Was die Rechten da als Wirtschaftspolitik machen, ist ein Rückzugskampf. Die CDU gibt europäische Technologieführerschaft im Automobilbau auf und igelt sich in der sicheren aber aussterbenden Verbrennerniesche ein.
Das wird Arbeitsplätze kosten und niemand von diesen Kurzblickern hat einen Plan, wie wir in anderen Bereichen Wertschöpfung in Deutschland und Europa sichern. Das wird uns Wohlstand kosten und unsere Abhängigkeit weiter steigern.

KI soll 600.000 fehlende Beamte ersetzen? Klingt wie der Plan eines Startups, das gerade seine erste Fördermillion verbrannt hat.

Problem 3: Bürger wollen keine Algorithmen. Sie wollen funktionierende Behördengänge. Wie bei Amazon. Nur ohne Prime-Mitgliedschaft.

Climate change isn't gender-neutral. The 2023/2024 El Niño drought in Southern Africa didn't just destroy crops—it fueled gender-based violence and put women environmental defenders at risk.

RE: https://phpc.social/@syntaxseed/115855415960085751
I have such conflicted thoughts on this.
What happened? Gross. It's very much a harm as a systemic effect of "AI"
But also _open source industry_ is in fact a thing I think has been deeply destructive and somewhat replaced the collectivist work done before. We could go back to that. That was good stuff.
But TailwindCSS is super popular.
I also think it's a bad technology, meant to undermine the foundations and design of CSS, leading us to technically worse places.
Also the business? It is selling themes and components.
That's a really hard business to be in. The time to buy a license comes in a project's lifecycle too early, so people avoid it. It's a weird business. Not one I think people should plan to have work.

Trump has a plan for the midterms, and ICE is a big part of it. He wants violence on our streets this year, because he thinks it will give him a pretext to attempt to “cancel” the election. So he’s pulled all guardrails off his masked thugs and given them the green light to be as abusive and cruel as possible, in the hopes that they’ll incite the American people to violence. That’s Trump’s plan.
