Is it confusing when he is honest or what? I don’t get it. Even a broken clock can be right twice per day.
Trump and other republicans in government power staged an attempted coups on Jan 6. It’s not a conspiracy theory or anything, I didn’t even realize this was debated, it’s literally what happened.
I think this is probably more getting at the issue of income inequality, which certainly exists in Hollywood as well as most walks of American life. UBI would go a long way towards mitigating the worst of it.
Also, I love the prospect of AI replacing CEOs. For one, their obscene salaries could be divested across the workforce to level the playing field even more. But you have to wonder if the “ruthless CEO” mentality, to generate ever increasing profits by any means necessary, is a feature not a bug…and whether it would be considered the same by the curators, or maintainers, of said AI
Yeah I hear you, the future is bright if we can escape the grip of capitalist grindset - aka, WASP work ethic. Why should we have to toil the majority of our waking lives just to survive? Can the AI set us free, and if it does, will advancement grind to a halt beyond this point? These are some big questions that will need answered in our lifetimes.
I personally think the machines can be our emancipation to usher in a new era of enlightenment, but they could just as easily be our destruction. One thing that gives me hope is that it really seems the boomer generation are the ones most hell-bent on amassing wealth and power just for the sake of it. Most of the rest of us would be content just to have a decent life. Hopefully as the older generations give way to time, we can realize a more equitable future for all.
thehill, right wing rag wishful thinking
Biden has the power today to completely eliminate student loan debt via the 1965 higher education act. Alternatively, he could expand the Supreme Court to 13 or more justices to cancel out the conservative activist judges.
There are real actions Biden can take today to deliver on this supposed promise. And yet, the same bad dude who brought us legislation to ensure you can’t be rid of student loan debt via bankruptcy, somehow can’t come up with a way to get this job done. Hmm. Meme checks out.
once again, repugs proving themselves an absolute clown show 🤡
Are you familiar with the HEROES act from 2003? This is specifically what Biden and his legal team were relying upon for their recent attempt at student loan forgiveness. SC isn’t going to throw them a bone and try to broadly interpret other laws to support their case, that’s the attorney’s job which is supposed to be done at the time of filing. The 1965 law is different, and gives the executive absolute authority to cancel student loan debt. Which is why Biden didn’t invoke it.
In terms of restructuring the court, yes it is a dangerous precedent, but the strategy here is to legitimately threaten it and get them to all of the sudden see reason, instead of having to follow through. This has been done successfully a few times throughout history in times when the court has overreached.
This is actually quite simple - Biden can use his power and influence to materially improve the lives of the financially enslaved student populace, and he is choosing not to. He will side with corporations every time, as he has done throughout his entire political career. Have you been paying attention?
I don’t think SC has as much wiggle room to justify a squash attempt under 1965 HEA, the law is written very plainly there.
You’re right about executive overreach though, Biden would have to rally his congress to resize the court. He could have leveraged the majority activists handed him via GA in his first 2 years to do this. And when certain scumbag senators refuse to play ball, campaign aggressively in their home districts against them - whatever he has to do to fight for us. Which he isn’t going to do at all.
Not a terrible idea but we are in for some suffering for the duration of these younger heritage foundation appointees. This is the sad result of the dual party system, courts could never remain unbiased without a meaningful 3rd party represented in congress.
I would also propose term limits. A life prison sentence is 20 years, so why not a lifetime SC appointment capped at the same timeframe?
