Utopia would be one where humans can focus on art and science to advance our race while the mundane work of running a society is all automated. Stuff like this is not enough, but it seems like a step in the right direction where income remains the same to maintain a standard of living while still producing the same output

    I'm no economist, but it's interesting how a free market and more competition doesn't result in a better product for consumers. Just each company going "oh, the other guy raised their prices, let's do the same or we'll fall behind"

    Is this really a win for Netanyahu though? His intelligence branch really fucked up big time. Real winner is probably any far-right groups looking for an opportunity to spout even more nationalistic bullshit, causing even more violence.

    I think Democrats missed a chance by voting along party lines here. Yes the drama from McCarthy losing his seat is delicious but anything that helps make Gaetz look like an idiot is even sweeter. Just the vote itself already diminishes McCarthy's power, but there's incentive now for McCarthy to actually court Democrat votes for future bills and everytime a bill passes with Democrats voting for it you can hear Gaetz slowly losing it.
