  • Good do it. Let the states that still have a sense of sanity group up and implement a multistate unemployment assistance strategy. Seriously, perhaps its time blue states encourage the disempowerment of the federal government and transfer those programs to mutually aligned state initiatives. Leave out all the welfare red states and redirect that transfer of wealth from blue states to red states, back to their own ppl. Americas system of statehood and states rights is something dems should probably start proposing making more use of. If feds under Trump don’t want social programs then build multistate programs that serve that function, leaving out the Maga central states altogether.


















  • I have serious doubts that returning to a ludite existence is truly feasible anymore. These companies, along with governments, seem intent on making it a necessity to be online and to do so without privacy.

    The CEO of nvidea outright said their plans for the future involve AI agents accessing your financials and PCs being replaced with AI boxes as our interface. If they force AI into enough stuff before the bubble bursts, it won’t be a choice. The way the net works will be built for AI, not for users to manually interface with. If the infrastructure is rebuilt for AI, it won’t be a choice. With governments all pushing for OS level Id, Microsoft trying to record all user action, the push to ban VPNs, it seems like you will be making that choice sooner than you want.

    I hope it works out for you but anyone who remembers a pre-internet life is middle age now and isn’t the target market for emerging tech anymore. If AI proves to be significantly advantageous, not being online to sue it will be like refusing to use computers was to the boomers. You’ll be outcompeted and lose track of how the world is changing.
