  4. @ProfD your 100% correct:) haha
  5. I tried to do better, and made the following. I am no synthographer. I prefer using pencil/inker over here is the prompt , same conditions as before German Tapestry depicting a city on fire and five black women sipping coffee on the top of a skyscraper
  6. Afua Richardson [ https://www.afuarichardson.com/?v=692e8df1db82 ] asked about the second image the following is my reply Afua Richardson I will answer your question at the end of this post:) :)... I can't say for exact certain BUT I did search the image to see if it was made by someone. it was a black artist named nikki free , she didn't say what synthography tool she used or is if she did all the work, [ https://www.instagram.com/iamnikkifree/p/DCrR5lERF0E/ ; https://nikkifreestyle.com/shop/p/the-92-by-nikkifree-canvas-print ] , it is on her website, she admitted she made it with ai and referred to the art that inspired her [ https://www.instagram.com/navirobins/p/DDIrTnxOG3X/ ] I don't know if that is oil panting. Navirobins doesn't state exactly his mediums. I looked at his website, so I don't know if it's oil. I want to say acrylic. and maybe oil too. In defense i see his book covers, so he definitely knows how to digitally adjust [ https://www.navirobins.net/blank-6 ] Now, to that end, all synthography uses references. that is how text turns into illustration. right? I am also a computer scientist so I can go on about how the computer programs commonly called ai works. but the point being, whatever synthography system she used , it had to use references to grow the ability to generate more efficient content and more than likely had human art illegally provided to it to train by openai or whomever. 🙂 Now I have it in my newsletter because elsewhere in the world wide web, a digital artist, , the image of a black wonderwoman sipping coffee inspired me to research this genre [ https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11316-black-women-comfortable-while-the-usa-burn-art-bwcwtub/ ] and that is how i found nikkifree's work. So to answer your question, this was inspired by the oil painting, it wasn't a rip off. She saw a design and asked the computer to make one based on her own elements. Yes, the computer quality is based on algorithms manipulated by data that is stolen artwork. But, when someone used ai it is inspiration not a ripoff. For example, I will use a tool called Dreamup to explain. I used the following prompt , one time. German Tapestry depicting five black women sipping coffee on the top of a skyscraper while the city below is on fire artstyle dreamup aspect ratio 4:3 prompt strength 7 negative prompt no and it returned the image below. I am 100% certain all the european tapestries have been fed to the computers at openai and xai and elsewhere. And I did this just to show you how one can be inpsired and this is without the work synthographers do which is , make many touchups.
  7. @ProfD No it is possible for the incoming president to not spend the money, or spend the money in another way, this is why biden is spending the money. That was the whole point of the fiat currency started in the 1970s. Money backed by gold can not be adjusted as easily as money backed by military power. ala what you said So your correct profd in the ability of the usa to keep gaining debt based on military power keeps its negative financial transactions allowable, but this is the economic corner Regardless of the ability of the usa to maintain a negative financial situation, and it will not be the last human empire to do so, it is a negative financial situation. Again, the financial inefficiency of government policies that extend beyond confirmed tenure is massive.
  8. A writer for the Home Box Office show The Watchman said he didn't comprehend why writers write stories assuming another season. That truth can be applied to many government officials. From Eric Adams city of yes, to Nancy Pelosi's affordable care act elected officials in modernity love policies that extend beyond their time in office. The fiscal question of value to the economic corner, is the financial wisdom in policy that assumes government officials in the future will support the policy as intended or at all. I argue policy with fiscal actions beyond a time of office is one hundred percent financially inappropriate. Why? it is a financial gamble. And gambling is never the best financial strategy. The proof is, all the actions Biden is taking to use up money or place money for certain projects in the bureaucracy may not work. ARTICLE The last actions the Biden administration will take before Trump takes over the White House By FATIMA HUSSEIN, MATTHEW DALY and COLLIN BINKLEY Updated 5:24 AM EST, November 15, 2024 WASHINGTON (AP) — Biden administration officials are working against the clock doling out billions in grants and taking other steps to try to preserve at least some of the outgoing president’s legacy before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. “Let’s make every day count,” President Joe Biden said in an address to the nation last week after Vice President Kamala Harris conceded defeat to Trump in the presidential race. Trump has pledged to rescind unspent funds in Biden’s landmark climate and health care law and stop clean-energy development projects. “There’s only one administration at a time,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told reporters at a news conference Thursday. “That’s true now, and it will also be true after January 20th. Our responsibility is to make good use of the funds that Congress has authorized for us and that we’re responsible for assigning and disbursing throughout the last three years.” But Trump will control more than the purse strings come January. His administration also can propose new regulations to undo some of what the Biden administration did through the rule-making process. Here are some of the moves the Biden administration is taking now: Getting infrastructure spending out the door Biden administration officials hope that projects funded under the $1 trillion infrastructure law and $375 billion climate law will endure beyond Biden’s term and are working to ensure that money from the landmark measures continues to flow. On Friday, Buttigieg announced over $3.4 billion in grants for projects designed to improve passenger rail service, help U.S. ports, reduce highway deaths and support domestic manufacturing of sustainable transportation materials. ”We are investing in better transportation systems that touch every corner of the country and in the workers who will manufacture materials and build projects,″ he said. “Communities are going to see safer commutes, cleaner air and stronger supply chains that we all count on.″ Speeding up environmental goals Announcements of major environmental grants and project approvals have sped up in recent months in what White House officials describe as “sprinting to the finish” of Biden’s four-year term. The Environmental Protection Agency recently set a nationwide deadline for removal of lead pipes and announced nearly $3 billion to help local water systems comply. The agency also announced that oil and gas companies for the first time will have to pay a federal fee if they emit dangerous methane above certain levels. The Energy Department, meanwhile, announced a $544 million loan to a Michigan company to expand manufacturing of high-quality silicon carbide wafers for electric vehicles. The loan is one of 28 deals totaling $37 billion granted under a clean-energy loan program that was revived and expanded under Biden. “There is a new urgency to get it all done. We’re seeing explosions of money going out the door,” said Melinda Pierce, legislative director of the Sierra Club. Biden and his allies ”really want to finish the job they started.” Ukraine aid Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters this week that Biden wants to “spend down the authority that Congress has allocated and authorized before he leaves office. So we’re going to work very hard to make sure that happens.” The Biden administration would have to rush $7.1 billion in weapons — $4.3 billion from the 2024 supplemental and $2.8 billion that is still on the books in savings due to the Pentagon recalculating the value of systems sent — from the Pentagon’s stockpiles in order to spend all of those funds obligated before Trump is sworn in. There’s also another $2.2 billion available to put weapons systems on long-term contracts. However, recent aid packages have been much smaller in size, around $200 million to $300 million each. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has said the funds are already obligated, which should make them harder to take back because the incoming administration would have to reverse that. Pressure to quickly confirm judicial picks Another priority for the White House is getting Senate confirmation of as many federal judges as possible before Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. The Senate this week voted 51-44 to confirm former prosecutor April Perry as a U.S. District Court judge in northern Illinois. More than a dozen pending judicial nominees have advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee; eight judicial nominations are awaiting committee votes and six are waiting for committee hearings. Trump has urged Republicans to oppose efforts to confirm judicial nominees. “No Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership,” he wrote on social media site X on Nov. 10, before congressional Republicans chose their new leaders. Student loan forgiveness The Education Department has been hurrying to finalize a new federal rule that would cancel student loans for people who face financial hardship. The proposal — one of Biden’s only student loan plans that hasn’t been halted by federal courts — is in a public comment period scheduled to end Dec. 2. After that, the department would have a narrow window to finalize the rule and begin carrying it out, a process that usually takes months. Like Biden’s other efforts, it would almost certainly face a legal challenge. Additionally, the Biden administration has room to speed up student loan cancellation for people who were already promised relief because they were cheated by their colleges, said Aaron Ament, an Education Department official for the Obama administration and president of the National Student Legal Defense Network. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona could decide that case and others rather than hand them off to the Trump administration, which is expected to be far friendlier to for-profit colleges. “It’s a no-brainer,” Ament said. “There’s a good number of cases that have been sitting on Cardona’s desk. It’s hard to imagine that those would just be left untouched.” Trump has not yet said what he would do on student loan forgiveness. However, he and Republicans have criticized Biden’s efforts. https://apnews.com/article/elections-trump-transition-biden-tax-spending-2c27fb2239640fdb667f274215b712fa Prior Episode Economic Corner 2

  13. Steven Zhang was the president of a football club called Inter Milan. What he did matters for one reason. His situation exposes the low quality of ownership in humanity. A set of sport steams signed a contract to make their own league, it has alot of precedent. But only one club made sure it had a provisional clause to exit the contract upon conditions unfavorable to the club. The question heading this post is the key, please answer in comments. Josep Bartomeu- the now legally fallen former president of FC Barcelona for his financial activities. Andrea Agnelli the now excommunicado former president of Juventus because he signed said contract in my view. The glazers, inheritors of first allied, who own Manchester United, the Red sox owners who own Liverpool, stan kroenke married to a walton who own Arsenal, United Arab Emirates royals who own manchester city, Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid is an gambler. The russian Roman Abramovic the owed owner of chelsea, he was owed over a billion by the firm he created. A various set of owners accepted a contract that bound their firms to an action absent any provisions to exit. People will speak f greed but Zhang signed it to. Isn't Zhang as greedy, but what does greed have to do with positive fiscal quality actions. I say nothing Zhang didn't want to risk money. The articles below state the simple truth , the sponsors to the clubs were not told of the contract, and the breach of contract with the sponsors is imminent. And all but one president was smart enough to protect his firm while being greedy. Like the NBA who didn't make a provision for streaming for assessing a bidder and thus allowed discovery channel to sue them for absent streaming they could bid equally to am*zon I think, the soccer clubs presidents minus one have acted terribly as fiscal operators with teams of lawyers. I really wonder the management of many very wealthy sporting organizations. Many poor people suggest the rich are genius or collected with extreme organization, but these events prove otherwise. Zhang demanded a clause say if any sponsor of Inter Milan disagree to the deal , Inter Milan can exit with no penalty. No one can defend financial dysfunction like signing a contract that you can't get out. That is like black people who couldn't read contracts with whites in the usa. immediately after the war between the states. Zhang showed Greed but how can greed lead you to risk your own money. I thought greed meant you wanted more wealth but didn't want to lose wealth. So the financial league will have to exist at some point between the clubs involved as they signed the contract , one hundred and twenty pages absent a clause for them to get out. And comprehend some of these clubs vote for their president. So Real MAdrid or FC Barcelona if a president doesn't want it or ask the fans to vote to stay in the financial league, it is null and void because of former presidents binding the club forever into this agreement. The clubs who are owed by usa folk or just fiscally wealthy people that didn't have a clause seem willing to risk their clubs. For if the sponsors sue for breach of contract... it can be the death of the clubs who signed. The clubs like Bayern Munich owned by Qatari ultra billionaires plus Bayern Munich owed in the german system, said no cause neither of them were willing to sing the fate of their clubs absent a positive environment. And when the financial league became public the environment went very negative. Fans all over europe rioted or marched against the clubs . Other clubs like West Ham in England spoke against them. Sponsors to clubs or leagues publicly spoke against. But none of the signers outside one could leave cause their owners//presidents wealthy people were ignorant/stupid/inefficient/self harming/ or similar and didn't make a clause or clauses to their own protection to save their money. THESE ARTICLES or FRAGMENTS CITE MY POINT Why Inter are the only team that formally quit the Super League ByLorenzo Bettoni Mar 4, 2022 13:39 Inter have officially abandoned the Super League project thanks to a clause included in their contract with the organizers of the breakaway competition. The Nerazzurri were part of the 12 elite European clubs that announced the Super League less than a year ago. It collapsed within 48 hours with Premier League giants quitting the project, followed by Inter, Milan and Atletico Madrid. Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still involved and the Old Lady’s President Andrea Agnelli insisted yesterday that the Super League ‘did not fail.’ However, he added that the contracts signed one year ago are still valid for 11 of those 12 clubs. “UEFA knew that I as Juventus president was working on something different,” said Agnelli. “The Super League is a collective work of 12 teams, not one person. Twelve clubs signed a 120-page contract and it is still binding for 11 of those clubs.” According to COPE, Inter are the only team that has formally managed to quit the competition. The Serie A champions had a clause that allowed them to pull away from the project if it didn’t gain the support of all of their sponsors. https://football-italia.net/inter-quit-super-league-thanks-to-contract-clause/ … Fans are opposed to the new league, and aren’t interested in watching it Our snap poll shows just how strongly fans feel, with nearly eight in ten (79%) of those who follow football opposed to the new league, including over two thirds (68%) who “strongly oppose” the ESL’s creation. Opposition is highest among fans of the left-behind Premier League teams, with 88% of those following a team outside the big six opposed to the European Super League, compared to 76% of fans of the big six themselves. Only 14% of football fans are in favour of the new league. Even among fans of the big six set to be part of the ESL, fewer than a fifth (19%) support of its creation. As well as being opposed to the new league’s creation, only a fifth of those who follow football (21%) expressed an interest in watching ESL matches when the season begins. While some three in ten supporters of the English sides taking part (31%) are interested in watching, two thirds (68%) are not. Among fans of Premier League teams outside the big six, interest is even lower, with only 13% interested in watching compared to eight in ten (83%) who are not interested in tuning in. In fact, three quarters of fans (76%) would rather their team not join the European Super League, including a similar proportion of those who support one of the big six clubs acting as founding members (74%). Chairman of the European Super League, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has said the new competition would “help football at every level” and their “responsibility as big clubs is to respond to [fan’s] desires”. However, fans don’t see the creation of the European Super League as being either motivated by what fans want to see, nor as good for lower level clubs. The vast majority of football followers think that the 12 founding clubs have been motivated more by financial gain (89%), with just 3% thinking that the creation of the European Super League is being driven more by fan’s desires, while some 5% think both motivations have played a part. … https://yougov.co.uk/sport/articles/35361-snap-poll-football-fans-overwhelmingly-reject-euro All six English football clubs that joined the European Super League have failed to formally leave it, amid claims by organisers that the competition will “eventually relaunch in modified form”. The so-called big six stated that they were withdrawing from the ESL after its launch backfired in April. However, the clubs — Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea — remain co-owners and shareholders of a holding company in Spain with clubs from Spain, France and Italy. Several of the clubs acknowledged yesterday they were still part of the European Super League Company but said they were determined to leave. Yet two senior sources close to the venture claim there is “no mechanism” for them to withdraw, and that the league is waiting to be relaunched in modified form. They said all 12 of the original breakaway clubs had to agree unanimously to dissolve the entity and that any club leaving unilaterally faced unlimited fines. Organisers believe the owners of the clubs accept that the football world faces a financial crisis exacerbated by Covid-19 and that in due course they will relaunch a compromise version of the Super League. “The owners know this is not the end — it’s just the beginning,” a senior source said. “We will resume dialogue, whether this year or next year. It’s just financial gravity. Football can’t survive in its current form.” Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, has said the 12 clubs that joined the league have “binding contracts”. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have not abandoned it. Arsenal said: “We have been absolutely clear we are withdrawing from the ESL. This is subject to a legal process which is under way.” Manchester United said: “The club has no intention to revisit the Super League concept. Any suggestion otherwise is simply an attempt to mislead our fans.” When the ESL plan was rushed out at the end of April, the government threatened legislation to block it. After an intense backlash from fans and the media, nine clubs — the six English sides, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Athletico Madrid — dropped out, leaving Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus. The three clubs have said they are within their rights to form a new competition, as a result of which they would withdraw from the Uefa-run Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. Uefa and Fifa, the European and world governing bodies, united in opposition to the Super League, saying that the participating teams would be banned from their domestic leagues and their players from international competition. Super League representatives believe that Uefa and Fifa are breaching EU competition laws by preventing the clubs from breaking away. A case has been filed with the European Court of Justice with the aim of establishing whether the two governing bodies do indeed have the exclusive right to organise competitions. The hearing could take up to two years. A source close to the Super League said: “It’s our belief we will win that case based on precedent in other sports and it will pave the way for the Super League to eventually relaunch in a modified form.” https://www.thetimes.com/article/football-super-league-is-not-dead-just-resting-gbrp00dpv Economic Corner 001
  14. @frankster yeah, i know the video has replaced the book:) I just have to try and figure out how to relate to that truth as an artist thank you, answer any time and you can message me you helped alot, You have made me comprehend where my outlook was wrong in the first place with the challenge. I have a greater idea how to grow the adult group my pleasure, and follow back on aalbc:)
  15. @Pioneer1 I asked the questions, he comprehended and answered them all. He wouldn't have answered if I had not asked so... @Troy I am glad frankster comprehended my questions and answered
  16. @Pioneer1 In terms of presidents , from washington you are correct. Washington even though many others wanted to crown him, he would not had been an all powerful king. The other, founding fathers were not without power, but from Washington you see a simple truth, white power in the usa isn't one, it has factions, and presidents tend to be part of one but not part of all and opposing factions sometimes utilize murder if need be. Lincoln/Harrison/FDR/Kennedy deaths all show an opposing factions interest. Lincoln had an opposing faction in the confederate slavers whom we will never know if lincoln was going to pardon, but his vice president did. But the confederate slavers weren't the only rich in the usa. The northern churches who at the time of lincoln were very rich or powerful i think wanted an expansion of reconstruction , not to help blacks but to gain religious membersand expand their influence against the southern churches. And Lincoln's vice president while a republican by his prose in the war was another camp. Lincoln himself had to pick his vice president as lincoln was an unknown, he didn't have the influence to pick a yes man as his vice president. Harrison snubbed Conklin who was a very powerful man, and he was murdered. I can see Conklin's influence in Harrison's murder but the wealthy people outside the north east supported harrison who trie dto pull away hard from conklin. FDR conveniently got ill and died before his fourth term but the military and various wealthy people didn't like his prominence and freedom as a president in afourth term so I can see their influence in his death. But, certain banks/industries had more to gain with his arrival, especially in the northeast. I argue the northeastern wealthy was the faction defeated by the southern and western who were fearful fdr, former govenror of nyc, would litter the government in peacetime with so many midatlantic folk that the government would seem extended from the midatlantic and new england. Kennedy again, his position with war, with proof I learned recently, was against the military expansion the military wanted, the arms dealers and three letter organizations wanted. But kennedy had support again from new england/midatlantic, the colleges, the catholic church who is very powerful. Do you see my point? White power isn't a cohesive comprehensive human collective, it is a internally warring body of factions that wage war in all ways and sometimes use violence and succeed with violence. When you look at Carter/Bush jr / Obama factions had a role to play in events in their presidency. Iran held cia operatives until the presidency ended. The faction supporting Reagan clearly was behind that. But Carter had wealthy support. To this day no president has implemented more advanced tech than carter. Industrialist in the usa liked him, that faction supported him but the military faction hated carter, he was looking to build houses not destroy homes, so they worked hard to get him out and get the war monger reagan in who also supported weaking domestic industry in the usa, which aided the banks. Bush had those in government who told him not to save the banks. But Bush did it. Other factions of white ower were hoping the banking industry collapsed but Bush made a huge policy choice that has shaped the usa ever since. By saving the banks and not demanding they change comprehensively, his choice has created the modern financial landmines in humanity really. Obama again, i argue betrayed his own faction as i learned he was opposed to signing the affordable care act and it had other detractors in his government but he made a policy choice, a huge one, that to be blunt ,manipulated the life of everyone in the usa. My point is presidents of the usa from washington to the last, are members or align with factions of power. But the power at the top isn't a peaceful congruent set of factions, it is a set of warring factions, that sometimes commit murder. And in the war between the factions presidents policy as bush jr/obama/kennedy prove in their implementation or absence can have huge, huge ramifications, not little things, as some suggest. To rephrase, Kennedy wasn't dancing with the man, he was dancing with a man but a man he wasn't dancing with killed him.
  17. @ProfD we will see about the future of DOGE . I honestly think finance is ripe for a age of uncertainty that will shake things, to what end, i don't know. hhahayes:) At this point I have to ask, what is it you see that I don't concerning Elon Musk?
  18. @ProfD at the presidents privy businessmen you mean everyone:) I love how you said these businessmen use the government to enrich themselves as do the generals in the joints chiefs as do all the elected officials as do all the people in appointed positions:) these businessman aren't alone in enriching themselves in the empires bounties. well, yeah and so do all the other billionaires:) musk is not alone you know:) At this point I have to ask, what is it you see that don't concerning musk?
  19. @ProfD even enough , time will tell whether your assessment or mine is correct
  20. If anyone reads my comment, comprehend the Office of the presidency has a subdivision called the office of management and budget, or something like that. Their job is to do the financial and legal research and implement the structure of the bills based on the agenda of presidents. The usa is an empire , like any empire, it has a government bureaucracy that is too big for one person to manage alone. But the policies the act to the people are of the president of the usa, whomever they are. No president is a figure head, or king, or lone operator in the usa government.
  21. @ProfD well by musk own public statements Scrumpft's choices for various positions in the federal government were not musk's choices so... And anyway, a man named Conklin of New york State, very rich or powerful, some argued the most powerful man in the usa at that time , once felt he had a president at the hip ,that he could do similar to president harrison and it didn't go to plan, if you know your history of the usa.
  22. @frankster bless you:) thanks for answering all the questions. Your favorite black stripper? well said What do you think about a heather hunter or sahara art? I actually know of heather hunter, she was a soul train dancer, and don cornelius allowed it until the network said no. these sound like great stories make sure you write them down for your children DO you or your wife have a favorite erotica literature by a black writer? and if not, what would either of you be interested in reading. I want to know from both of you. Please type her answer. It is important to me as a writer. You may know the following black artist work, but I am connected to them on deviantart , i think these all provide great examples of erotic black fantasy. Tell me what your significant other thinks too. https://www.deviantart.com/kiratheartist/art/Little-Friend-1113175550 https://www.deviantart.com/dualmask/art/Scan-20241029-1115834858 https://www.deviantart.com/ngart7/art/Illustration-1068449271 and connect back to me on AALBC please, thank you again for this comment, thank you for the time answering all these questions and the help, thank you
  23. @Pioneer1 the exact wording I used matters:) I never said i never saw a fight:) hahaha I said the daily gun violence/everybody had a cousin shot/drugs sold everywhere on the street/ no place is clean/ the woe is us local black community which is seems manyy or most of the black populace in the usa suggest they were raised in, i wasn't while still deep in nyc. I saw street violence, i saw the police drag black people, club black people. I saw that. I can accept that some black people in the usa were raised in sections of the black populace that were negatively chaotic in myriad of ways, but I still think that is a minority of black people who actually lived like that while a majority of black people like to say they had a similar situation when discussing the black populace, while in truth they didn't. They had a normal local environment like the average white but like to exxagerate.
  24. @ProfD So by your own words, Musk didn't act strategically when he was a cofounder of openai as he had to leave it when he didn't get his way. The strategic thing would had been to start xai from the beginning not invest in openaii and buy twitter to leverage the data needs of xai. I don't know if he has to , but he is. This is financial fact. And no one lets anyone borrow and borrow absent results. Recently a billion dollar firm has to file for bankruptcy because it will get no more loans and has huge debts from failed use of money from prior loans. Musk is paying back the loans but he will not get them if he fails repeatedly.
  25. @Troy exactly, porn was the fiscal backbone of the world wide web in the internet. yes i do and I comprehended completely. I do have groups elsewhere and i have to remove content for both reasons, algorithms + people statse. I recall I fully comprehended. No, in my artistic journey I have seen much:) but when it comes to online activity the reality is, as always, the creative side the commercial. The creative is beyond infinity in volume. But the commercial is limited in volume. No one can be prude in a creative way because what you like creatively is always a matter of taste. No one's taste is excessive, it is merely the truth. And as for the commercial, the goal is to make money, and online money has two currencies, dollars and followers/viewers. To the dollars, if the algorithms that showcase content lead advertisers to support based on more porn all websites would welcome more porn . To followers/viewers every website has to know their membership/viewership and you do and they don't want. No excessive manners in any way. @Pioneer1 be careful and catch them quick , bitten in fruit spoils quicker
