That means it has a million year life. Nature is stronger than what the human can produce. The granite top says "the seal of the USA." That's the exact term, if you look at the seals.
Jon Ossoff tells Lawrence O’Donnell: “It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults — public officials, paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust… No one cares about their feelings.”
Even if AI worked (it doesn't) and didn't wreck the environment (it does) and malevolent billionaires didn't control it (they do) and wasn't an anti-labor brain-destroying theft machine (it is), if people don't like it and don't want it, then it shouldn't exist in their spaces and communities
