The elections are upon us. But what do we think will be different between candidates? Major economic problems are the biggest focus right now and that will be the same with any president. Either way, their ability to govern could be hampered by the house/senate. You might think some of your candidate's policies are great, but I can assure you that he will make some really dumb decisions too (unless he's not human!). So my feeling is vote for the person you feel is the most genuine in their attempts to govern and do good for their country. Vote for someone who will try help the nation's image grow in the eyes of the world. Vote for someone who will try to do the right thing when it comes to the escalating environmental issues we're beginning to face. They might not manage to succeed in all aspects of their governance, but at least if they have a good mindset, they'll be starting to move the US in the right direction.

 

Anyway, I thought I'd do a little TL poll and see if it's accurate in any way once we know the outcome.

My cynical self voted for 'I don't think it matters who wins'. After all, they are funded by the same big corporations / institutions.

 

I'm not in the US but it would be interesting to hear what you guys on the other side of the pond think about the forthcoming election.

Some great thoughts in what should steer peoples decisions. I wished every American would think along these lines.

 

Lets remember some key points:

The republicans refused to sign the Kyoto agreement and refuse to acknowledge global warming. Such ideas are bad for the oil industry, and bad for global weather changes. More republicans = more hurricane sandy type events.

 

Mitt the twit returned from a 'world tour' a few months back. He visited 7 countries including the UK and Israel. In each country, he managed to put his foot in his mouth and insult just about every world leader or its citizens with his Bush style gaffs. The world does not like, or trust Mitt the twit. A country with a fool for president reflects badly on it's business' and citizens.

 

As for who will do best for the country, well I think you just need to look at how the republicans left the country the last time, and why Obama got in in the first place - four short years ago. Mitt the twit is afterall a venture capitalist by trade. He specializes in acquiring things, then breaking them up for profit. Profit, profit, profit. Of course I'm not an anti capitalist, but on the economy and the welfare of it's people, you have to look beyond the P&L of the economy.

 

Anyway. More bayonets and horses....

I am with the 50% who think neither of these guys will change any thing, since they are on custody and monitored by lobbies and "brotherhoods" whose agendas might not be that sexy if made naked.

It really is unimportant who wins the elections. The lobbies from the back are to powerful. So the president is like puppet...

 

so who wins is important..since they got different puppet masters, they will do different things ;)

by the way, when will we be hearing about the result?

any good online source to follow?

 

I'm just watching the bbc site:- BBC News - US 2012 election results

 

Apparently this is the most expensive election campaign in history at something like $2.5Bl. Although generally this could be said about each sequential election, the 2012 election seems rather ridiculous. Given in USA the poverty rate currently stands at ~15% ( BBC News - US poverty rate unchanged even as incomes fall) that figure is outrageous. Anyway. I wonder what the election campaign cost chart would look like in terms of gold? Anyone seen that or fancy doing it?

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
