I mean, you took the first sentence out and ignored the rest of what I said. My point was that yes that is a reason, but it’s not the only reason. My point was they don’t wanna sell to consumers because Elon Musk is just gonna pre-order their entire stock for the next two years.

What’s crazy is that they aren’t just doing this because they make more money with AI. They’re doing this because these AI companies have basically pre-ordered a fuck ton of components that have not been manufactured yet to be put into computers that haven’t even been made yet for datacenters that are not even built yet all on an electrical grid that hasn’t caught up. As long as the manufacturers get paid they don’t really give a shit, but this is so unsustainable it would be hilarious if it weren’t so catastrophic for the rest of us. And as long as the line goes up as they all circle jerk their money around they’ll all be happy and can pretend the economy is good.

I mean, slavery was only abolished about 161 years ago in 1865 and the Civil Rights act was only about 62 years ago in 1964. A lot of the older people in our government were in their teens or kids when the civil rights movement was going on. This isn’t some kind of past that we’ve left behind, it’s literally the present as our elected officials have carried their prejudices into old age. And these same boomers could have even had great grand parents that owned slaves.

Yes, it’s generational hate that they’ve passed onto our generations. But that implies that those exact same people aren’t around anymore which they very much are and are running the government and making the rules. I mean, Trump was almost 20 when the Civil Rights Act was signed and I don’t think he was someone that was on the right side of that fight.

Obviously I’m writing this from the perspective of a white person and what I’m saying sounds pretty ignorant, and I get that. But at the same time this seems to be something people with privilege seem to forget. We’ve definitely made a lot of progress in a short period of time but it’s barely been half a century. I’m sure most people of color have a family member that had to fight for their rights and were told about it when they were growing up and already understand everything I just said. Realistically we didn’t even make it a couple generations before we went to… This. And it’s kind of pathetic and disappointing.

As a feet guy, I will never forgive people like him that have turned the foot fetish into the joke it is today. Makes us all look like creeps and it’s almost impossible to bring it up in conversation in any serious way anymore.

Also he’s kinda just an awful person. Most of the time he adds himself into his own movies it’s so he can be a creepy perv or so he can say the n word.

Some of his movies are pretty good though.
