AI Is Making Your Life More Expensive
AI has yet to prove it is worth a dime. It gets everything wrong, guesses non stop about answers, and most of you just take what it says as gospel, but this slop is costing your more than your intelligence at this point in time.
AI is pushing inflation higher and further compounding longstanding affordability concerns in the process. Plus, these price pressures aren’t expected to go away anytime soon, and they very well could broaden.
higher inflation means that households must spend just over $375 more to purchase the same goods and services as they did this time last year due to AI’s inflationary impact.
Data centers are demanding huge amounts of power, and that’s tending to crowd out the electricity available to distribute to residents; it’s also led to wholesale electricity prices being bid up, because data centers are willing to pay the price that providers ask them for, and that ends up also raising the prices for residential electricity costs.
Congrats, you get to pay more to turn on your lights so you can talk to a brain dead robot on the computer about your relationship problems….
How the Justice Department is Secretly Engineering a Nationwide Abortion Ban
A leaked recording exposed Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche using a private White House Faith Office call with anti-abortion extremists to admit the Justice Department is actively conspiring with federal agencies to force the Dobbs ruling onto every single state.
This backdoor collusion completely eviscerates the fraudulent conservative defense that abortion belongs with local voters, exposing a coordinated federal plot to override state laws and jam reproductive tyranny down the throats of the entire country.
Blanche and this fanatical administration are openly weaponizing the nation's highest law enforcement apparatus, turning federal agencies into an occupying force to criminalize medication abortion by mail and police women's bodies. But these sick old fucks won’t release the Epstein files…
This disgusting executive overreach strips fundamental human rights from over half the American population, reducing women to legally downgraded, second-class citizens whose private medical decisions are dictated by state control.
Trump is Trying to Pass a Delusional Ban on Chinese Optical Transceivers That Will Total the American Tech Sector
This stupid ass administration is doing all they can to fuck up this country. This morning Trump is pushing a brain-dead policy to block Chinese optical transceivers from data centers later this year, a move that will completely stall out the physical hardware required to route fiber-optic data for AI clusters.
This shit is catastrophic because US alternatives like Coherent and Lumentum have absolutely zero capacity to build these parts at scale, leaving tech giants holding the bag with empty data center shells they can’t wire up.
Tech operators like Amazon Web Services are going to see construction costs skyrocket into orbit because cutting off market leaders like Zhongji InnoLight forces a desperate scramble for nonexistent domestic supply.
Forcing a hard pivot away from Chinese tech under the paranoid excuse of stopping network spyware is a self-inflicted wound that cripples our own AI infrastructure while domestic manufacturing is still years away from being ready. Another policy to kneecap Americans and make shit cost way more…
