I think your information is simply outdated and is just reflect common assumptions.
    You are correct. The issue isnt the technology. Its the government.

    Okay a ton of more false assumptions here firstly the cost of regulation will be paid by future generations because of the climate cost of AI to name just one which you are entirely dismissing. You are entirely dismissing the point of the technology which is to replace humans, Do you think that should be done lightly? have you missed the complete and utter disaster that is happening because of AI therapists? how about AI chat bots which are worsening the loneliness crisis?
    I think it should be done. Adding more burdens will make sure that it doesnt happen at all. I am aware of the power consumption issues of AI, but that has to be sorted out too. Electrification also added a bunch of power consumption issues but we cant say it wasnt worth it!!!!

    I am going to stop you right there because you are making my point for you GDP per capita. What has been the price of America's top GDP? we are at the bottom when it comes to education. lowest life expectancy, huge income inequality. We have more people in prison than anyone else in the world including China, we invented the term medical bankruptcy. None of the fundamental problems the US has that has resulted in 2 terms for Donald Trump shows up in GDP figures. The average American is obese on pain killers overworked and extremely unhappy but hey people like Elon Musk means that graph keeps going up.
    This is a more philosophical question on what should we do in general.But the reality is the American economy has left its contemporaries at the exception of maybe China behind. We can see how laggard and defeated Europe is. The US is also diverging from Canada too!! The american economy is leaving everyone behind *except china Thats a good thing right?

    The question on what the wealth should be used for is another thing

    So, you're saying your love for rapists also extends to lying traitors and frauds.

    Does that cover it?

    You're bragging about having no common sense, or principles.

    Trump was the one who tried to overthrow the government, because he lost.

    You are lying.

    It's not a philosophical question it's reality, the average American gives zero flying fucks about GDP or the stock market because it has nothing to do with their quality of life. When those things go to shit is the only time it affects them as the government rushes to rob them to stuff the pockets of the rich oligarchs. AI's power and environmental problems aren't going to be solved out of the goodness of their hearts those things cost money, what they have been doing is moving to red states with less restrictions.

    Are you one of those people who believe the magic of the free market is going to convince greedy corporations to do what is right for the general population?

    Objectively and demonstrably wrong.

    According to 538, Biden's lowest approval is right now, at 36.1%. Here's a list of Presidents in the last 75 years with lower lows than Biden according to the same source:

    President Rating Day
    ---------------------- ----------- -----------
    Donald Trump 35.1% 323
    George W. Bush 23.3% 2821
    George H.W. Bush 30.1% 1307
    Ronald Reagan 35.9% 743
    Jimmy Carter 29.0% 895
    Richard Nixon 25.6% 2008
    Harry S. Truman 22.8% 2517


    Yes. Every single Republican president since the Southern Strategy has had a lower low approval record than Biden, with the exception of Gerald Ford who got a pass because, well, he wasn't Nixon.

    The only reason Trump isn't even lower is because there are quite obviously a whole lot of MAGA cultists who will blindly approve of even a rapist felon who fomented an insurrection, whereas Democrat voters are apparently more willing to be critical of their own candidates.

    Well, now. Let's use Gallup, then.

    According to them, just like 538, Biden's lowest approval is still higher than the same list of GoP presidents I listed before:



    And guess what? Donald Trump had a lower high and a lower low.

    So...

    The electorate just voted to make clear that the plurality doesn't understand how inflation or tariffs work, so this absolutely checks out.
