Saw here on Rachel Maddow last night.
excellent in her explanation.

Ken Kukovich

      =====

The banks get bailed out despite their lobbying and despicable actions
and their depositors with accounts over $250,000 are bailed out. Since
all those people managed to repay their $50,000 student loans, or
never even needed one, it wouldn't be fair to bail out someone who
owes $10,000.

America is definitely the land of opportunity--to accumulate more
money the more you start with.

It is like space, a perfect place for us to show that humans are a

BAN GUNS, NOT BOOKS  (DIANE RAVITCH)

 

After the massacre of children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Connecticut in December 2014, there seemed to be an
unstoppable public demand for federal gun control legislation. After
the massacre of high school students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman
Davis High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, the demand for gun
control seemed unstoppable, led by students from the school.

Nothing happened. Now American students and teachers learn to protect
themselves in “active shooter” drills. The opponents of gun
control count on potential victims to protect themselves, instead of
enacting restrictions on gun owners to protect children.

The same politicians who fight for the rights of gun owners are busily
banning books, which they consider dangerous. Book banning is cancel
culture at its worst.

RE: THE “PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL” CONSERVATIVE GROUP TENEO
 

The records show Teneo’s members have included a host of prominent
names from the conservative vanguard, including such elected officials
as U.S. Sens. J.D. Vance of Ohio and Missouri’s Josh Hawley, a
co-founder of the group. Other members have included Rep. Elise
Stefanik of New York, now the fourth-ranking House Republican, as well
as Nebraska’s attorney general and Virginia’s solicitor general.
Three senior aides to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential 2024
presidential candidate, are members. Another is the federal judge who
struck down a Biden administration mask mandate. The heads of the
Republican Attorneys General Association, Republican State Leadership
Committee and Turning Point USA — all key cogs in the world of
national conservative politics — have been listed as Teneo members.

Conservative media figures like Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire, several
pro athletes and dozens of executives and senior figures in the worlds
of finance, energy and beyond have also been members.

RE: HOW POLICE CULTURE HAS RESHAPED AMERICA
 

Republican chickens home to roost. When you transfer 90% of the
national wealth to 10% of the people, use racial prejudice to win
votes, fight any program that will improve ordinary people’s lives,
court religious fanatics and conspiracy nuts, and inject millions of
firearms into society— I guess you need militarized police.

RE: HOPE AMID CLIMATE CHAOS: A CONVERSATION WITH REBECCA SOLNIT
 

Thanks, Rebecca Solnit.  Hope comes from the ability to imagine a
different and better world.  But optimism, like pessimism, is a form
of certainty -- we don't have to do anything, everything is already
decided.  That's not true; the future is not already determined.
 What we do in the present matters.

RE: THE LEFT SHOULD DEFEND CLASSICAL EDUCATION

(posted on xxxxxx Culture
[[link removed]])
 

The problem with this argument is that it separates Classical
Education from modern literature. This oftentimes means excluding non
white, non male writers from the list. What those who defend Classical
Education should do (IMHO) is fight for a longer more inclusive list.

RE: WHY UNIONS MATTER SO MUCH

(posting on xxxxxx Labor

"The shrinking of unions effectively redistributes income from low-
and middle-income workers to affluent investors."

The Durango Worker [[link removed]]
Posted on xxxxxx's Facebook page
[[link removed]]

      =====

"HAPPY DAYS" — that's what the latter half of the 1950's in America
are called in the history books because when union membership grew to
25% of the workforce back then, not only did employees in unionized
businesses enjoy good pay, plus good inexpensive high-quality health
plans and secure fixed-benefit retirement plans, but even employees in
non-union businesses enjoyed the same because those businesses had to
provide all that in order to attract and retain good employees and in
order to try to avoid becoming unionized. Unions won for American
workers the 5-day workweek, weekends free, and created the Middle
Class that made America’s economy boom because workers had the money
to buy homes, cars, TV’s, and all the other products of American
industry.

Unions raised the tide of income equality for everyone. I was able to
work my way through college more than 60 years ago with an unskilled
union job that paid back then almost as much as today’s workers get
in non-union minimum-wage jobs today. So sad for them.

But then came the decades-long onslaught of corporate-owned media
propaganda to spread the fiction that union wages and benefits were
driving jobs to foreign nations — when the actual truth was that
corporations were shifting jobs to foreign nations in order to
maximize their own profits…and American workers have never had a
fair chance since then, suffering with stagnant wages. lousy
“benefits”, and either no retirement plan or a 401(k) plan that
benefits Wall Street and banks more than workers.

RE: NOAM CHOMSKY: THE FALSE PROMISE OF CHATGPT
 

Great article. But I’m not sure these are, in the - long run,
ineradicable defects. In another 20-30 years, if the exponential
progress in the creation of AI continues, we may very well develop a
way for it to have moral reasoning, or creative decisions based on the
random synthesis of bits of information, which it then analyzes for
fidelity to principles of meaning, correlations, and reason, narrowing
it down to the best (or one of the best) solutions. But I mean, it’s
important to understand that there are many scenarios in which moral
ambiguity will remain, because there’s essentially no right choice,
or both are ‘wrong choices’ in various ways. 

Anyway, I only began to have a conversation recently with a brilliant
programmer who’s steeped in this stuff. But he made an interesting
point: perhaps the human endeavor to create a universal moral code for
programming AI might itself help humans fully embody their own moral
code(s). Of course, that goes deep down the rabbit hole of moral
theory as well as theory of mind, but it’s a very intriguing idea
that has a lot of merit. It may be that in trying to create a morally
restrained AI—something that at least has the capacity to ‘act
like a human,’ that humans themselves will come closer to
comprehending what makes us human in the first place. Because, let’s
be honest, with all the faulty natural wiring in many of the heads of
maladjusted individuals, some of us are already faking it.

Those are just temporary limitations and will be solved probably
quicker than most people expect. The same thing was said about
multiple problems in the past just to be proven wrong. I think AGI is

It's an imitation of thinking at this point and the article contains
some valid ideas... But, also, have you spoken with average people? It
doesn't take as much insight as we might think to operate on a human
level of intelligence. People who believe the Earth is flat still
qualify as humans.

Kory Schaubhut:  “There is a cult of ignorance in the United
States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism
has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and
cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that
'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov.

Of course AI will be flawed and different from human intelligence. The

TRIANGLE SHIRTWAIST FACTORY - 2023 COMMEMORATION  --  FRIDAY, MARCH
24 (2023 REMEMBER THE TRIANGLE FIRE COALITION)

 

JOIN US MARCH 24TH FROM 11:30AM TO 1:00PM FOR THE 2023 COMMEMORATION

The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition educates the public about the
1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire through its on-going arts
projects, educational outreach, and social media sites. The Coalition
works with Workers United, the New York City Central Labor Council,
the FDNY, New York University, and various community groups to plan
and implement the annual remembrance activities on the anniversary of
the fire each March 25. Throughout the year, the Coalition offers
programming to raise public awareness about the fire and explore its
continuing relevance for worker rights and workplace safety. On our
website and via social media we provide resources about the Triangle
fire for educators and promote the work of organizations that advocate
for worker rights and safety in the US and around the globe. We aim to
be as inclusive as possible with our programming to make this history
relevant and accessible to people of color, people with disabilities
or communities whose primary language is not English. The Coalition is
currently working to establish a permanent public art memorial on the
Brown (formerly Asch) Building where the fire happened to honor those
who died in the fire, so that their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

THE ROSENBERG CASE 70 YEARS LATER: FIGHTING FASCISM THEN AND NOW  -
JUNE 14 AND/OR JUNE 25 (ROSENBERG FUND FOR CHILDREN)

 

_JOIN US ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14TH AT 7 PM EDT OR SUNDAY, JUNE 25TH AT 4
PM EDT
[[link removed]] FOR
A FILM SCREENING HONORING THE ROSENBERGS' RESISTANCE AND HIGHLIGHTING
ANTI-FASCISM ORGANIZING WITHIN THE RFC BENEFICIARY COMMUNITY._

Seventy years ago on June 19th, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were denied
clemency for the last time, and their executions were allowed to go
forward. They lost their lives to the anti-communist hysteria of the
McCarthy era.

The day before their deaths, they wrote one final letter to their
young sons, Robert and Michael, sharing that they were comforted in
the sure knowledge that others would carry on after them. The
Rosenberg Fund for Children (RFC), founded as Robert’s
“constructive revenge,” justifies their faith and provides support
to the multitudes of people across generations who have continued the
fight against fascism and injustice.

JOIN US VIRTUALLY FOR THE PREMIERE OF A SHORT FILM PRODUCED BY THE RFC
ON EITHER OF TWO SCREENING DATES – JUNE 14TH OR JUNE 25TH. The
event will feature long-time activist and RFC Advisory Board member
Angela Davis, National Book award-winning poet and RFC Advisory Board
member Martín Espada, Highlander Center Co-Executive Director Ash-Lee
Woodard Henderson, Rosenberg sons Robert and Michael Meeropol and
other artists and activists. This 70th anniversary commemoration will
honor Ethel and Julius’ resistance and legacy and share 30+ years of
RFC beneficiary stories that illuminate the ongoing battle against
fascism.

The film will include readings and dramatized vignettes, interspersed
with art and music, which will draw from letters written by Ethel and
Julius Rosenberg and other activists’ stories from within the RFC
community. We’ll conclude the event with a live conversation between
Robert, RFC Executive Director Jennifer Meeropol and audience members.
Amidst the rise of racist, xenophobic and nationalistic oppression in
the U.S. across the generations, this event will highlight the
powerful current of anti-fascist activism that continues to this day.
