Nah, it's a motor vehicle and should be treated as such.

So they want to put all of our SSA money into the stock market and hope that it generates enough profit to cover the declining workforce... I'm sure that 401Ks, social security, and banking IRAs all being dependent on the same stock market not failing isn't a terrible idea.

I think this is the real answer. Individuals largely hate AI but corporations love it. It's just a matter of time before some executive crashes a multi-billion dollar company into the ground because they trusted AI and then the rest of the chips will fall. 

Also, the OP makes what I consider a bad assumption—that the US-centric economy will continue being the primary driving force in the world. Literally anyone can develop their own AI for virtually nothing these days. If China wanted they could create their own ASML and Nvidia and drive western markets to the ground in months.

I learned in chapters.

  1. Teen/young adult years I just got the basics down, how to cut meat and veggies depending on their application and making meals I grew up with and knew well. 
  2. Twenties, mostly cooking in restaurants learning new recipes and commiting the "correct way" to memory while learning foods from other cultures 
  3. Thirties, breaking out of my comfort zone and just making food that sounds like it'd work together instead of making what middle-of-the-road restaurants taught me. Lots of YouTube videos absorbing general concepts.

The biggest things I've learned is that food needs twice as much fat/oil as I think it does and three times as much salt. When I have bits of veggies I'm not gonna cook, I freeze them in a bag until I have enough to make a stock—it's free flavor. Also, spice and season everything; I used to season my main ingredients and then just plop unseasoned ingredients on top thinking it's fine (for example, an egg scramble needs salt and pepper added to both the eggs and the sautéed veggies)

That and the US being such a large market while having some of the worst internet in the developed world. Last I read only ¼ of the network is fiber

Tldr: if you ever had to write an essay in middle school it's basically that—a long string of grammatically acceptable sentences that don't really tell you anything

Maybe it's me who just doesn't understand the law, but it's exhausting constantly seeing judges determine ICE is flagrently violating the law and all they do is say "oh now you'd better stop breaking the law".. Is it beyond the purview of the judiciary to impose actual penalties for wrongdoing?

El Paso + parts of New Mexico means Ft Bliss. That's where the US Army/Air Force does nearly all of their munitions training. I wonder if ICE is getting a special training course bc that's also about how long one lasts.

Eta: this is also the last stop soldiers make before forward deploying. They could have a large quantity of people they intend to deploy in the very near future. Good reason to keep eyes off the area with all the tensions in the middle east and wherever else Trump decides to go to war with this week.

Paycheck to paycheck can be a pretty broad term. I worked at the bottom rung in healthcare scraping by and had to endure listening to people making 3x what I made talking about when their check was gonna hit the bank. It's easy to be broke when you have a spending problem

Why not just have everyone refuse to work on election day, every election day. It's insane that it's not a national holiday

Obama would have been impeached for flipping the bird.
