Nationalize the companies involved in production and distribution and eliminate profit, making and selling everything at-cost also works.

The job of politicians shouldn't be considered to be to make people feel represented. It should be to actually represent them.
If it was to make people feel represented, then I'm sorry to inform you that Donald Trump is the most successful President in my memory, perhaps the most successful ever, because that is his appeal - he makes the MAGAts feel represented, and he does so very very strongly.
That is how it works as long as no one does anything to stop it.
Same as how Trump is not eligible to be President by the constitution, but that didn't stop him.
I like this template so much better than the Spider-Man one that people constantly use backwards.
There was in fact a Dragonlance movie in 2008, Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I have not seen it to know if it was even a little bit good, but hey...there was one!
Not even that, it's just a matter of what's really important. They threw out the filibuster on supreme Court appointments the instant it might've blocked them from appointing those who would give them more power.
So as soon as something comes up that they consider genuinely important rather than performative, it's gone.
The Clark Kent disguise would definitely fool most people that don't regularly interact with either of them.
The real dumb thing is it's portrayed as fooling people who have a close personal relationship with him in both forms and spend non negligible amounts of time around both Clark and Superman. Those people would quickly notice.
I don't typically have this issue at Walmart at least. Their self checkout is smooth and effective these days.
That said I still don't use it, because it's still shifting work to me without giving me compensation for it. If I got a discount for using the self checkout, sure, but I don't. So I'll keep using manned registers.
It's sad that in a country of over 300 million people, only one of us is both marginally competent enough to take successful action against these people, and not a chicken shit coward unwilling to put themselves on the line. And yeah, at least for now, I too am among the chicken shit cowards.
Of course that's what you see - those ideas have been planted. That's exactly what they want, they want regulations to prevent just anyone from getting into it and making use of the technology.
OpenAI whining about not being able to make money if they can't use the training data? That's Brer ~~Fox~~ Rabbit crying "please don't throw me into the briar patch, anything but that!" because if such regulations happen they'll pay a fine or something and then...nobody new can compete with the established parties. They absolutely love to use regulations to pull the ladder up behind themselves so they can't be competed with.
If anything I wonder if all the weird shit they're pushing is just to stoke anti AI sentiment so they can get these regulations passed.

To be fair, hasn't made much difference cause one, he got caught, and two, nobody else has done it.
I don't blame any particular person for it, of course. Hell, I share the blame myself. I haven't killed any CEOs or politicians either.
But it's not gonna work unless more of us gather up the courage Luigi had and take action.
