Wow AI! Such transformation! Such innovation!

Fucking idiots, the entire management of Google is far worse than useless, more like economically suicidal.

It will not, not permanently.

The heavy users of AI are even dumber than the CEOs, at least the CEOs are getting rich.

To rip people off, apply surveillance capitalism to kids and strangle associated competition from gaining a foothold?

Honestly it seems like Microsoft is making enough profits from aiding Israel in its Genocide of Palestinians with Microsoft Azure I am actually not sure why they bother with the comparatively less lucrative video game industry.

I also don’t know why Asus would want to brand their gaming devices with a label deeply associated with genocide.

The problem here is whatever value the US dollar has, it is decreased by the participation of Wyoming, so why would I want to trade US dollars for a currency hinged only on the negative liabilities the US dollar has?

I guess this coin is for those committed to the blooming collapse of the rural US, who cares if it goes belly up if the landscape you live in is so existentially screwed for water, healthcare and livable housing that money won’t be of any use when shit hits the fan anyways.

How The Mooching Works

In that vein, understanding Wyoming’s finances is important for us to become educated voters.

Wyoming is a very unique state because it figured out a long time ago how to make people from out of state pay our essential taxes. In other words, we mooch off of other taxpayers to pay our bills.

Here’s how the mooching works. According to a 2022 analyis by the Wyoming Economic Analysis Division, a three-person family with an income of $68,000 and owning a home with a value of $320,000 pays about $4,340 in taxes, including sales tax, fuel tax, tobacco tax, alcohol taxes, vehicle registration and property taxes.

That same family recieves about $23,900 in local and state government services.

…

Some politicians are running around and saying Wyoming should just stop taking federal funds. The obvious question, when faced with the above numbers, is how are you going to replace $3 billion per year when the state stops taking that money?

Before one answers that we don’t need those funds, it might be prudent to see where the state of Wyoming spends those federal dollars.

Remember, some of the funds are direct federal payments that are labeled “federal funds” in the graph above. The federal mineral royalties are included in the “general fund” as well as “other funds,” which are appropriated differently.

Combined, the “federal funds” and “other funds” contributions equal 31% of the state’s budget.

Does this sound like a better holder of value than the US dollar?

Well I hope Microsoft has next to no input on it then, for all our sakes not just the people at Asus.

I think the idea is hilarious that in 2025 people would still trust Microsoft to competently launch a product and then not enshittify it until it is nearly unrecognizable.

Microsoft has zero capacity, competency or even desire to stand behind this over things like game streaming.

Further, fear mongering about China’s data center/powergrid infrastructure superiority is also the PERFECT excuse techbros need to rationalize building data centers in parts of the US that are in desperate shortage of water for human beings and with precarious electrical grids that are ready to fail in the middle of the next heatwave.

The US is essentially in a second Civil War and this will be one of the main methods in which people are killed, i.e. purposefully setting up the conditions for people to die in a heat wave and have no water so they are desperate… and the only way people in the US are going to stomach it is if they have been truly convinced they have to accept these brutal conditions “because we are hopelessly behind China and we can’t afford to stop building data centers!!”.
