  • The other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven’t looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I’m assuming that’s to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.

    You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there’s cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can’t even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It’s a mess.

    He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state… The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.









  • Ah. A troll account. Got it.

    Well, I’ll humor you. The world is changing, and as someone working in this field right now where AI is being pushed, it’s fun to watch people get excited for AI and watch the expression on their faces when they go to use it and are left unimpressed. Like a “I spent all this money for THIS ?!” facial expression.

    As to why computer components are so expensive? To put it simply, the memory modules needed for RAM and SSDs are costly to make, and much of these resources are limited in how fast they can reliably be produced. So, many companies are capitalizing on the demand for “AI”, and a lot of that inflated cost is being passed onto consumers. So, thanks, another reason to hate AI I forgot to mention, and yes again, good troll!
