  • is there some secret contingent who (...) love complicated tax breaks

    Democrats. You are describing Democrats. Not necessarily voters, but like, the actual party. And they actually think means testing is like, some super secret thing that actually improves things.

  • No. Do cash payments. Stop doing wonkish shit like this where oridinary people people can't notice it in their lives because its obscured through taxation where too many people wont' even understand its just a payment.

    Other than him having basically no shot at getting elected as an R. Dudes dead man walking. It doesn't matter which parties flag he flies.

    ‘Grassroots will beat big money every day’: can a DSA member flip a Republican Senate seat?

    Jump

  • I just can not, in the name of the great spaghetti monster, noodle be thy name, figure out why the fuck @givesomefucks@lemmy.world insists on being the water carrier for Democrats. As in, in the traditional sense, being the apologist.

    They'll acknowledge the issues. They'll be open and understanding the critiques. But they'll die on the hill of protecting Ken Martin, whom, I think everyone on the left had some hope for, but who has been about as disapointing as cat shit. Just like we would have expected any corporate Dem to be. Its like they don't want to acknowledge that actually, a party of feckless electors happy to rig primaries, lick any corporate boot, and only willing to pivot to the right, thats pretty much who makes up the Democratic party as far as leadership. They' arent' redeemable.

    But they just won't fucking hear it. They're like, on a personal mission to save the sole of the DNC as it currently exists. Its like Ken Martin has his own personal Apostle Paul.

  • :100:

    I just see no way in which the injection of AI into an already crumbling education results in anything resembling "good outcomes".

    You gotta learn to think. It takes time and effort and dedicated practice. And you need space, time and an environment for that.

    As bad as this is for grown adults, it seems orders of magnitude worse for kids/ young adults.

  • I mean you can do something's like not allowing it's use on campus.

    I guess I'm seeing it as just a critical period of mental development as the years before. Its probably the thing that has me the most worried about the whole thing is the drop in any kind of thinking skills among the general population.
