None, until child labor is legal in all 50 states as the Founders intended.

A million years ago I got their print catalogs, which were like 60 pages made up of the last two pages of old comic books. The emphasis was on "surplus." They had fresnel lenses for big screen TVs, strong magnets, unbranded auto solenoids, and factory-second microscopes and inflatable rafts. I suspect their impending demise can be traced to more efficient markets for random crap and more efficient manufacturing processes and supply chains. But if they manage to sell four of these Panzer tank sights, they'll be in the black again.

Don't waste time airing your paranoia on Slashdot, that's just what They want you to do!

This administration hates competition.

The Fugitive Slave Act also commandeered free state law enforcement. States' Rights was never more than a fig leaf for people who liked strange fruit.

Your employer can tell when you're too stressed to work! They can also tell when you could keep going, but just don't wanna, because you think your laptop is also your replacement!

It's like the old saying: "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride;" Harvard's pool of applicants is now smaller and of somewhat lower quality than it would have been, because of the additional uncertainty. And the term "additional uncertainty" now includes a risk of being deported to Sudan for writing an OpEd in the school paper, so you can imagine how this shapes the applicant pool for less prestigious schools.

Also, FWIW, an adjudicated rapist, obvious con-man, and florid dementia patient got a plurality of the popular vote, so how good can the American education system pretend to be?

Red States are more likely to prosecute women for getting an abortion.

Not exclusively robots, but enough. The first chart in this American Enterprise Institute page tells the tale: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aei.org%2Fcarpe-diem... You can't strawman away 45 years of increasing manufacturing output accompanied by declining manufacturing employment, nor can you Great Pumpkin the jobs back to 1980 levels.

Babies don't have enough self awareness to feel that another (very different) mode of living invalidates their own natural (but essentially arbitrary) preferences.

To the extent your sense of worth is derived from being the kind of person who likes the things you like, encountering people who are happy or successful without conforming to those preferences is invalidating.

Saying you would change something invites questions like"what?" and "how?" If you're an lying ignoramus with credulous followers, you can answer those questions however you like.

But if you want to be honest, you're in a bind.

What would Harris have done differently to get better results? It was a fair, but loaded, question. I think the answer would have been too complicated for the average voter, and being an honest answer from a black woman, would not have persuaded many people of the land who voted for Trump.

It didn't mention the one it's still going to try.

I think I remember an earlier round where he was unable to prove damages: how do you prove lost opportunities if payoffs from Soros and big solar aren't actually happening? (It isn't like Exxon was going to pay him a million dollars to tell them what they already know.) Here's an article from 13 years ago describing the familiar playbook: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2012%2F03%2F28...

I think conspiracy theorists are invested in their own ability to discern "the truth" where normal people only see "the narrative"--so they aren't invested in any particular facts apart from their conclusion (RAND Corporation with flying saucers and reverse vampires FTW). The researchers think that the facts can sell themselves better when you take the emotions of pride and insecurity out of the equation.If your position on any major issue was acquired by a chiropractor's video on youtube, you are terrible at evaluating credibility and using an AI is probably better than getting someone who knows what they're talking about.
