Bernie Sanders is on CNN NOW......and he's got new glasses........he is saying the US population should get at least

[a kennedy]

50% of the profits of the AI companies!!!!! Gawd I love him.

[WSHazel]

1. I wish politicians were smarter about bubbles

The AI companies, other than the chip makers and some data center builders, are unlikely to see any profits. Ever.

[MadameButterfly]

3. Really?

Please enlighten me further.

5. Nvidia

Which is exactly why on the advice of a friend in the business I bought 1000 shares of Nvidia at the beginning of 2023 for a little over $14,000. As of today’s statement from Edward Jones, it’s worth a little over $224,000. I should mention that includes at least one split. The chipmakers are where the money is.

14. In 1998, a broker gave me similar advice

Since I was already traveling like a whirlwind for my job, I hardly paid any attention to any such advice from a broker. But this one time I did. I bought 1000 shares of Texas Instruments at $54. In the first eight years, it split two-for-one three times, so now I had eight thousand shares. It went up to over $75, but during the Cheney-Bush recession of 2008, it went down to $20. I asked the (now new) broker if I shouldn’t buy more? She said no, too many eggs in one basket. Great advice THAT was, right? It’s now over $300. At least I kept the rest. Like I said, I paid little attention to this game. I pay even less now. There seems little sense in selling for a big profit when well over half of it will be gobbled up by two different governments. I’m better off leaving it to my NY-based daughter, who would only be taxed once on it. My Germany-based daughter has made so much money already that she doesn’t want anything from me anyway (she, or her kids, will get some despite that), since she has probably already made more than I ever will.

2. If we had listened to Bernie in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess.

[W_HAMILTON]

13. I think too many people listening to Sanders in the first place is why we are in this mess to begin with.

[betsuni]

17. If only Harry Reid hadn't been able to talk Sanders out of primarying Obama in 2012.

But at least then people would've caught on that "democratic socialism" revolution means regulated capitalism, same as liberal Democrats' policies and there isn't any ideological difference except for strategy. There could've been unity and progress.

[mvd]

15. Exactly

Of course, no one has to love Bernie. But I don’t have to like the centrist direction of the party, either.

[MadameButterfly]

4. 50% isn't enough if they steal my work

and I can't practice my profession. And if there aren't any more artists because who can compete?
They have to stop the theft.

6. Adapt. Adjust

All the buggy whip factories are still out of business.

[AZ8theist]

10. My cannonball factory has been pretty slow for a while now.....BUT

7. Andrew Yang was ahead of his time.

Andrew Yang, a former Democratic presidential candidate, proposed a universal basic income of $1,000 per month

[calimary]

8. Boy was he ever!

[a kennedy]

12. OMG....WANG/Sanders!!!!!! Seriously....2028!!!!!

[a kennedy]

16. Wang/Sanders 2028.

Seriously…love both these men. How do we get them on the 2028 ticket????

[gulliver]

9. Sorry, but remember he's not a Democrat

At least he has some clue about AI being important. His take is pathetic, but at least he is saying something.

[state of stupid]

11. I do not have any good answers to any of this. I used to tell people if you

are going to be replaced by automation and robots, do not go looking for a job that
could be replaced by automation and robots, look for a job fixing the automation and
robots. With all the speculation of no need for humans to work because AI is going to
replace you; then why do I need to live since it would appear I am no longer needed?
The longer I live, the more I think that these assholes that think that way are people
that really need to be locked up someplace where they cannot be a threat to mankind.

[Matthew28]

18. We shoudl set up a basic income

To make sure everyone lives without fear of homelessness, hunger or poverty ever again in this country.
