Are you playing dumb? Using power tools to build furniture is very different than using an ai robot to carve a statue or whatever.

Amazon has generated hundreds of billions in value. She has no interest in generating anything useful. Her charity is lazy unoriginal and self aggrandizing

the worlds GDP is like $120,000,000,000,000. Her work is worthless in comparison. the only possible benefit of concentrated wealth is taking concentrated bets on a new research or technology or social organization. But to give to generic charities is a waste of time and reveals a profound lack of creativity on her part.

The arguments im seeing in here are that census data will lead to a literal holocaust. Histrionic. Makes it seem like this policy was a no brainer

You also then have to include the subsidies renewables have gotten. They of course also use distribution infrastructure

Weird way to frame it. The computer does it automatically. They would do it whether they were well staffed or not.

They are not audits. They are automated notices to idiots trying to claim the same child tax credit in multiple returns or hiding income(not reporting their w2 lol) to claim the EITC

Predicting population decline is safer than overgrowth. Since with low birth rates we know we need substantially higher than replacement rates to make up for the deficit. Which seems unlikely

Not a legitimate goal. But yeah if the government needs revenue they should raise it.

They are deporting people after release from prison who weren’t deported like they were supposed to be. How do you not know this?

Trump is morally obligated to deport felon illegals to protect americans. 70 million plus americans voted for it. Trump can't give up because a few thousand people are playing "im not touching you" with ICE.
