I feel like it’s 2004 again (and yes, that was 21 frickin’ years ago), but newsman Jon Stewart is at it again, spitting actual facts during the opening monologue on last night’s The Daily Show:
Once again, it’s the bullshit gospel of austerity. The gospel they preach any time the country’s finances are in shambles and out of control. “Our problem isn’t excess at the top. It’s the sloth at the bottom.”
And a little later:
Somehow, it is fiscally irresponsible to build a stronger floor for everyone to stand on if it may, in any way, lower the astronomical ceiling height experienced by the rare few.
It’s unbelievable that we are where we are.
And just the icing on top of the rich man’s cake are these gem by OpenAI’s Sam Altman. You know, that beacon for the “the rest of us”.
I bet you would, you dick.
