Ford v Ferrari is a damn fine film. Boy Christian Bale really hits the right notes most of the time.

Well the email it’s secure! But their payment provider? Decidedly not E2E encrypted. So the FBI compelled the Swiss to compel Proton to release the data they had on the account, which included payment data and thus identity.

So, no content was available (proton can’t access it), but identity - yes.

I don’t mean to be mansplainy but you can turn off quote posts. But maybe you want your friends to do that! Which I get.

Actually I was kind of hoping each session would devolve into putting George on trial for slave ownership!

Yeah I hear you.

I gotta say. At some point these folks need to let go of balancing checkbooks.

Since everyone is talking about new voters, I pulled up the Virginia voter file to check how many 2025 general election voters were non-2024 voters. Per L2, that number is 200k, or about 6% of all ballots cast in the race. These 200k were modeled at 60% Dem and 20% Rep

This popped off the screen.

Employers pay payroll taxes on humans.

AI Agent expenditure however is a capital investment. Often times entirely deductible.

Plus the R&D tax credit, now featuring less humans!

So, spitballing, create taxes on AI expenditure that pay into social security. Boom UBI.
