This could also happen to the Portland Trail Blazers, with respect to them being moved out of the city like the Super Sonics were in 2008 over to Orlando, Florida. I will be livid if the City of Portland somehow caves to Blazers owner Tom Dundon in the future over Dundon's incessant demands with always having to be right and invoking libertarianism far too often when as a businessman, he should not be "a stick in the mud."
The new wave we all were worried about many years ago is what we have now with these new billionaires literally taking over both our virtual and physical worlds using just capital. These are the others who are good at making mergers and also stealing comparatively small numbers of electoral votes for Republican Presidents. [1]
The consolidation of most of our online entertainment sources is not the way, America. AG Rob #Bonta should have known that.
Governor Newsom: We're trying to create MORE jobs. AI is certainly not a panacea when taking into account both Hollywood's and the music industry's views on this subject.
Robots actually cannot write scripts or pen screenplays. Has anyone ever read creative fiction written by AI? Most attempts to train AI in the art of story writing end up being crap.
#Paramount 's CEO is the son of the ultra-rich Oracle CEO, Larry Ellison. Greed runs strong in the #Ellison family. Nobody really wants to take the time to ask Larry Ellison exactly how he created quite a few obstacles for Open Source database design years ago. All of that trickled up into the design of AI. These fools' goal is world domination of all enterprises and making literally everything about virtual commerce while ripping off all the rights to use our identities through instilling the presence of their brands and going way too far in selling nothing of value to the general public. Capital exploitation of consumers and workers is really not the best business model, David Ellison. I mean c'mon, seriously... Who are we fooling? They do not care.
The reason the US stock market is unpredictable in a steady and cyclical way is because most publicly-traded companies add a layer of risk to make investing in these vehicles riskier than profit margins would clearly dictate. We have known about this hold-up with improving overall profitability for years while crap artists such as Jim Cramer over at CNBC talk garbage "a mile a minute" about how great the stock market is. All the Cramers in the world plug their ears and just hum to themselves: "La, la, la! Please America, get a job and tell us that everything is alright."
[1] - 2024's election was handed to Trump by the idiots voting for him — and also 2024 was unofficially stolen by Republicans. The red states and Trump had some help from billionaires Peter Thiel and Elmo Musk procedurally influencing the elections testing laboratory Pro V&V in that one special way months before the 2024 election. Turnip created the perfect smokescreen by repeatedly using his attorneys to talk shit over the outcome of the *2020* election. In that one sense, Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are brilliant.
They knew in the end that no one would care because our media has become something #homogeneous.
They knew in the end that the screenwriters and actors down in #Hollywood did not have enough of a union presence to stop this crap merger.
