    They’re proposing that the Fed prioritize the needs of citizens over corporations? Good luck with that, America. Seriously. Good thing there’s so much precedent for that argument working. At all.

    Pardon my cynicism, but like… Gestures to everything in the last 50 years

      Are there enough US lawmakers who don’t own stock in the companies that would receive these bailouts?

      Do enough of them understand that the rest of the economy would be in better shape if the biggest AI companies would face a strong setback in the next 2 years? Jesus, are they even aware that more American-made AI tools exist beyond Claude and ChatGPT?

      Remember, even the biggest Obama supporters looked at the Wall Street bailouts like wtf dude… If people see that folly again, we’re gonna see some crowdfunded drone strikes on data centers 🍿
