    @LuFins-Dad said in Freedom (of Information) Don’t Come Free: What I’m curious to know is why a school district has nearly 9K emails sent to the SPLC. I'm sure someone would be willing to file a FOIA request.

    The hatred for Gemini is (sit down) a right-wing plot! Before long, public figures and news outlets with large right-wing audiences claimed, using dubious evidence, that their tests of Gemini showed Google had a hidden agenda against White people. https://twitter.com/DKThomp/status/1763569005699195384?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1763569005699195384|twgr^581bb280ce10f6456d550df2221a3d4bbaab5339|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com%2Fdavid-strom%2F2024%2F03%2F01%2Fbloomberg-backlash-against-gemini-a-right-wing-plot-n3783909

    @LuFins-Dad said in AG James, keep yer nose out of Colorado.: Surprised nobody has tried going into a Jewish Bakery and requested an Intifada Cake. IIRC, Crowder went to a Muslim bakery and requested a gay cake. He was refused.

    It's thinking like tribal humans think. Interesting. I guess this would be what you'd expect from a generative AI trained on stuff humans write.

    @Jolly said in Medical Specialty Decision Tree: Nailed surgery. Actually, most of the surgeons I knew were not mean. The number of assholes was pretty proportional to the general population. Of course, I'm not talking about neurosurgeons. Of course.

    I'd also like to see everybody with earned income pay taxes. Everybody. Doesn't matter if you make $10 or $10M. Everybody. I'd also like to see an end to the unearned income tax credit. Period. I think the above suggestions do a couple of things: When you have skin in the game, you're less likely to just want to fling money around. No unearned income tax credit gives lower income workers more impetus to educate and train for better jobs. It also forces employers to quit depending on the government to subsidize their workforce. Workers will flow to where the money is, even in lower-paying jobs.
