📝 🇺🇸 📖 The Washington Post editorial board issues a stern warning:
The 2030's could be worse than the 1930's.
The problem:
"The budget of the federal government is the largest of any organization in human history. It’s larger than the entire economy of every foreign country except China. And it mostly grows automatically, without regular input from elected officials."
"According to the Congressional Budget Office, 2030 is the year when federal debt held by the public as a share of the economy will exceed the record set by World War II. Unlike in the ’40s, this debt shows no signs of ever declining."
"The year 2030 is also roughly when the ratio of seniors to the total population will reach 1 in 5. As recently as 2008, the ratio was around 1 in 8. Seniors’ rising share of the population mechanically raises Social Security and Medicare costs and pushes them onto a proportionally smaller working population."
"Social Security used to take in more money than it gave out, but that money was spent on other things. The program has run annual deficits since 2010. It is projected to go insolvent in 2032, at which point seniors would receive a roughly one-quarter cut in benefits across the board."
"Medicare’s budget-busting makes Social Security’s look modest by comparison. Of the projected $138 trillion budget shortfall over the next 30 years, $109 trillion is from Medicare."
"The fiscal challenges scheduled to arrive in the 2030s are actually based on optimistic assumptions. They are from the CBO’s baseline estimates, which assume no wars, no recessions, low and stable inflation and no new government programs or tax changes."

5 Things You Should NEVER Share With ChatGPT
1. Your medical information or health info
2. Confidential or proprietary work information
3. Your financial information
4. Any personally identifiable information
5. Intimate details about your personal life.
All data you share will be stored, analyzed, and potentially reused. Sensitive details about your thoughts, behaviors, mental state or relationships in these conversations are not legally protected and could potentially be used as evidence in court.
Remember, data is the greatest value that AI companies can extract from us. Treat AI conversations like semi-public spaces, not private diaries.

This doesn't just go for ChatGPT but ALL AI chatbots.
Data is the new oil in the age of technocracy.
Once you put your life into a machine, you don't control where that information goes next.
Think before you share.
I am hearing from farmers who are confirming — given diesel prices, they are walking away from their crops.
The math just doesn't add up for them. It is economically unviable to farm.
And as they destroy the family farms, they roll out the gene-edited food... with extremely dangerous consequences to all living creatures (especially microbiome).
Folks are feeling the pain from diesel and are wondering what's going on — ensure they get the big picture agenda, not some partisan blame game nonsense. Spread the word.
