Just do the same thing they did. Print stickers of Trump saying 'I did this' pointing to high prices of things like eggs.
It's crazy to see "price of eggs!" as a talking point appear on every major broadcaster a month before the election as the defacto rubric for economic strength. Then trillions invested in Western based AI gets obliterated within a week of the new administration taking office.
Well since 50% of Americans don't own stocks and 93% is owned by the top 10%, eggs definitely affect the average person more.
A factory worker may not own a single share of stock and still rationally express concerned when the firm's stock price plummets.
The enormous upfront investment of capital in a rapidly outdated administration model should be extremely alarming to individuals whose employment is predicated on the output of that model.
Are you trying to say that people being fired from Nvidia is more important than egg prices? Maybe let me check how many employees they have. Seems to be about 30k. Idk man comparing human experiences at this scale gets pretty sticky. Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but egg prices and by extension grocery prices are probably more important to the average person. Infact they even affect Nvidia employees that are fired.
People from Nvidia, from Facebook, from Microsoft, from all the attendant businesses surrounding those firms.
Compound this with the consequences of money invested into AI at both the private and public levels that was supposed to supplement neglected spending in basic science R&D on the ground that AI could do R&D better (because it's God? Idk)
So there's a knock on effect to egg prices, given that the egg shortage is driven by Bird Flu and we're neglecting Bird Flu to build AI God.
I wanted to do this but I gotta figure out how to print my own because the prices I've been seeing on those are ludicrous for stickers.
