No need to apologize, you just mentioning those things, is a good chance to get some info out about them, and you still talked about the issue in good context.

You were essentially correct, you just used words that, rich fucks with disproportionally more power than you, have intentionally popularized for their benefit.

Just a little nitpick, the whole “Money borrowed with no plan” story is soft victim-blaming propaganda.

A considerable part of the debt came from literally before the nation was free from occupation (for the war effort itself), and very little reached the citizens. An extremely small percentage of the country, surrounding the interests of a group of like 5 families, has gotten the crushing lion’s share of borrowed money, directly to pocket or to their private investments, while paying it off is “democratized”.

Nope, no context you’re missing. Gross misappropriations of public funds is our Tuesday.

Our government is corrupt beyond all logic, and easy to buy off for anyone in USA’s economic friend circle. You can read my other emotionally-driven rant response, to the comment in this chain, but yeah. Your assessment is correct, with the exception of you thinking “That couldn’t possibly be the case!”

No, our government isn’t forcing us to work more only to pay like 5 rich Greeks’ German loan interest, it’s also to pay for submarines and warships that protect USA war interests, Israeli bombing, drone production, and data centre interests, American and British private college interests, and Greek Parliament literal serial criminals’ interests. (Interest pun intended)

In all seriousness, any such AI deal, makes a lot of sense as a “Mr. Open AI, you give us data control and a hefty bonus, and we give you some of these workers’ money that we collected, everyone wins.”
