@SafeStreetRebel@sfba.socialLurie is cutting transit service and replacing it with Waymo. letting rich people clog up the street with robotaxis that stall all the time while regular people in buses get stuck behind is terrible policy and undoes the whole point of car-free Market. absolutely catastrophic

@grumpybozo@toad.socialThis might also explain why #OpenAI pushed ChatGPT to market before it was worth touching. If you can’t afford testing at scale, why not do a huge free public release so that you can call the last 80% of the dev effort “product support" which should be fully expensible.
NOTE: I AM NOT A TAX EXPERT AND THE ABOVE COULD BE ABSURD.

@pre@boing.world😆 Missile Air Defense As a Service
MAD AS you like.
In some ways a government paying by a subscription for a missile defense service has been inevitable since Reagan started the mission to Privatize Literally Everything.
The government will own nothing, and be happy.
States must do only one thing: Pay money to rich people to get them to do the things.
The idea of Reagan's Star Wars returning is pretty crazy in itself. That launching all those satellites would massively enrich the government's biggest donor is mostly just pretty typical corruption.
But having the government pay to rent it out is just amazing. 🧑🍳 💋
Hey, if Russia and China outbid America during the hour they were launching the missiles, that's just the free market!
Never really even know if it works without being attacked, but the rich owners get to extract the wealth from it all the same.
Rentierism? In this economy?
🤣
