  It's curious that the AI guys didn't *lead* with curing any diseases. The opening salvo of deepfake porn and school bombings just has us feeling like, "Errr, about those medicines you were offering? Um, we'll pass. We gotta get home. Mom's making her famous meatloaf!"

  Maybe trying to deal with grief alone is like trying to get a long sofa from the curb up to the living room of your 4-story walk up apartment. No amount of physical strength will allow you to move it by yourself. You need others to help. It takes paid professionals, friends, or maybe even a friendly stranger or two!

  I don't think people should own homes in places where they don't live and/or have any serious connection. My mom owns an investment property in a state she's only ever visited once. She was having an issue with it recently and it occurred to me that it could all be solved a lot easier by someone who lived there and was invested day to day in the community. Capitalism really is about distance, alienation. Invisible worker, owner, landlord, decision-maker. #capitalism
