HB2002-B passes the House.  Figures.  And Oregon still wants people to come to work.  Why would they?  That's why Multnomah County has to raise taxes.  How else will they get money?  But raising taxes in Oregon will only go so far when 44% can barely pay the bills.

What will singers do?  Paul McCartney released I Don't Know in 2018.  As you can hear, his voice was already showing its age. 

So someone used A.I. to substitute his voice with that of a much younger Paul McCartney, and it does sound much better.

But photographers are having their content used without compensation for A.I. model training, and they're not getting the authorities to do anything about it.  This is probably some of the stuff Geoffrey Hinton was concerned about.

Yeah, many people still there's a lot of risk in banks, even though FRC got bought by JP Morgan.  There's still $620 billion in unrealized losses that banks carry, and yet Jerome Powell is expected to raise interest rates again by 25 basis points.  How many more bank failures can be rescued?  JP Morgan can only do so much.  Fed discount window usage is surging, so how about those efforts to control inflation?  And Biden is encouraging irresponsible mortgages by rewarding those who have poor credit scores with loans?

 

This may be just an East Coast big city problem, but it's a sign of further lawlessness in America.  Using fake license plates is prevalent.  At least in Oregon, we have an excuse that the DMV was closed and they're so backlogged.  But the stuff that's going back in the East is just deliberate lawlessness.  More societal breakdown under Democrat rule.
