Japanese manga artist Masahiro Itosugi, creator of the adult series Aki Sora, had his Google account suspended after uploading old manga manuscripts to Google Drive. His appeal was reviewed and rejected, and the artist suspects that at every stage he was dealing with an AI moderator, not real employees.

"By removing so much capital from markets and reallocating it to the government, a wealth tax could lower growth and distort incentives."

BUT WHAT IF GROWTH IS NOT THE POINT, YOU "BLOOMBERG OPINION COLUMNIST" IDIOT!?

"Ultimately, some brands may be forced to "redefine value beyond just ultra-low prices," the WSJ suggested."

When I see the absolute crap and mostly useless products Americans buy, especially with fast fashion, I tend to hope this move will put a dent in America hyper-consumerism culture.

But I also see how it will put some small business in deep trouble.

For Trumpsters who think only fraudsters will loose healthcare.

"Because of a statutory requirement to automatically impose budget cuts when legislation increases the deficit, the Big Beautiful Bill would require automatic cuts across the board."

"Medicare is one of the programs that will face the axe, starting in the next fiscal year that begins in October."

Republicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare.

Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.

#ElonMusk says he's taking a step back from #DOGE after #Tesla "blowback" Stock value dropped 71%.

Crypto is in crisis, Meta is crashing, Elizabeth Holmes is going to prison, and Elon Musk is doing all he can to destroy the reputation he spent decades building.

The higher order system here isn't technology; it's capitalism. That's what will shape what comes next, unless we overturn it — a prospect I sadly don't see on the horizon anytime soon. That means we need to reject a desire to give into fantasy, and pay close attention to where venture capitalists and major tech firms allocate capital in the months to come: What are they betting the future will be, and how are their PR people going to try to sell it to us?

A turning point for the tech industry?

Less than a week since my last update, and I’m already in your inbox again! I couldn’t help myself from commenting on the downward slide the tech industry is...
