Biden had a bad debate night. But putting it in context, he's had plenty of good or excellent speeches, its just that no one notices and media doesn't care when things go well. Got to get those clicks.
This wasn't a debate in this format. You should put these two individuals' suitability for being president in the context of their speeches and acts collectively and not this single event. And by speech, not TV pre-digested and edited clips. Go watch Biden's full SOTU and then give it a thought. Go watch one of the felon's rallies and give that some thought.
It wasn't a debate in that format, it was a performance and both did poorly. Media will "rate" it like a reality TV show and reasonable people should just pass on that.
You are right no one would invest in that. To be a real start-up plan, you need future projections built in. No one is going to invest in a static gold-pooping rate. If you can scale that production year over year, now you have an investable project.
I don't know the source, so it's hard for me to comment but logically the problem as stated is plausible. i.e. legacy debt preventing the move to more efficient methods.
However, the conclusion i.e. therefore replace humans with humanoid robots does not. And then tacking on unionization is just a different subject altogether. You can staff some aspects of a factory with robots and the human's work shifts from production to maintenance. I've talked to automation people and robots can be very problematic and something "advanced" I would imagine much more so.
Although not recent, some referred to the robots as "Bob" blind one-arm builders. If very well calibrated and designed for a specific task, they can be ok, except when they go wrong. To think some "AI" driven general purpose robot is going to substantially replace human labor any time soon... I very seriously doubt that. Especially with that kook as leadership.
I don't know if China can afford to cut off Russia but it looks like they control enough of that income pie that it's a very effective threat. Maybe not full control “vassal state” but it's a pretty strong position for negotiations and how's that going to get weaker over time? Then again I've heard China's economy isn't that great right now.
I assume the bigger problem is the switch to a wartime economy that has no good outcome. All that production is not going toward future productivity, in fact, quite the opposite. I am no expert in this but that's my view.
What's the media going to report on? Outrage click bait or someone average saying average things? Not to say extremist are not real but extremists are disproportionately reported compared to majority views which skews our perceptions. How much is done on purpose or as a result of the news business, I can't judge but biased sources pick up on the parts they like and amplify them or even manipulate them to tell the story that want to tell.
I do truly believe that for the vast majority of people, we are closer in that the things we collectively believe than we do not. But it doesn't take many devoted people to whip up a mindless mob.
