I took an ambulance with my mother to an inpatient facility where she will stay for now. She is fine.
When we arrived to her room. The roomate had visitors. A younger woman. And an old man. The man was complaining loudly about how cold it was.
We were getting settled, but the nurses had to physically ascertain my mother's condition, so I had to step out of the room.
The old man had also stepped outside and when I saw him I told him...

The old man had also stepped outside and when I saw him I told him...
The old man, I thought, must have been 10 years my senior. I told him,
"Sir, I have a long way to go, so I will leave as soon as the nurse allows me to... However... If you will have it, I will give you my sweater. Because the cold here is indeed too extreme to bear all night."
The old man's face turned. From stern. To afable. And he said,
"Thank you thank you but no, no. This cold is nothing. I work in the Sun all day. This cold is good"
I insisted...

"I really mean it, if you need my jacket, you can have it."
And the old man said, "oh I believed you the first time, your face says the truth."
I told him, "I try to help whenever I can. My mother made me like that."
The old man told me he was visiting his ex-wife whom he still helps even though they havent been together for 20 years. "I do it for our children, even though they are adults now."
I said, "I respect that. A real man supports his people. We all should."

It's wild because the news is full of deplorable men. Men which shouldn't even be called men. Men who abuse. Men who corrupt. Men who shouldn't be called men but bullies and criminals.
And yet, on a random trip, almost unplanned (it was supposed to be tomorrow and not me on the ambulance) I found a man I could respect.
A old man who will never be famous but will have the love of his children.
bad men get more attention but good men are what keeps the world together.

> we need to ramp up the pressure to tax these companies and fund a UBI *now*. if we don't, by the time they've already eliminated these jobs it will be too late, and they'll hold all the cards.

I agree.
I wrote a piece recently called "A letter from 2016 to 2026" about a fictional person (not me, but based on conversations I was having) writing a letter to open 10y later https://dustycloud.org/blog/a-letter-from-2016-to-2026/
Part of it is the *promises* we were made of what life with AI was going to be like.
Liz highlights UBI as necessary here, and it's actually correct FROM THEIR ARGUMENTS. All the big CEOs of tech were talking up UBI as the answer to what would happen when AI automated everything. So we should hold them to account.
(They also said we'd be automating away the tedious stuff so we can focus on creative things like writing, code, artwork, and music. Oops! Funny how that worked out, huh?)

pronunciarsi sulla richiesta turca, con il rischio di subire in patria una persecuzione politica. Il ministero della Giustizia avrebbe il potere di decidere, come ha fatto con Abedini o Almasri
