re: California- proposed wealth tax is already pushing the state toward disaster.

This passes and almost every Silicon Valley entity is going to move.
Unlikely. They’ve had plenty of reasons to move in the past. They’ve either sunk way too much money into huge/lavish campuses, or for some reason don’t think they can hire software engineers in any other state. You may get fewer startups and some outward migration of small tech companies but the big boys won’t go anywhere. The wealthiest execs/owners/founders move and the tax burden just shifts to their high income W2 wage earners.
They may eventually tax people/businesses so much that they move, but this isn’t gonna do it. Just like all of the insane taxes in WA that have been foisted upon Boeing and Microsoft and Amazon and T mobile hasn’t put a dent in their workforce, even if they move some corporate positions to another state.

Yeah those people are not very smart. If you are deliberate with your finances, these cards should pay for themselves.
It’s a huge majority of people who use credit cards and pay them off every month. But I’m sure you are the exception…
We almost exclusively use credit cards and pay them off monthly. But I’m not stupid enough to think my wife and I aren’t probably spending 3%+ more than if we had to physically hand over cash. Luckily we are well-off enough that it doesn’t matter at all.

I got downvoted by a bunch of Ag losers when I suggested that Cargill and other huge Ag corps (ADM, Tyson, Lamb Weston, CHS, etc.) were the ones ruining that sector in our economy in a thread about tariffs.

If you pay interest on credit cards, you’re losing the financial game.
Even a large majority of people who don’t pay interest on credit cards are technically losing the financial game. There’s plenty of data to suggest that individuals spend more than whatever they are earning in rewards when using a credit card compared to cash.
To be ignorant of that fact means you are not as financially literate as you think.
re: Sheriff weighs in on ICE shooting
Posted by YipSkiddlyDooo on 1/11/26 at 3:17 pm to Darnell5445
What I would like this sheriff to answer is: “how did unmarked cars or the use of facemasks by federal agents have any effect SPECIFICALLY on the event he is referring to?”
He is implying that had the federal agents all shown their face, or been in vehicles with law enforcement markings that the militant lesbian would not have agitated, obstructed, and then threatened the law enforcement officers with her vehicle. That’s absolute nonsense.

re: Elon Musk says don't go to medical school as surgeons will be obsolete in 48 months.

Bookmark this thread then.
1) Elon has never accurately predicted a launch/production timeline for any product he’s involved with.
2) I work with current surgical robots. I operate on people. We are so far away from complete surgical robot autonomy, this will be like every other prediction he’s made.
3) even if there was a robot that could autonomously perform surgery without any human input or intervention, it still wont be used in the western world due to regulations within the next “48 months.”
Still not sure why you’re white knighting for Elon so hard in a field/use case you clearly know nothing about.

My wife had her hip replaced via Mako robotic assisted surgery in Biloxi 2 years ago.
The Mako is nice. It is so far away from what Elon is saying we’ll see in 3 years that it isn’t even worth bringing up in a discussion of autonomous robotic surgery. It requires user input throughout the entirety of the portions of the case in which it is utilized.

I’d rate surgery as one of the most AI proof fields.
As someone who uses robot assistance in the OR, I would welcome sitting back and being an observer or human backup to an autonomous surgical robot. But I use them now, I use various AI programs now, this is way more than 3 years away. I would be surprised if I see it in my career. And that’s without taking regulatory concerns from government agencies, insurers, healthcare systems into account. All of which will delay their implementation even further.

We will not have fully autonomous, AI driven robotic surgery in 3 years. Not even close.
The people above discussing da Vinci systems (and they left out Mako) have no idea what those devices do. They aren’t even remotely close to performing even a portion of the case without input from the surgeon.
You dumbarses can downvote my post all you want. Bookmark it. I will be right.

They can’t even refine their own oil. And they are going to have a hard time shipping it elsewhere. Options are limited with the heavy crude they produce in Alberta. It will continue to get sold to US refineries, whether Canada likes it or not.
