"This legislation would guarantee that the trillions of dollars potentially generated by A.I. are used to improve the lives of all of us — not simply to make the richest people in the world even richer."

If the rule of law applies to ordinary citizens it applies to everyone.

Or it applies to no one.

The collar changes the problem.

A dog that spent its life running wherever it wanted is not suddenly going to become obedient because it found itself at the end of a rope. It's going to pull. Snarl. Snap. Tear up everything within reach. Not because it has changed, but because it hasn't.

When all is said and done the only person who will actually believe his version of history is Trump himself.

That's part of the illness.

This is about today. Right now. With a sick old man spending his remaining energy screaming at everything he doesn't like on his own little social media platform — there is not a chance in hell he is simultaneously running the most powerful government on earth.

Let that be how we actually honor the ones who earned our respect.

That is not a rhetorical question. It is the most practical question anyone can ask right now.

Seeds need ground. Ground needs memory. Memory needs honesty.

We are running out of all three.

Same work scenario, same house, same need for caffeine, same TV and why is that big plane flying to those buildings.
