The new CEO of Verizon expected to layoff up to 20K workers. This new Verizon CEO sounds like Spamdar because Spamdar told workers to "stay scrappy" and this new Verizon CEO says the company has opportunities to be "scrappier." Verizon to cut up to 20,000 jobs in one of the largest tech layoffs ever - <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/verizon-cut-20-000-jobs-024512801.html">https://finance.yahoo.com/news/verizon-cut-20-000-jobs-024512801.html</a> <blockquote>Verizon is preparing to eliminate as many as 20,000 jobs and convert about 180 to 200 stores into franchises, marking one of the largest workforce reductions in its history, according to multiple sources. The cuts are expected to begin as soon as next week and could affect up to 20% of the telecom giant's 100,000 employees, sources told Bloomberg, Reuters and The Wall Street Journal. </blockquote>

I think those tariffs are Trump imposed price controls to the upside like something we would see in a Communist country.

Off-topic, Grokipedia is doing so well; the number of articles hasn't changed for the last week or two. They may have changed slightly, but it's unnoticeable.

Yes, I saw that, you can guarantee that like night follows day , if there are any sanctions, Scumdar will speak to Trumpty and impose tarrifs to reverse them like he did just recently.

That's all true and excellent points. Hopefully the director included broader points than just Trump in the film, because nothing was more Orwellian than the bullshit that happened during the last failed puppetmaster administration when they exploited a flu for political social control under the ruse of safety.

I watched a video where the director of this movie (Raoul Peck) was interviewed. In the interview the director mentioned he's seeing signs of Orwell's warnings and how leaders will lie to retain power. My favorite lie from Trump is that those of us who are not onboard with tariffs are fools. Tariffs are paid directly to government which is a tax that gets passed down to consumers. Retaliatory tariffs from Canada, along with their new $9.95 handling fee for imports, means Canada earns more from a Canadian buying our products then we do as the manufacturer having paid for the materials, equipment, labor, etc. to produce the goods. When Government earns more from the sale of goods then the producers, eventually those producers disappear. Unfortunately a lousy $2,000 tariff dividend won't cover the thousands more we as individuals are paying for Government getting rich on our backs. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1923346e065a78f9810705cecc9bb4b75a82e7485e74f7d66f0b0afe0c636ab.jpg

I see the movie "Orwell 2+2=5" has been released, but haven't watched it yet. The release of this movie might be good timing for what's going on with AI and all the lies we're being fed.

It's kinda wild seeing many gurus outside this industry only now suddenly realizing the harsh reality of what AI is about to do to many more job sectors. We all fucking might as well be Nostradamus to them for seeing it firsthand long ago and how obvious this shit was to predict spreading far beyond just publishers... <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1988698419997675964">https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1988698419997675964</a>

I'm reminded of Trump's shameful acts to shield the Google Crime Syndicate from facing justice. I don't think anyone in his admin has the spine to do the right thing - call for Google's immediate dissolution. Maybe the EU will be the one to say the only way to restore fairness to markets is to fully exclude Google from those markets. EU investigates Google over concerns content is unfairly demoted in search results - <a href="https://apnews.com/article/google-european-commission-investigation-548209cd3266713769df6ac991113cbf">https://apnews.com/article/google-european-commission-investigation-548209cd3266713769df6ac991113cbf</a> <blockquote>European Union regulators said Thursday they’re investigating whether Google is unfairly demoting some content from media publishers in search results under a policy the company says is aimed at combating scammers. Brussels moved forward despite the risk of incurring the wrath of President Donald Trump, who has lashed out at the 27-nation bloc’s digital regulations and vowed to retaliate if American tech companies are penalized.</blockquote>

They had this video on our local news for all to see. Probably trillions of dollars invested in AI so bots can fall over and Google can steal our content/traffic to serve the world shitty ads and even shittier search results. It's crazy stuff and a destructive waste of money. Anyway it looks like the guy either pushed the bot or hit a button on its back to perform it's next trick. LOL This is the AI that's going to takeover the world and replace workers, except for nursing home aides to pickup bots that fall over and issue an "I've fallen and can't get up" Life Alert alarm. Another step or shall I say fall to a world like the movie Idiocracy. Check out Cramer in the news about AI. More comparisons are being drawn to the dot bomb burst. I watched this dude from the start to finish of the dot com bubble. Stock market tanked yesterday and looks to continue today. Jim Cramer worries about tech insider selling, says AI ‘mania’ could be ‘starting to unwind’ - <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/13/jim-cramer-tech-insider-selling-ai-mania-worries-unwind.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/13/jim-cramer-tech-insider-selling-ai-mania-worries-unwind.html</a> <blockquote>CNBC’s Jim Cramer unpacked Thursday’s market action and worried about declines in the broader tech sector, suggesting insider selling in certain companies is reminiscent of the dotcom era.</blockquote>

October to December used to be the months we got twice, three times the traffic of other months. Shopping months. Now we have record low traffic. This industry is so cooked. Google has killed it. I do update the sites but I know they will never get enough traffic to even pay minimum wage.
