Sure, but guardrails won't solve the core issue, just kick the can down the road..maybe

Making it illegal to be homeless doesn't solve homelessness it just moves the problem elsewhere.

Do you remember when you had to have actual revenue planned when asking for business loan?

Can't wait to see data centers get bombed more because of stupid wars, abandoned and left to rot when the next tech turn means that they're too expensive to upgrade, or when regular people whose water is stolen, polluted or diverted, decide to just Molotov cocktail the fuckin' things.

As was pointed out recently in a few places, data centers are full of expensive (and easily sellable) material.
i think someone said something about the SFP dongles specifically being super valuable for their size.

They aren't yet fully protected by the robot killing machines.
So, purely hypothetically , now would be the easiest time to obtain some of those portable, easily sellable parts.

I do, but that's a difference in type, that's only ever been required for loans to the poors.
The "loans" involved here are just a way of avoiding tax on a systemic scale, something not available to the regular masses.
Also, in the case of the NVIDIA/GPU fuckery, to lock up the resources as a way of controlling the availability and therefore "value".
