lmao if the Middle East is any indicator they don't give a gently caress about false positives. Was that Al Qaeda meeting really a wedding party? Oh well, who loving cares, chalk them up as "bug splats" (real term btw) and let's go after the next batch. Blammo.

oh I know I meant more along the lines of what will happen when it starts creeping into law enforcement back stateside and you have police going after people because a computer looked at a video and flagged a black guy walking down the street at a certain time of day "suspicious activity" or whatever and the courts have to start hashing out whether that sort of thing constitutes probable cause, is admissible as evidence at trial, etc. It could also become a political issue if enough people start caring about it which is another can of worms.

Basically a bunch of dum dums bought homes that they couldn't even afford to pay for around the same time. Then one day they all went to pay their mortgages and realized they didn't have the cash. All of these idiots started foreclosing and squatting in their homes which caused the housing market to crash. The recession sucked for a lot of people but actually benefited anyone with half a brain.

Today most of the people whining about the economy are just terrible with money and can't live within their means.

The truth is most Americans are racist and think they're too good to live in poor black neighborhoods/trailer parks even though they have poor to lower middle class incomes.

This is basically what Elizabeth Warren says in her book, "The Two Income Trap".

capitalism operates in a boom and bust cycle..we've been hovering near "bust" for a little while now.

But I blame the international nature of large corporations, and the lack of willpower or even ability for the government to reign them in and keep their jobs, profits, (and taxes) at home. Something like Japan's loyalty culture would have been nice in the US.

But regulation can't address all issues, in the end without strong cultural shifts it is just asking the fox to tend the chicken coop. People, and corporations, have to want to "do the right thing"

Same but my co-workers are in their mid fifties and can't afford healthcare but eat out/buy lottery tickets every day.

One of my co-workers literally told me "I liked my last employer because they worked with me to make sure when I got a raise I didn't enter another tax bracket! :smug: " :lol:
