@br00t4c And given the heavy ratio of 'small business owners' among the J6 prisoners, I bet they will provide wonderful opportunities (fronts) for illicit dealings once they get out

@br00t4c They are their own worst enemies. I've long counted on them tearing themselves apart if they ever succeed in (re)gaining power.
As a wise fellow once commented, "Make my enemies ridiculous"

@br00t4c There's a long history of white collar GOP going to jail, but that is a completely different matter than where the J6ers and like have been ending up. Think Bannon went to a pretty cushy lockup though (?)

@br00t4c Was a valuable insight! You post such a diverse range of links I'd not have expected you to be plugged into this specific, and important, area.
There is a massive need for prison reform. What is going on in a lot of places is the _opposite_ of rehabilitation.

@br00t4c Love this! Please post more original stuff

"Ynet is reporting that ten days before the attack the Director of the General Intelligence Directorate of Egypt, Abbas Kamel, called Netanyahu and warned “something fierce will happen from Gaza”. Netanyahu, according to this report, reacted in a nonchalant fashion and said the IDF had its hands full with events in the West Bank."

@Are0h I am not a total anti-capitalist but our world (US in particular) really seems to have its priorities completely out of whack and that leads to brilliant people struggling and hacks getting rich hand over fist

@Are0h
That bit about them creating a version of you that doesn't exist rings so true of US politics in general these days.
Also reminded me of Captain America punching Nazi's but wanted something with Luke Cage. This seemed sort of appropriate...

@Are0h I seem to recall Mr. Cage had his share of money woes though :)
This has been a good reminder to chip in a bit to both your Go Fund me and my fedi host

@Are0h Lol, I was about to do this...

But see you already called out their projection later in the toot 😆

@DeanBaker13
But isn't the whole goal of this hypothetical surge in productivity that the owners will no longer have to pay any workers?
@JamesGleick

@DeanBaker13
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm with you on it being pie in the sky at this point. I'd expect fusion power to be commercially viable before we have true AI (which will happen just before Teslas are truly self driving :P )
