Ah.. But something I've run into continuously with my own parents' aspirational politics: if they constrain "class" to not really exist, then it doesn't and they can conveniently ignore any discussion using that language.Any discussion of socialism immediately stops when you mention classes. They insist classes don't exist in the US, therefore this entire discussion is factually incorrect, and a waste of time.
It won't matter if you point out their embrace of the Epstein class as "peers" politically. (Aspirational politics) They just won't see it.
It won't matter if you point out our family interactions with the American justice system as white privilege; that we had to interact at all proves to them that there's no privilege.
#Blinders or #LeadPoisoning ? IDK.

Satya says "Wait -- put on the handcuffs and blinders!"
" We put a trillion dollars into #AI to control you and fire you! "
"But _I_ will be hurt in the economic collapse the AI bubble bursting causes! ME! "

She has #blinders on:
she can't speak without lying
but we all notice. -
More horseshit pumped out to blunt the demand for transition off carbon fuel. This is a dishonest distraction.
They might get the price down to impossibly low, if you dont count all the other costs of using the system, plus ignored costs.
Costs like what do you do a trillion tons of CO2? Or a hundred trillion tons?
Removing just Canadas planned releases would cost several hundred $trillion under even this distraction.
