  • [Video] Hezbollah FPV drone somehow incinerates Merkava tank after hitting the cope cage

    Jump

  • This looks like ammo cook-off, which is a known problem with the Merkava. Drone got a lucky hit on the ammo stored in the turret.

  • Did anyone bother to ask the dog?

  • Can't find a decent math sub so asking here. If we killed all bad billionaires or all the 1%. How much would America clear it's debt or how much could be given to taxpayers?

    Jump

  • Edit: Ignore this, I misread your question. I think you're asking if we seized ALL the wealth from the 1%, not just their share of national debt.

    U.S. federal debt is essentially all in the form of Treasury securities (a.k.a. "Treasuries"). So I think you're asking how much debt the U.S. could eliminate by basically seizing all the Treasuries from its wealthiest investors and destroying them. I can't find any data on much debt is owned solely by billionaires, however there are several web sites that give detailed breakdowns on Treasury ownership, like https://www.us-debt-clock.com/blog/who-owns-us-debt-breakdown. That site reports that individual investors own $6.7 trillion (18.6%) of U.S. debt. Although we don't know how much of that is owned by billionaires, it does provide an upper-bound on how much they possibly could own. If we assume billionaires hold about half of that $6.7 trillion, then they account for about 9% of the total national debt. The U.S. spends about $900 billion annually on interest on it's debt right now, so eliminating 9% of that would come out to about an $80 billion savings, which is a little over 1% of the annual federal budget of $7 trillion in 2025. If that was redistributed equally to all of the ~150 million U.S. taxpayers, then everyone would get about $500.

    This is all based on a lot of guesswork and rough estimates, so take it with a grain of salt.

  • This is kind of the argument I have with my coworkers about AI. One in particular loves using ChatGPT to generate all the bullshit memos, justifications, and accomplishments we have to produce, however I have to point out that those things had no value to begin with. AI is good at doing things that don't need to be done.

  • Nvidia executive says AI is more expensive than human workers

  • The obvious solution is to build more data centers to benefit from economies of scale. Maybe we could get local communities to help subsidize the water and electricity costs too.

  • Hopefully AI goes away before it can cause any more economic and environmental damage.

  • Ukraine Names Steven Seagal as Illegal Arms Recipient in Smuggling Probe

    Jump

  • Seagal received Russian citizenship in 2016, joined a pro-Kremlin political party in 2021, and visited occupied Ukraine in August 2022

    WTF? Dude went full Russian. Now I'll never be able to enjoy the cinematic masterpiece Under Siege ever again.

  • That's great that they all found something that they can healthily obsess over and that also makes them rich. Spend as much time on your passion as you want.

    Unfortunately, I'm not as passionate about your company as you are. You need to pay me for every hour you want me to contribute to it. If I'm not getting paid on a Saturday, then I'm not working for your company on a Saturday.
