I mean the obvious conclusion is that the market does not believe that Anthropic will do any of these things.

Has anyone had the take that the No Kings protests clearly worked and got a lot of people across the country to stay politically active instead of sitting on the sidelines yet, or is that still free real estate?

congestion pricing’s environmental review process took over two years and was 4,000 pages
and you know what the craziest part is? that was with an accelerated environmental review process! other transit projects take even longer!

they blocked me just to end the conversation or because they actually understood my point. Moral of the story if you choose to soft block people you’re kinda jeopardizing your peace. The block and mute button is right there.

Asshole local governments are retaliating against the voters for approving Amendment 3 by threatening to cut important projects.
Cut your damn staff and salaries and cut the waste at the sheriff’s offices.

what short dudes (but kinda just anyone below 6’0) don’t realize is that while yeah there are women care about height, the ones that do are vapid losers that you shouldn’t want anything to do with anyways. there’s plenty of women that could care less if your short, go find them

my take is that we could all stand to be a littl bit more direct and just say what we're feeling and sometimes that means gold has to start a conversation and sometimes it's blue's responsibility

You could pay politicians $0/year and it would have literally 0 impact on the federal budget but it would prevent any working class person from taking those jobs.
The US is enormous and cutting spending to reduce the deficit would require deep cuts in wide areas, not slopulism.
