Would it be possible for this public official to consistently vote for school funding overrides of Proposition 2½? How about a senator who receives more than half of his political campaign contributions from the NRA (National Rifle Association). What would this lawmaker’s voting pattern be on gun control measures if elected or retained in office? Now consider these harsh realities. In 2021, Pfizer’s political action committee contributed to 228 lawmakers in Congress. Amgen’s PAC…

“The hand mill gives you society with the feudal lord; the steam mill society with the industrial capitalist,” Karl Marx once said. And he was right. We have seen time and again throughout history how technological inventions determine the dominant mode of production and with it the type of ‘political authority present in a society. So what will artificial intelligence give us? Who will take advantage of this new technology, which is not only becoming a dominant productive force in our societies (just as the hand mill and the steam mill once were), but, as we keep reading in the…
