It was a good discussion. I think I understand a bit better how AI works and how it has worked in the past. Not sure I would recognize it, however. I have a question concerning sub-stack. Has AI creeped into Sub-stack comments? Or, perhaps into some of the chats? If so, how would I know? Thanks, Joe, Alex and Trygve.

DOGE and Project 2025 (now 46% complete and more) are daily dismantling America and stripping every American of their rights and freedoms and liberty and money and privacy..........with the help of the lawless Roberts Court, the corrupt regime, and the quisling Republicans......

Cheeto and Hidden Triple Taxation Cost of Living Just Went Up

The Nazis in control of Congress and WH with Project 2025 in hand have decided that Federal spending is out of control and the way to curtail it is to shift it to the consumer and if all else fails to the state budgets This is nothing but cost shifting to the consumer and state

WE the People pay income tax every April But the Orange Cheeto has created a second tier of taxation in the form of tariffs, ie a sales tax on imported goods and falsely claims that other countries are paying us the tariffs But what else is new, Cheeto lies about everything So unless TACO Cheeto reverses yet again the morning cup of Joe just got a lot more expensive And the consumer will be paying for it So every time Cheeto announces a 10, 20, or 30% tariff recognize that he is announcing a sales tax to us, WE the People, of 10, 20, or 30% And we are paying to the tune of a 100 billion dollars in tax revenue for the US Treasury

But wait for it, there’s another form of tax imposed by Cheeto’s and Nazi policies Who is going to pay for the lack of FEMA subsidies to disaster plagued areas such as Texas Through generous donations from private citizens pulling together to help those in need we pass off the costs to the states

But this cost shifting does nothing but increase the cost of living for all of us This is why Cheeto’s tariff strategy is inflationary, it’s costing all of us and decreases the purchasing power of the dollar

Because we’re just paying for Cheeto’s tax ploy and give tax cuts for the wealthy

To whomever had the stillborn little girl. I feel your pain. My little boy Alexander was stillborn at 19 weeks 6 days on September 9, 1987. He just looked like a little beet child. I can’t even IMAGINE losing a child at 38 weeks. I still weep for my baby son. I went on to have two beautiful daughters who are now 35 and 37 years old. Bed rest for both those babies from 20 weeks on.

With much Aloha

Good discussion. AI that counters or replaces hateful and divisive culture was enlightening to me.
