I think there are two major purposes in government. First, protection for its citizens. This includes military protection from hostile foreign powers and domestic protection from interpersonal crime and systemic violence as well as providing safety nets.

The second is creation, protection, and maintenance of public infrastructure, including transportation arteries, healthcare systems, etc.

Furthermore, government should be centered around protecting all its citizens, not just the richest.

Gluten intolerant person here. It’s like any other allergies where it runs the gambit. Most of us only have digestive issues if we eat it.

Extremely common Minnesota W. I love my state.

Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.

Sometimes I have it re-write emails for me if I feel like my tone is off. Once in a blue moon I’ll use an LLM to write a trivial AHK script. I also use AI art bots for throwaway character art for NPCs in my D&D campaign.

Beyond that, almost never.

You can lead someone to knowledge but you can’t make em think.
