pick, meaning that many voters who selected Lander are likely to send additional votes to Mamdani in the final tally.

So I’m guessing Cuomo didn’t think round two was going to do him any favors.

Not the most famous by any means, but about 30 years ago I saw an episode of Cheers where Frasier Crane’s ex-wife was trying to win him back, and she supplies her phone number through a singing doll. The doll repeated the number so many times that I still remember it: 555-6792.

They probably figured hurting her or locking her up would be too bad PR. Which is ironic, considering they’re okay with committing genocide.

Exactly. Looks a lot like they found the gun near the scene of the crime, and then planted it in his backpack. That makes a lot more sense than him hauling it and an incriminating manifesto with him for several days. If he wanted to do the manifesto thing he’d have left it at the scene of the crime. None of that evidence makes sense.

The court is also going to need to decide if the cops planted the evidence he conveniently carried with him several days later.

This response is also too vague. You need to at the very least ask what kind of position OP is interviewing for.
