    ICE screening at the Bank?Like many people, my aunt usually does her banking online or, if necessary, uses an ATM. The ATM allows withdrawals in increments of $20 — for example, $20, $40, $60, $80, $100, $120, etc. My aunt only wanted to withdraw $10, so she went into the bank in person. She has had this bank account for many years. It is also important to mention that she has a government-issued Real ID, not just a state-issued driver’s license.She presented her Real ID at the counter, and the bank teller proceeded to walk to the far side of the bank near the drive-through window. The bank teller then loudly began questioning my aunt to verify her full name, address, and phone number, but also asked whether she was “still” an American citizen — as if to imply that citizenship could somehow expire. The whole time, the bank teller held onto my aunt’s current government-issued Real ID. The bank teller then followed up by asking whether my aunt had citizenship elsewhere, which is something they do not need to know (and the answer was no).This troubles me because, in Nazi Germany, people also began to experience such issues while banking, conducting business, and performing everyday tasks throughout their day. I fear we’re now seeing this here in the United States.#ICE #Banking #Racism #UsCitizens #Business #Fascism #Justice

    @mf_analysis The interesting, further question, is who managed to maintain their trade (and what advances did they have) vs who lost out and suffered from the political decision?

    Did a guest spot in a business class on Monday and happened to talk gpts with them too.While my programming students may be trying LLM's, they easily see the mistakes and risks to their own understanding.The business students, all 100% on board with the autocomplete, didn't even have thoughts that it wasn't always right or leading them on paths that didn't make sense.I went back to the programming students and reminded them that is how a lot of the users think of tech, the search result is always trustworthy, the feed is safely curated. Now they understand the world better.#programming #college #diploma #business

    Over 40 years, we were collectively told to give tax cuts to rich people.And we were told that if we did that, wealth would trickle down and everyone would be better off.Over 40 years, pretty much everything got cut to fund these tax cuts.Schools. Hospitals. Public housing. Public transport. Universities. Roads projects. Mental health services. Welfare payments.People literally went homeless or starved, so rich people could get tax cuts.Because the wealth would trickle down.Eventually the eroding of public goods caused social dislocation.So governments further cut those public goods to fund more police and prisons. To continue giving tax cuts to rich people.But they said the wealth would trickle down.Eventually the climate started changing because of the amount of toxic fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere.So governments chose to keep the tax cuts rather than fund infrastructure to reduce emissions.(Many of those billionaires getting tax cuts made their money selling toxic fossil fuels.)And as the oceans and atmosphere warmed, the bushfires, droughts, hurricanes, cyclones, floods, and droughts got worse.But they said the wealth would trickle down.Eventually people were getting pissed off at the dire state of the world.The rich misdirected that anger at immigrants!And First Nations!And trans people!And neurodivergent people!Anyone but the billionaires who got the tax cuts.So governments chose to keep the tax cuts. (For the rich. Everyone else got new tariff taxes.)But they said the wealth would trickle down.So did the wealth trickle down?Well...A group of billionaires saw this kinda cool tech demo.It predicted the next pixel of an image, based on the colour patterns of every image on the internet.It also predicted the next word in a sentence, based on an analysis of every piece of writing on the internet.The rich decided that this clearly showed that a sentient computer was just around the corner.The problem was these tech demos needed servers with a lot of GPUs to work.So the rich took all the money they got from those tax cuts.And they bought GPUs.Millions and millions and millions and millions of GPUs.All the tax cuts? All the underfunded schools? All the draconian welfare cuts? All the public housing shortages? The delays in funding clean energy.In the end, it didn't trickle down.And instead of all the public goods it could have bought......We'll be left with millions and millions and millions of GPUs in a landfill.#ChatGPT #Claude #AI #LLM #capitalism #socialism #business #politics #Nvidia
