Someones taking money for this.
We didn't just not do what all those movies/books warned us to, we made it illegal to take any precautions whatsoever.
Such a stupid fucking timeline.
The bill that makes it illegal for precautions is snuck inside megabill with 100 other bad provisions so no debate occurs on it.
FYI, the US empire is evil. Like media, AI must be used to protect the Empire's evil.
I simply don't understand how "vote to fund thing A" gets conflated with "also pass ultra-evil rule B". How hard is it to vote on each issue separately and keep shit like this isolated from unrelated legislation?
Congress is hopelessly broken, gridlocked and unable to pass policy on its own merit. That's how we end up with quadrillion page omnibus bills every year. It's a failed institution, and it's been this way since at least Reagan.
The process itself must serve evil. As a process, single issue bills permit a clear stand on good/evil with debate on the issue to convince/justify vote. Multi issue bills permit a horse trade of my evil interests to be included for your evil interest to also be included.
It can backfire though. Too big a deal can get some to leave the corruption consensus over 1 provision included. Everyone is given more power to grandstand against evil.
If only they protected my rights like they protect the rights of corporations.

Won't any think of the shareholders? They suffer too. -s
That would be extremely out of character for the GOP, why would you even expect that from them?
Whatever happened to states rights?
They ditched that as soon as they won the election
They decided Colorado couldn't decide their own ballot eligibility before the last general election, tba. Our supreme court made that call for the orange garbage muncher.
Fascists only use "rights" for themselves, and then they will rub it into your face that they can do something you can't...

Does this not directly, nakedly violate the sovereignty clause?
Welp, pack it up kids, this one’s cooked
Why would they need money? Automating systems removes interpersonal trust and facilitates 1984-esque media and data control. Deregulation means they can use it as a handwavy excuse for a lot of major things, and also impact the information those systems give you.
I believe at this level it's called favors.
