I stand corrected.

Cory was where I read it first. He's marketed your analogy to a broad audience.

Too many on the technofascist AI bandwagon treat human beings & society's challenges as an Ant Colony Optimization algorithm awaiting a mechanistic solution.

Elon Musk calls people NPC (non player characters) to devalue human life.

His fossil fuel investors consider most of humanity as "just ants".

"Asbestos in the walls" is #Pluralistic 's analogy for the long term impact of AI and software development.

Yes, it's doing the insulating but everyone is getting mesothelioma from exposure to it.

Excellent!

Solar & wind generators should be part of FEMA kits and included in emergency response management everywhere.

... however, Trump just uses threats of DOJ investigation to get more bribery... ahem, campaign finance, out of corporations & billionaires & to squeeze blue state economies.

The best crime prevention programs begin at birth.

Parenting support. Adequate housing. Livable wages. Access to good nutrition. Clean air, water, & soil. Healthcare including mental health & dental. Education.

It's been shown to be far less expensive than a prison industrial complex or a criminal "justice" system.

Punitive policies breed better qualified & experienced criminals & manufactures more traumatized victims.

Punishment is very profitable to The Moneyed. Only.

Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security

Socialism is what they called farm price supports

Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people

Nuclear sabre-rattling & oil wars raise the price of gas.

That's what Trump's oil oligarchs, foreign & domestic, paid him to accomplish:

1. Thwart the switch to renewable energy by squeezing the manufacturers of solar panels & wind turbines; China

2. Windfall profits fund Putin's wars

3. Inflationary profiteering enriches The Moneyed

4. Cements financing for pipelines. Guarantees subsidies. Permits lax pollution regulation.
