They even called Kamala DEI hire 😂

The lady bishop that was begging baba trump for mercy on immigrants some even want her deported, to where I don’t even know 😂 the same mercy that bishop was asking for is what a republican congress woman of Cuban descent is asking baba Trump for now by writing to the homeland department to spare her Cuban people that are awaiting processing of their status. Just bunch of unserious and inconsistent people.

jedisco:
Hehe. I'm not a Trump fan but it'd do the demogratic party and wider left good to be a bit introspective and consider wider reasons before narrowing it all down to racism. Many have accused the democratic party of being to high-handed and failing to connect with the average person.
Yes a huge chunk voted on racial grounds but there are still many more that didn't.

Goke7:
There have been inconsistencies on the reasons given for folks swinging to the right, the same people will tell you tomorrow that it was because of the economy or inflation another day they will tell you it’s because of immigration and the southern border. All sorts of excuses all in the name of being politically correct so it’s neither here nor there from my observation. Even the DEI excuse thing has been used by many to portray that it was mainly used to promote the trans community while denying the many other benefits it brings for an integrated society.

As I said in your lie you claim he signed a bill instead of an executive order.

Alot has been said about AI and how it'd render many jobless. I absolutely agree its revolutionary however history has shown us we tend to overestimate the impact of a new tech advancement in the short-term (leading to market frenzies) but underestimate its longterm effects. Same story led to the internet boom of 2000. Many people made postulations in 1998 of how the internet wuld render postal workers useless e.t.c. While certain changes took place, we still have postmen today. Very few would have envisaged how large Internet based companies would grow, or jobs and future tech they'd create and even AI we have tethered to it today. Another good example is electricity, the printing press even crypt0 - brilliant tech, early hype but still yet to find a widely accepted everyday use case (yes, I'm 'invested')


I work with lots of AI models and have found them to be mind-blowing at times. Healthcare is heavily targeted with AI as funding is government backed, services need to cater to millions and our systems move slowly. So as a tech coy, once you get some buy-in you're almost sure you have lifetime customers. I use an AI scribe that helps write up my notes, write referrals e.t.c. Its good- can it replace a practice secretary? Not yet but time would tell. Some have said it might replace healthcare professionals- again, time would tell. I have recently used AI to analyse a 30 page contract I'm previewing. The intriguing thing about AI is that the version used today is likely to be the least advanced version one would ever use. All said, I think it'd be a feature to enable us improve productivity as a stop gap for our declining demography. Only downside, is that it can't consume- it may need electricity and a few chips but its not getting groceries, eating out, going to dinner e.t.c. It can't produce the demand capitalism feeds off.


With AI, I'm taking it a step at a time, avoiding the excess hype but being abrest with it.

United States wouldn’t be so enticing if the foundational fathers refuse to make it attractive. Would it ?

And what ordinary Nigerian are spending their entire savings to give birth overseas?

To be clear, I didn’t come here to study I was born here

lavida001:
As the main applicant on a student visa, can I join my wife to apply for tier 2 visa if she happens to be given cos from her job?

Or we should just go ahead and apply for the PSW visa ?

lavida001:
Hello Comrades my wife has her maiden name on her passport and not my surname because I’m the main applicant . Will that affect our visa application outcome/processes? Kindly respond

Goke7:
I always laugh when I see folks from ethnic minority backgrounds speaking against DEI. Since yesterday I've been seeing some of Trump's supporters trying to cherry-pick his policies and I am saying are you kidding me? Dude is an entire package you have to accept wholly, no cherry-picking. You collect wetin you see. The consolation however is that it's just 4 years and all the madness will be over and folks can at least start all over again.

lavida001:
Give me one reason why Nigerian politicians and elite refuse to give birth to their children in Nigeria.

Maybe with this order they will quit being greedy and begin to fix the dilapidated healthcare system in Nigeria or they will find another safe haven that offers citizenship by birth.

Goke7:
Many big organizations already abolishing DEI

Dumbo's executive orders
1. Ending birthright citizenship
2. Leave WHO
3. Leave Paris Agreement
4. Say there are only 2 genders
5. Immediately end all DEI programs
6. End working from home.
7. Pardon insurrectionists

Literally everything he said he would do.

However, us lawyers are hooting with laughter because the EO are riddled with typos and faulty lawyering . Also obviously written with AI.

Seriously he thinks he can stop birthright citizenship with an executive order. Smh

ttmacoy:
Why do you lie like this? And besides he cannot sign a bill without it going through Congress, even in your lie you can't get it right, you meant executive order not bill 😆

Cyberknight:
So now it begins. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Musk gets on with DOGE and the slashing of government expenditure and deployment of tech and AI and all that stuff. The US in this Trump administration, now uber-capitalist, is the most fertile ground for that to happen so we can see how it's done. The DOE will be axed, and apparently thousands of feckless civil servants will be automated away to go find something else to do and save the government money. Keenly interested in how the US manages this if all the promises made are executed as promised because it'll serve as a template of sorts for the rest of us, as we'll be able to see our future.

Interestingly, it was Musk as well, in one of his sober moments, who said something along the lines that the full deployment of AI will doom the human race. I tend to agree with him. When we hear everyone going on about AI and its potential for game changing, the decimation of white collar roles and all that, very few seem to consider the human cost. When everything automatable has been automated, and millions or tens of millions or hundreds of millions or whatever quantum of human beings are thrown out of work, and a percentage of them have managed to retrain in the remaining fields of endeavour that will survive (healthcare, any leftover tradesman roles (humanity will probably soon be living in prefabricated 3D-printed homes at some point) and those attempting to guide and direct AI applications), one wonders what'll happen to the rest of humanity.

For every human being who has the knowledge, opportunity, good fortune, desire and drive to make something exceptional of their situation, there are a million others who will not. Not everyone can retrain, not everyone can pivot to tech, and not everyone can suddenly discover an entrepreneurship gene hitherto buried in their genomes. It's quite likely that huge numbers will be out of work at some point. 1930s levels of unemployment are not unfeasible in the next half of the century. The rich countries will probably fund skilling and training schemes while trying to pay out even more unsustainable levels of benefits and dealing with societal consequences (increased crime and societal breakdown), fertility will fall even lower than it is now in rich countries while Africa and Asia continue to merrily reproduce, leading to more unwanted migration and instability and at some point the governments that can afford to do so, battling with declining tax revenues, will have to put together programs, possibly even up to the level of Great Depression-era type works programs, to give people something to do, ultimately resulting in absolutely no cost savings at all from automation or even increased expenditure. So the world ends up going around in circles for worse outcomes.

The tech bros and the financiers and their fellow travellers will end up ruling the earth ultimately, but I think it will most likely be scorched earth.

Time to grab my popcorn and watch.

Procashtips:
Initiated how?

Like he came up with the bill right?

If yes, how come he didn't sign it only for Biden to do?

Procashtips:
Did he sign it?

How come it was Biden that ended up signing it into bill?

That should give you an idea of how Trump work.

Wether American govt wants to allow it or not, it doesn't stop the growth. Titktok America is just for the American customers.

Anyways, he's getting into the Oval office tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

missjekyll:
Not according to the Bangladeshi government. They made it categorically clear she has never had citizenship of any kind and would be rejected if she applied.

Can't say I blame them. She was born and bred here. Bangladesh owes her nothing.

missjekyll:
Apples and oranges ,just wise. Your article is for dual citizens. Begum did not have dual citizenship. That's why removing her only citizenship breached international law

missjekyll:
I disagree with you too. Removing her citizenship when she had no other citizenship was illegal. The government will lose this case .
They should save taxpayer's money and do the right thing.

When you make this case to the British people, they will understand and support it. They may hate her because of her interview but these are the facts of the case. Ours is a long tradition of upholding international law. We shouldn't break it now

Zahra29:
Facts.

According to latest polls, Reform is already within touching distance of Labour. Not great news for Labour, less than 1 year from the GE. This year's local elections should be interesting. And it appears that the UK is moving into a 3-party system for the first time ever.

If she were Osama's incarnate, I would imagine the safest place to live would be beside her,wouldn't it?

On a more serious note, I believe this case turns on only 1 point...Did we make her stateless by removing her citizenship? Then we must reverse that. It's illegal and will be overturned in the courts.

I gather the UK tried this(making stateless) with an Individual ,E3 in 2017. The homeoffice had to reverse that decision. It's just not right.

As to having to let in everyone else who fought for IS, it doesn't necessarily follow as decisions are on a case-by-case basis.

That he hasn't made any profits from the investment is also what you think and not factual because Twitter didn't report net profit for some years after the acquisition. So you drew conclusions from the information available to you just like I did.

Viruses:
Besides his wealth, his ownership and control of Twitter contributed to him being one of those crowning the most powerful leader on the planet. As a direct result of that, some of his company's shares got to an all time high skyrocketing his wealth to almost half a trillion which is way more than a £44B increase. This is besides the non financial benefits that if we quantify will still surpass that amount.

Where people capture value might not be where we assume value should come from.

Before you tell me that he could still have supported Trump even if he didn't own Twitter, let me remind you that Trump would still have won without this level of his support (yes he has done it before). So let's not undermine any level of support.

Viruses:
You can be right if you say he hasn't made any money directly from Twitter, but to say he hasn't made profit from the $44B investment is laughable. That guy has made more than $44B not from Twitter but as a result of his ownership of Twitter

lol, I'm an accountant. Giving financial education is my job.
Interest rates and credit risk means the house you were sold 1 million cad would end up costing you over 1.3 million cad when paying instalments.
How do you think banks make their money!
The only time I suggest credit is credit cards. The interest rate is low and the soft loan comes in handy and increases your credit score once you pay. But if you can afford to pay outright, always choose that option, chances are you are getting it cheaper

Bede2u:
because it's still better than renting but worse than outright purchase
