So uhhh where are you getting all these EMPs from?

Exactly which means superior build quality and a great experience. Parents will be snapping these up in the fall for back to school.

No legal argument is necessary. Just look at history. The rich and well connected have always lived by a different set of rules.

See below:

• Robert Richards (Du Pont heir): A 2014 Forbes article noted that a Du Pont heir, Robert Richards, pleaded guilty to raping his 3-year-old daughter in 2008 and received probation instead of jail time, which caused public outrage.
• August Busch IV: August Busch IV, a former Anheuser-Busch CEO, has been involved in past legal incidents, including a girlfriend’s overdose death at his house in 2010 and a car crash in 1983, but he was not charged with rape in these cases.

You aren’t wrong. But what you just described is exactly why most companies choose thin clients.

No customization, no unauthorized software installs, no distractions for staff and they will just run forever without major updates. All IT has to do is maintain a server or offsite cloud environment.

Would I personally want one… no. But I can see this as an alternative to non techie people who just need a cheap computer for email, web browsing and the occasional word document.

Walk into any office or business that runs off the cloud or a local server and they will likely have dozens… I mean dozens of these lying around.

I know the gaming community looks at these like a vampire looks at a rosary but it isn’t new tech or even a new concept.

The AI bubble is starting to pop. All of these companies have made hardware and data center investments far beyond what is needed or can be sustained. The debt is piling up and they are scrambling to justify the immense build out. Musk allowing porn and CSAM on Grock for paid users , Chat GPT pushing commercials, Microslop putting copilot in everything and forcing adoption. Oracles server utilization remains low, Etc. etc.

They now need to show immense growth and adoption in order to keep getting loans or justify burning cash to their shareholders.

Chat GPT and Oracle will be the first to fall, then xAI etc. Google and Microslop have other revenue sources that can weather the storm. But they won’t continue their massive investments.

I agree, the problem is you have to consume at some level you need food water clothes etc. and for poorer people 100% of their income goes to just buying the basics. You also don’t want to put other citizens out of jobs because of a boycott, that would get unpopular quickly.

For this to work long term you need to get the top 10% or 20% of consumers to cut back on the extras. I.E. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Chat GPT subscriptions, hold off buying an iPhone or electronics, etc.

If you did that and caused consumption to dip even 5% you would hurt the companies that the oligarchs run and in turn hurt Trump.

Ramp it up!

The worst crime you can commit under capitalism is not participating, not buying, not renting, etc. These tech companies are built on debt that is serviced by profits.

Moving the needle down and impacting their income by even 5% will have a huge impact on a business’s bottom line and in turn a CEO’s income, bonuses and stock options etc.

If you want to make Trump and his regime change then you have to hit the only people he will listen to… his fellow oligarchs.

*Automatically nationalized and leadership at those companies should be investigated and tried for fraud.

These CEOs need to take accountability not a golden parachute. They know when a business is failing and when they are defrauding investors and the public.

The government will not let SpaceX fail, it’s a strategic asset and Musk knows this. He is going to tie his Xai to it and saddle it with all the debt it is incurring. When the AI bubble pops he will be able to ask for bail outs to keep SpaceX afloat.
