I'm down for that. I could be satisfied with only $50 million.

If AI is so productive, we should have Unuversal Basic Income, and free college/vocational education for anyone who wants it.
Take it from them, and distribute it to the workers who earned it, not the guy who cracked the whip.
This probably made him laugh.
I got a high quality product here. Where do I sign up?
They really freak out when their carefully cultivated alternative propaganda reality is contradicted by ACTUAL reality, and they have to face the fact that without the ability to cheat, they can't win.
They love New York/Wall Street, because that's where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.
That is the core characteristic of ALL Conservatives - Fear. They are so afraid of EVERYTHING, that they want to preserve the safe little bubble they are in right now. ANY change is to be feared, and attacked.
I have a bunch in my car. Now I have to remember to take them into the store.
Nah, Spez has had it coming for a long time.
Go back before smoking sections, and it was the Wild West. Smoking was the default environment. Non-smokers were expected to remove themselves if they were bothered by it.
At the grocery store there would be a line of gumball machines for kids, right alongside a cigarette machine.
My high school had a smoking courtyard, right across from the cafeteria. We called it The Pit. Teachers smoked in the Teachers Lounge. It was famous for having a cloud of smoke pour out whenever the door opened.
I remember being in a doctor's office as a kid, and having the doctor light up during the exam!
In many families, both parents would smoke in the car with the windows rolled up, and kids in the backseat, with no car seats or seat belts.
Nobody asked permission to smoke after a meal, they'd just light up, even if others were still eating. I remember my Dad getting offended when I asked him not to light his pipe at the dinner table while I was still eating.
People smoked at every table in any restaurant.
In offices, people smoked at their desks, until offices started having smoking rooms, and eventually chased them outside. Today I see workplaces where smoking isn't allowed anywhere on the premises.
I worked in record stores starting in 1977, and there was always a standup ashtray at the intersections of aisles, filled with sand. At the end of the night, while the manager was counting the till, one of the clean up jobs was taking a sieve to each ashtray, and sifting out the cigarette butts. Every store I worked in had ashtrays, until I became a store manager, and banned smoking in my stores.
Almost EVERYBODY smoked in the 60s and 70s, except me.
