    Holy shit, I had to check whether this was the onion or not on this one.

    I susppect that billionaires prefer young people in certain roles because many young people lack the experience to recognize evil instructions.

      Young people are often easier to mold and manipulate. It makes sense.

    I know I’ve wanted younger people in government, but I was hoping for people in their 30’s or 40’s. These kids can’t even rent a car legally. I’ve got a feeling that they’re just puppets.

      Speaking as a former puppet: all of Capitol Hill/much of D.C. is run by 20-somethings like this, precisely because they’re easy to manipulate.

                Its speaking to people. They also subtly make fun of a lot of corporate BS. The acting is top notch, the writing is fantastic, the story is intriguing, the cinematography is perfect, the sets, everything is on point. Well worth watching.

    They are feeding all communications from devices into AI right now, both a massive security breach and they are calculating and creating an enemies list. Watch.

      I’d rather drink and play video games while I’m waiting for the Alphabet Boys to show up. I don’t wanna stress out peeking out the window.

        Sadly this is how I’m starting to feel. The problem is that means we are allowing this to happen.

          Funnily enough, most of the states where you’ll have to worry about the alphabet boys, also have Castle Doctrine laws. If they don’t have a warrant, Stand Your Ground. Take as many of them with you as you can.

          Best strategy for now is just volunteer a few days with local activist groups. Otherwise one is just letting this happen.

    I guess the Jordan Peele reboot of the twilight zone episode: The Wunderkind wasn’t too far off
