Overtime: Andrew Yang, Noa Tishby, Rep. Elissa Slotkin | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

[@JustinFisher777]

The transition from Yang talking about the millions of jobs about to disappear and the question about the hat is like something out of the Hunger Games.

[@rikcoach1]

Slotkin is just the kind of politician we don’t need

[@jbjacobs9514]

I actually agree, but probably for different reasons than you. She never said a true word that she thought, except showing that she was so woke that she HAD to assert her pro-Palestinians/anti-Israel into the Israel argument. As a Jewish Dem, I hate having to listen to self-hating Jews. But all that aside, every answer she gave was extremely political and CAREFUL. Too afraid that people might hate to hear what she really thinks.

There are atheists that oppose abortion. My opposition of third-trimester and hesitancy about second-trimester abortion comes from my psychology classes where we talked about how fetuses do encode memory in the womb (the closest standard we have to personhood, unless you are going to claim that the average baby does not achieve personhood until 2 years of age and some people with various disabilities never reach personhood, both ideas that I reject, largely because of my religion).

The problem we have with the job market and the labor force is that we have a ton of open jobs that pay crap and treat workers like garbage, but companies are unwilling to change so they just claim "nobody wants to work" Then we have many open jobs for skilled workers, but there's a shortage of those workers because nobody has those skills. We can blame the education system, but we also need to blame companies because they won't train or groom anyone. They expect someone to walk in and have little to no onboarding and just get right to it. Then finally, we have lots of jobs out there open, people could do them, they pay well, but companies have these horrendously broken recruiting systems that drag things out forever and ever to actually finally hire somebody, and then they come in to a toxic workplace and want to leave very quickly. The reality is that too many companies had it too good when we had an overabundance of people and a shortage of jobs. It's sad even that some companies want to go back to that. The writing was on the wall after the pandemic, but companies are just living in denial and still claiming that "culture" and "in-person collaboration" are the big things, when they are not. They also still won't pay a living wage that somebody in those vicinities can live on. That, or they won't let these people be remote and go live someplace where they can afford to live on that salary. So now they want to bring in AI and just replace more people. What's going to happen when now you have a plethora of population unable to afford to buy anything? I guarantee those same companies are then going to be lobbying the government to set up socialist programs and pay these companies taxpayer money to basically give out their goods or services.

I wish he talked more policy and explained how he thinks the Forward Party is going to fix the broken 2-party system that benefits more from NOT solving issues. Leaving abortion rights in limbo meant it could be a voter issue in every election. That turned out terribly.

[@Xeroize7459]

​@@faceplants2 I can fill in as a member of the Forward Party. His intention is to build the movement/party from the ground up instead of top-down. As such, the Forward Party's current focus is local elections not big ticket ones. Also the chief party policy positions are currently ranked choice voting, open primaries, and multi-member districts. Rank choice voting seeks to reduce the spoiler effect (also known as voting for the lesser of two evils). It allows people to vote for who they actually want, while still ensuring if their candidate isn't viable for a chance to win their vote will still be counted towards their preference of candidates. Expected impacts are reduced negative political attacks (since they lose their value in a ranked choice voting system) and initial cost both in funds/time to retrofit voting procedures/systems. Alaska currently uses this system successfully. Open primaries look to reduce the level of extremism present in both major political parties. By making the primaries of both Democrats and Republicans open to public vote by all, the candidates unacceptable to one of the camps are unlikely to achieve a nomination. This should result in more moderate candidates overall and more bipartisan agreement. This idea is common in Europe. Multi-member districts is really a stretch goal (the first two are likely to succeed, the multi-member district idea is still not quite ready for passage). The idea is that we triple the number of politicians in both the house and senate but keep the number of districts the same. Instead of districts having 1 candidate, they will have 3 each. Those 3 will be the 3 highest ranking in voting using the rank choice voting system. As such, in red districts we would expect 2 Republicans and an Independent; In blue districts we would expect 2 Democrats and an Independent; and in contested or "purple" districts, we would expect 1 Republican, 1 Democrat, and 1 Independent. This should result in a more responsive government (3 times as many folks representing each person means more availability for responses) and a political body that is more a true representation of the American people (ex: Republicans in blue districts, and Democrats in red districts would get better representation). This would also nearly kill Gerrymandering as it would lose its usefulness in a multi-member district (At best Gerrymandering could only determine who was 1st and 2nd pick, not whether a candidate is elected or not).

The most immediate problem with AI is that the capitalist system is not set up for handling it.

As an Arab-American, I have an issue with the anti-Zionism equating anti-Semitism. If I was to question the reasons for the establishment of the United States in this country (feathering and tarring British, slavery, Native American suffering), that doesn’t make me anti-American. It makes me critical of certain origin issues that the US had a hand in without wishing ill will to the US as a nation presently. One can still have a healthy conversation of some of the issues of how Israel started as a country at the expense of Palestinians (the result of Zionist passions) without necessarily wishing for the dismantling of a whole legitimate nation in its present form. There should be freedom of a healthy discussion on this so that we can right the wrongs of the past, which is what makes the US such a great nation today, in that we admit not every origin story is black and white, and some problems associated with the origins of nations and the philosophical foundations of that establishment should be criticized for the betterment of the nations. And what a wonderful world it would be for an Israel who can admit that Zionism has its dark side (as well as its justifications) and that Israel can be a better place for its Arab citizens today for that freedom to discuss and right the wrongs of that dark side while praising its accomplishments.
