11·1 day agoNuclear is actually one of the safest forms of power, with the corollary that competency is the norm in the industry. I spent years in the Naval Nuclear program and they have not had an uncontrolled release of radioactive contamination to the public in the 80 year history of the program.
Three Mile Island killed nobody, and the reactor they are restarting had been operating up until 2015.
While I am less than pleased that it’s basically all going to Microdick’s AI centers, it’s important not to lump nuclear power in by guilt by association.

I think nursing homes are going to have to function differently in the coming years to accommodate this, and it’s not going to be easy. Breaking apart the current health"care" bureaucracy will free up a lot of medical staff to practice actual medicine rather than just push insurance paperwork, but the lack of people overall will require leveraging of technology to fill the gap. Technology that is currently being used to burn up our aging infrastructure for the benefit of the Epstein class.
The next few years are going to be filled with grueling work just to ensure we don’t have collapse of social order.

81·6 days agoI agree with your point with the corollary that if they make that choice, they had better not come knocking on my door if they run into trouble.
