Your presence, perspective & willingness to engage with all of us makes it worthwhile.🤗 Again, both you @aka Contrarian & @Pioneer1 add another layer of value to the forum. 😁😎

Whoever came up with the new call-in system *thought* it would mske the process more efficient. Funny thing is as the workforce turns over, newer employees will be proficient because they'll have to learn how to use it from day 1. Money is usually the biggest obstacle to having & running a successful business. They hire smarter people to help run the business if they can afford them. POTUS OJ is an excdllent example of a relatively unintelligent person stealing, er, generating billions of dollars. A huge chunk of Black wealth passes through churches & gets spent on gross-consumerism. 😎

Right. Smoke & mirrors to keep the people in check. Right again. Social services don't generate enough money for the wealthy & powerful shareholders.😎

The l8te great Dick Gregory was a brilliant comedian. He said a lot. Some of it was for effect. 😎

The US/Iran/Israel have reached a 2-week cease-fire after POTUS OJ threatened to blown Iran back to the Stone Age. There's a 10-point program that includes Iran getting $2 million dollar per ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The game of geopolitics where real human beings die while rich people make more money is ridiculous. 😎

As @Troy mentioned...it's great that you're taking AI for a spin. @aka Contrarian...in your use case, AI is an excellent tool. It's not putting a human being out of work. Enjoy.😎

Looks like you deleted the thread What is Wrong with Her? or or Where Is She? or something to that effect.😎

I find it amazing that Jayden was able to play basketball for all these years before his *mental illness* became a liability. Kinda similar to Kanye West.😁😎

Michigan put in a solid performance in taking down UCONN last night. Wolverines derailed any thoughts of a 3-time championship for the Huskies same team. Great championship win for the Wolverines who didn't even make the NCAA tournament a season or so ago. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/nba-star-jaden-ivey-wife-140859538.html The bigger news for the Chicago Bulls a month ago was cutting their star player over anti-gay comments he made. Former Bulls player Jayden Ivey says God led him to express his sentiment. No worries...Jayden Ivey is still rich regardless of whether he lands on another team or not. It remans to be seen whether or not Jayden's white wife will stick around & stand by him or leave & take 1/2 of his bag.😎

I don't believe brotha @Pioneer1 has been defeated. 🤣 Every now & then, it seems he'll delete a thread. Not sure of the rationale behind it. After being stirred up, I'd imagine he'll let us know.😁😎

Would be hilarious if the remote facility is a UFO.🤣 POTUS OJ is a master of defection. Anything to divert attention await from his BS.😎

White women understand patriarchy. Cabinet level positions are At Will. POTUS OJ holds the cards. She does look like a 60-year old woman even behind the make-up. Regardless, don't feel sorry for the former AG. She's already rich too.😎

Many Black folks have decided to make lemonade outta any lemons life brings. Those individuals find a comfortable place under the system of racism white supremacy & make it work.😎

Demanding opportunities i.e. asking for a job can enrich some people. IMO, creating opportunities generates wealth which is money that extends beyond a couple of generations. Black people as a group have amassed wealth over several decades. The next is figuring out how to make it grow exponentially.😎

Iran never had an advantage nor stood a chance in this conflict. This is something the US & Israel have been wanting to do for a long time. POTUS OJ has nothing to lose in his 2nd term & everything to gain especially from oil-rich countries. Follow the money.😎

Taking & controlling other country's oil is another power move. Could put a dent in that debt in a decade or so. 😎

A US F-15 went down in Iran several days. Two pilots ejected from the plane. One of the pilots was rescued almost right away. The other pilot was rescued today by US Special Forces. This morning, POTUS OJ posted "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up on one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!! Open the F8ckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell-JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." Of course white folks are over themselves between the show of military strength & POTUS OJ's tough guy posts. It's funny that Iranians are taking down multimillion dollar weapons with drones & missiles that cost a few thousand dollars.🤣 The US government claims $1 billion dolllars per day on the conflict with Iran. As a result, it's asking for $200 billion on top of increasing the Pentagon budget to $1.5 trillion dollars.😎

I don't believe tenacity is the ultimate key to success but it certainly is a strong prerequisite. A number of other things factor into the equation as welll...networking, opportunities, luck, etc. No doubt if an individual is tenacious in multiple aspects of playing the game they will find some measure of success.😎

Right. The Wolverines put it on the Wildcats from the opening whistle & never let up. Dominant performance. I believe Michigan will be national champions on Monday night. 😎

The operative word is *they* which is *who* is controlling the games. It's more than being smart &/or intelligent. *They* who aren't necessarily smart &/or intelligent use them to create & control the games the masses are forced to play. There are people who are neither smart nor intelligent when overcome the obstacles. Those individuals work harder. Not necessarily. Some people put in more physical labor to succeed. There are plenty smart, intelligent, quick-witted people who are more broke than a bag of glass because they never figured out how to play the game. They will offer both Universal Healthcare (UHC) & Universal Basic Income (UBI). That alone doesn't guarantee success as mentioned above. Not necessarily. They have to work even harder for those who control the game. The average person who works hard is rewarded with just enough crumbs to survive & then they die.😁 The cycle has been ongoing for centuries. Technology makes the game look different but it's the same. Especially from the vantage point of those who create & control it.😎

The short answer is no....society isn't becoming more complex. Human beings are the same creature they've been for thousands of years. Making it in a society is all about knowing how to play the *games* that people create to control the masses. The biggest *problem* most people have is being too lazy to play the game &/or waiting for someone else to make it easier. Kinda similar to the school kid or either copied other's work &/or cheated. Too lazy to put in their own work. Many adults never grown out of being lazy either mentally or physically. AI is going to put a whole lotta people outta work especially if they aren't good with their hands. The USA wil have to come up with a Universal Basic Income (UBI) to provide a stipend for people to survive meeting their basic needs. However, there will always be people who are willing to do just enough to have more than everybody else. it's really just a matter of knowing how to play the game which includes being able to pivot if/when necessary.😎

Right. The USA can *afford* to spend money on everything it wants. In fact, Americans could get a livable stipend every month & never have to *work* a job. The US economic system is built on a house of cards. Technically, the USA doesn't have the money they are printing. The $37 trillion dollar deficit is the equivalent of extending the limit on a credit card or extending a loan that never gets paid in full. Power & greed & having the most powerful military on the planet makes it easier to spend money that doesn't really exist if someone ever called in the markers. It's an economic game where rich & powerful people pick & choose who wins & loses.😎

Nope. He's Cablinasian.🤣 Correct. They have been doing this for decades & many Black athletes & entertainers fall for it every time. Whenever Black athletes get a contract they broadcast how much he's getting all over the media. OTOH, they're often hush about how much a white athlete is getting unless he's a high profile & optically the double-standard would be too obvious. I don't believe it's a sign of low intelligence 😁 among Black folks but it's sheer stupidity to let these white folks set them up for a banana in the tailpipe. Yet, too many Black athletes & entertainers fall for the *trick* like Charlie Brown & Lucy with that gotd8mn football.😎

Looks like white folks stole something else from Africans & created the National Football League.🤣😎

Right. When Tiger went through those changes with his 1st wife, he let white folks convince him to go to rehab for s8x addiction. Cheating on his wife with Hooters waitresses wasn't a sign of addiction. Clearly, Tiger enjoyed the wings there.🤣 Nonetheless, playing that game worked out for Tiger even though he had to give up $500 million in divorce settlement. For a minute, Tiger was able to get back to playing golf &whe won a major tournament. Didn't replace that whole bag but it put seveal million back in his account. At this point in his golf career, it's less about Tiger winning major torunamemts & more about him being an ambassador of the sport. People have short attention spans. If the media doesn't keep talking about Tiger's issues, he'll get back to promoting golf as a living legend.😎
