It's hard to feel optimistic about even the most positive developments when you've spent the last few months watching your nation's founding document and supreme law completely fail to protect the most basic human rights of an entire state's population.
For Virginians, the sacred freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights rendered null and void by nothing more than a single state election cycle, and the first thing the tyrants did after taking power is set to work to ensure that their party never loses another election.
What can you do when you're too small to fight back and too poor to leave?
It's not like we ignored pandemic-era warnings to flee a woke city full of subway trains and skyscrapers. We live within a mile of a cow pasture and a national forest. Wherever you go, the woke mind-virus will find you. You can run but you can't hide.
A few days shy of 251 years ago, a famous Virginian asked his neighbors, "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?"
The 2026 response to that question is apparently a resounding "Yes!"
Forbid it, Almighty God.

You're probably familiar with the Tate-LaBianca (Manson family) murders but have you ever heard of the Hanafi Massacre, and the hostage crises that it inspired?

Whelton summarized the general mood: "Half the people want the gunmen to come out fighting. The other half want the cops to go in shooting. Everybody wants blood." This frustrated the NYPD, especially Schlossberg, who feared the crowd and the media could negatively affect negotiations.

Then-councilman and future four-term D.C. mayor Marion Barry walked into the hallway after hearing a commotion and was struck by a ricocheting shotgun pellet, which lodged just above his heart.
L. Douglas Heck and Rudy Giuliani had organized a team within the United States Department of Justice aimed at "combating terrorism". Although they claimed that DC police would handle the attacks, they soon brought in two intelligence operatives, Steve Pieczenik and Robert Blum.

A $50 Bitaxe in 2026 has more raw SHA-256 hashing power than the entire Bitcoin network did for the first several months of its existence. The total network hashrate didn't reach 500 GH/s until sometime around mid-2011. So your tiny little Bitaxe would have been the most powerful mining operation on the planet for roughly the first two years of Bitcoin's life. 🤯"

"If a CIA officer were deployed in a war zone, whether overtly or operating under cover (such as posing as a civilian correspondent), their injury would not be logged on standard OSHA compliance forms.
The OSH Act of 1970 (Section 16): This section allows the government to grant exemptions and variations from the Act's requirements when necessary to avoid "serious impairment of the national defense." Covert intelligence and wartime operations heavily rely on this protective category.
Protection of Sources and Methods: The National Security Act of 1947 and the CIA Act of 1949 grant the CIA Director broad, superseding statutory authority to protect intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized disclosure. Mandating that the CIA log an operative's name, location, and the nature of their injury on an administrative form would constitute a direct violation of these secrecy statutes."

ppqai auto:
"News networks like CNN do not receive exemptions from OSHA for recordable work injuries suffered by reporters in war zones; OSHA standards apply to U.S.-based employers regardless of employee location.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires employers, including media companies, to record work-related injuries and illnesses on OSHA Form 300 if they meet specific criteria, such as resulting in medical treatment beyond first aid, days away from work, or restricted duties—regardless of whether the incident occurs domestically or abroad.[OSHA knowledge: 29 CFR 1904.2 and 1904.4]. Employers must maintain these records for employees working outside the U.S. if they are U.S. citizens or covered under U.S. jurisdiction, with no categorical exemptions for high-risk assignments like war zones.[OSHA knowledge: OSHA Directive CPL 02-00-135].
No information in available sources indicates CNN or similar networks obtain special exemptions for war zone injuries; instead, they follow standard OSHA reporting obligations, potentially supplemented by internal safety protocols, workers' compensation insurance, or union agreements for journalists. For example, networks often provide hazard pay, medical evacuations, and insurance riders for combat zones, but these do not alter OSHA's recordkeeping mandate. Reporters like CNN's Alex Marquardt, who has covered war zones extensively, operate under salaried employment where injury risks are acknowledged, but legal requirements for injury reporting persist."

A long-running lawsuit claiming that a private prison contractor broke federal and Colorado law by forcing immigration detainees to work moved closer to trial Wednesday after the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a bid by the company to toss out the case.
The contractor, GEO Group, asserted it was entitled to immunity and should not face a civil trial because the firm’s detainee work policies were carried out at the direction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The class-action lawsuit, filed in 2014, focused on practices at GEO’s facility in Aurora, Colorado. Immigration detainees there were required to clean all common areas and faced possible solitary confinement for failing to comply. They were offered $1 a day for work preparing food and cleaning laundry at a time when the state’s minimum wage was $8 an hour.

I'm not a coder so I'm expressing my skepticism specifically as a member of camp 1 (fancy google search).
Analogy: Michael Knight asks KITT what modifications need to be made to allow them to successfully jump across the canyon.
Fictional TV show KITT's response would be either it's impossible or here's a list of stuff Bonnie needs to do to ensure success.
LLM KITT would give Michael a lengthy list of stuff to do, wait for him to get stuck on the last step, then puke up an annoying confirmation like "Good catch, Michael! Indeed, my body composition would not be able to withstand the forces of a JATO rocket strapped to my T-top."
For me the problem is "I know all the answers in the universe, but I'm gonna give you the wrong answer at least 15% of the time. Have fun figuring out which answer is incorrect."
An "I'm not sure" from a 9-fingered shop teacher is more comforting and less of a time-suck than some of the advice I've gotten from AI.

"Commodity Credit is where somebody has earned income and saved it, and they're turning around and lending it out, versus Circulation Credit, which is creating credit out of thin air.
