Maybe the AI can explain how this makes any sense to anybody. Take the wildest guess you can.Migrants in Brownsville, Texas, open packets from DHS and use government-issued cell phones after processing. Some of their court dates reportedly won't be until 2027.

It's impossible to print enough money to keep the ponzi scheme going, so they are printing debtors. There are many other reasons, including the hate-fueled desire to replace white Europeans, but preventing deflation by any means necessary is the most pressing issue right now.

Again, propping up social security, and cheap demi-slave labor. It makes perfect sense, it just doesn't benefit all of us.

Robert Malone did an excellent piece on what peer review consists of. I imagine this is repetitive for many of the enlightened folks here, but good to keep in mind when talking to the masses.
I, like most people, thought peer review = experiment replication. It does not, as I found out when I published my one and to date only (and likely ever) peer reviewed paper.
Peer review example: “Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine among children”
Cliffs: peer review is a sniff test by a panel of experts. They determine if the result is plausible. It should be immediately obvious why this methodology is dangerous in the applied sciences.
Is the vax safe? Well, the paper on the trial said so and it's peer reviewed.
Is co2 causing the climate to change in a dangerous way? Well, the peer reviewed sciences says so. Who are those peers? do they have a common interest?
Is saturated fat in the diet killing people via heart attacks? Well, the peer reviewed science says so. Those peers happened to be paid off by the sugar lobby.
Is testosterone causative factor in prostate cancer? Well, the peer reviewed science says so (based on n=11 if i recall correctly)
Should we risk destroying the ecosystems of the planet by putting up a sunshade in space to save it from being 2F higher in the summer 150 years from now?
You can see how dangerous this will get if its allowed to continue.
Our culture needs to bring back experimental replication to science.

It is exactly these types of articles that will be the first to be eliminated by AI, and the humans should be happy about that because Mastroianni says nothing new and tweets something that the scientific community has been discussing for years. He also makes some blatant exaggerations. Just one example: "From antiquity to modernity, scientists wrote letters and circulated monographs, and the main barriers stopping them from communicating their findings were the cost of paper, postage, or a printing press, or on rare occasions, the cost of a visit from the Catholic Church." Total exaggeration. The barriers to entry for publishing were in some ways far taller than they are today. Scientists in antiquity represented a very small boy's club (no trans allowed) of academics and educated wealthy men of leisure. These people had the time and resources to conduct and publish scientific studies. While there was no peer review, it was far more restrictive because you had to be part of that smaller establishment to even do science. Let's also not forget Giordano Bruno.
Having said that, there are some things that Mastroianni is right about, but I still object to the article on the basis that he is saying nothing new and is just rehashing previously published ideas (old style AI) that have been published by others for over 15 years.
Some better articles on the problems on the peer review process:
(17 year old article): Peer review: a flawed process at the heart of science and journals - PMC
(6 year old article): Scientific papers need better feedback systems | WIRED UK
(5 year old article): It’s time to open the black box of peer review – ASAPbio
(5 year old article): Scientific Publishing in the Digital Age – ASAPbio
The old journals (Nature, JAMA) made sense in the paper era when publishing paper journals was very expensive. Vetting was required to make sure that you were not wasting glossy paper. The ideal future model is an open source digital model where the author is anonymous. Revealing the name of the author, before publication, would be punishable similar to insider trading (prevents establishment from having an advantage). Reviewers (names must be published) can comment but must have skin in the game. If the article proves to be fake or non-reproducible, then the reviewers who approve the article go down with the ship. There is also nothing stopping people from publishing on their own (i.e. starting strength).

The Dems are obviously hoping that these people will eventually be Dem pro-socialist voters, which is usually the case. The far right (Koch brothers) oligarchs also support this effort for cheap labor. I'm giving Trump an 80% chance of winning in 2024, up from 2% last summer. The recent CNN Townhall was an early indicator that the Lib media can't kick their heroin-like dependency on Trump for ratings. They got him elected in 2016 and it seems like they're going to try again for 2024. Biden is just bad for ratings.

Who are you voting for, Frank? And why do you never make a typo?

Not sure yet. If DeSantis could give up the occasional clownish behavior, he would be good. He's the only electable candidate with laser focus on the danger of Woke. Trump publicly disobeys Woke compliance, but DeSantis actually knows how to implement policy, not just talk. Stupid jokes like potentially building a prison next to Disneyland don't help DeSantis. Shipping migrants to Martha's Vineyard was also a silly and expensive prank. Boston or Somerville MA (sanctuary city) would have been more effective and respected.
It's called proofreading, but occasionally some slip through.
