Dear USians,

Also, apparently Divya has blocked me for this, which sucks because it has made it impossible for me to keep boosting her fundraiser, which you should, of course, still follow and support (link below).

So in another dream I just woke up from, I was talking to someone about "the idea problem" (that it's becoming harder to monitize ideas, from a vox article written by an AI cooked reporter).
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-it-could-happen-here-30717896/episode/executive-disorder-white-house-weekly-46-313675864/
Basically, I was arguing that the majority of inventions target men because patriarchy puts economic control in men's hands. As men have started to help more with childcare, there have been more inventions related to childcare. (I don't have any idea if this is true. Seems legit, but I'm just relating my dream. I think I was also oversimplifying a bit to "men" and "women" because of my audience, but anyway it was a dream.) There's actually more low-hanging fruit, I pointed out, related to making care work easier.
So I argued that the real problem was a failure to invest in research into solving that problem. Today there are all these boondoggles built around killing people. What if, instead of all this government research into killing people, we dumped a ton of money into making it easier to support a household? That would be great for the economy. (Being asleep, I seem to have forgotten that working people need money.)
In the blur of being just awake I started thinking about how you could kickstart the US economy by taking the money from the AI boondoggle and other autonomous murder bots and create something like a program to build robots for housekeepers. You'd still be funding tech with government money, so the same horrible people get paid, but you're now actually solving real problems. It wouldn't even matter if it was a boondoggle, honestly. Just dumping money into something other than murdering people is good enough.
I imagined first if there was a program to fund a robot housecleaner, like robot dog with AI some laundry pickup, that would be provided, free of charge, to help people with children. It would work the same as the military boondoggle where a private company makes the government buy a piece of hardware from them and then also pay them to service it for some number of years. But instead of that hardware sitting around waiting to kill someone, it would be getting brought to people's houses to help them.
Then I thought, hey, you could even boost the economy more if you just had government funding for doulas and housecleaners and paid them a living wage. Hey, you could really kickstart the economy by nationalizing healthcare and including doula support as part of all births. Oh, and you could also just include the optional household help for families with children until the kids turn 18.
None of this is perfect (I don't actually think most of this is possible from any state), but the point is that it's actually wildly easy to figure out all kinds of ways to invest in the economy and monitize ideas as long as you aren't entirely focused on the same old "make money from spying on people and killing them." Funny that. Like they said in the podcast, maybe "finding ideas" isn't the problem.
Hope you enjoyed the weird semi-awake brain dump/rant.

Some folks in the replies seem a bit confused about what that 3.5% counts, conflating it with polling or election results: “What if 3.5% support the authoritarian too? Who wins then??”
That study was specifically looking at (1) ongoing political engagement (2) in opposition to an authoritarian slide. It’s •not• a poll. It’s •not• an election. It’s •not• a popularity contest. It’s about how much active counter-engagement an authoritarian takeover can withstand.
If 3.5% of the population is actually •actively• engaged in opposition work on an •ongoing• basis, then that likely indicates a much broader base of less active and more intermittently engaged opposition — like maybe an order of magnitude larger! Who knows! The golden brown on top of the bread is a decent indicator of what’s happening inside.

If we focus on nothing but excitement about mass rallies until we get 3.5% of the population to participate, well, that’s like spray-painting the bread to bake it.

I’ve been really interested in both aspects of this post:
1. ICE right-wing fringe groups conspicuously steered clear of protests yesterday in a way that suggests that orders went out (whose?) and/or (I’m guessing “and”) that there’s a sense from those people that they don’t have public support and don’t have free license to instigate violence.
2. Police went out of their way to put on a friendly face. I’ve been getting vibes that some local police resent ICE — “this is OUR turf, beating up Black and brown people was OUR job” — and, contrary to what we and the regime might expect, ICE isn’t always getting free support by default from that quarter.
Caveats: No solid conclusions here, just reading vibes. And even if it is actually true for now, all of this can shift on a dime. Still, sure is notable. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mxc7liuon6iq5gzapmmwkq22/post/3m3krd3w4s22k
