you mean the checks that both parties voted unanimously for, and the act that allowed for PPP and was also voted for unanimously, is only trump's fault? we're pinning that on him when literally every single person in the senate voted for it?

can you see why this rhetoric is tiring?

SJ doesn’t own the rights to the character. She can’t legally go play Black Widow for another studio just because she was the actor

LLMs can describe day to day interactions in a small town just fine. They can deliver accurate text around stuff no one has likely ever bothered to write down. For example, I gave it a list of random objects and asked which ones would need to be treated delicately by a robotic hand. A cotton ball, an apple, a rock, a puddle of water, etc. It responded to each item accurately, though I doubt anyone has ever written that a cotton ball doesn't need a gentle touch from a robotic hand

So basically this Airbus order surge probably has little to do with recent Boeing news and the headline is misleading clickbait

> whose driving purpose is to give the founders a nice exit

this seems to exist everywhere? no matter the stated the mission, no one is owning a business to not make money off it

> the government could never allow it. If a corporation were able to grow to that size, they essentially become the government

the US government is already overwhelmingly something that is structured by and for the benefit of corporations

There are hundreds of millions of dollars of bribes exchanging hands every year: https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs...

PACs are the method of bribery in American politics. Anyone can contribute in unlimited amounts. The other is donations to foundations owned by the politician, and of course speaking fees.
