I don't. I work every day to help my community and I hope you do the same.

Then don't call for one. If you'd like to change your community, again, I'd recommend you to stop being scared and just start talking to more people around you.

Jesus Christ. If this is what brings you to a surveillance state with open arms maybe you should talk to people outside of your bubble.

Re:The US Government Is Now a Shareholder in 26 Companies
on Friday July 03, 2026 @10:53AM (#48775785)
I agree that corporate taxes are not working at this time for one specific country. But the claim of "corporate taxes don't work" is much more broad and not something I've seen specific evidence for. My understanding was that historically corporate taxes have been extremely effective, even if those taxes aren't paid the profits of a company are instead redirected as other investments.

"the industry" is not some monolith, and treating it as such is no productive. There are all types of software and many ways in which it is created. If the companies that are "AI enabled" are so much better we should see some big changes soon. But I'm still waiting for products I use from "AI enabled" companies to start churning out features at unprecedented speed.

I am so over this. I cannot take anyone seriously that claims inevitability of their ideas, and how you must adopt them without "being left behind". If these tools are so good and so capable the result should be able to speak for themselves rather than this FOMO inducing, emotional language.

I'm not saying this is wrong, that makes a lot of sense. But on the other hand why have I never heard of other, much more dense countries facing this problem? I just never hear of Japan, China, Germany, Taiwan, etc seeing overcrowded trains and raise their hands saying "there can't possibly be a solution!"

I reckon we agree more than we disagree, but there is a dichotomy of expansive and contractive technologies. Much of the computer industry has given more agency, choice, and knowledge to people.
