Big tech supported him massively in 2024, for his views on regulation and bribery.

There's no downside to accepting PAC money or bribes, except as we saw Tuesday. It got radioactive.

Downside showed up.

Average people ALWAYS pay the price, and the price of environmental damage, electric rates, water diversion and so on have no compensation. People can't just shop online for breathable air, silence, cheap electricity and water.

No upside for the average person. And for them, AI is a cute toy. Ask them what it's worth in real dollars, better spent on food and fuel now at enormous prices.
