Lactose for me. No more cheese or ice cream or it's also back to 6/day. Luckily there is medicine for the occasional treat.

Then twins walk into the airport and the system crashes.

And facial recognition has been known to fail with very dark skin so that'll turn into a racial issue real quick.

Amazon of the "just walk out" shops powered by AI, that turned out to be s lot of Indian workers in the background.

We see that the system of checks and balances is more of a theatre that only appeared to be working

Seems it was rather based on a gentlemen's agreement, which is fine as long as gentlemen get in power, or at least someone believing in the rules of the game. As soon as someone gets behind the controls who clearly dislikes the rules, that's a huge issue.

¨Sir, you are scaring the banks, and if banks get scared they kill presidents. They hire professionals, not some kid on a roof.¨

We know what contributes a lot to developing autism. It's pollution, more specifically small particle matter found in for example car exhaust. The same cars for which they're now killing the environmental regulations.

Popular media doesn't really investigate other ways of organizing society. It's always the standard job, shop and money with only rare exceptions. It just swaps dollars with credits, uses hovercars instead of normal cars and calls it a day. Hell, they were shoveling coal into a reactor in Rebel Moon to power their space ship. I don't expect that much from entertainment and can live with the black mirror doom porn. Maybe I give writing my own stuff another try, but I'm not a good writer.

Honestly I'm with black mirror. These days when a new tech appears, the mind immediately wonders how this will be abused it obstructed by other parties. That's not the show's fault but of what keeps happening in real life.

Black Mirrors shows the future, extrapolated from current systems and events. It's not about new paradigms that might be possible.

It makes him feel like the big boss, without any rules or opposition.

These tariffs are used as a political whip, snapped loudly in front of the opponent's faces, trying to scare everyone in behaving.
