You keep saying the U.S. economy as if the wealth of a handful of billionaires really helps you sleep at night. The 7 most powerful companies are doing great but otherwise companies in the U.S. are bleeding and costs are up on everything you can think of. Gold has made the U.S. market gains seem tiny, which reinforces the notion that hedging against traditional market gains has been super successful. Unemployment is not down unless you believe fairytale numbers Trump lackeys are willing to lie to you about. Anyone with critical thinking skills can see that AI investment needs to have a payoff. When more than 80% of the stock market is propped up by tech and AI investment, there better be a damn good return for these venture capitalists. One of the cleanest ways to get that return is to eliminate labor costs, and companies are already in the process of cleaning house to get those balance sheet numbers pumped.


I work for a robotics company. We automate warehouses. AI doesn't scare me. You either adapt, or you fall behind. I'm sleeping just fine at night. Kids will stop going to school for mundane easily replaceable jobs and start going for things that actually impact the future.

A lot of propaganda in that post though. Really trying to scare us. The U.S. is and will continue to thrive. Millions will continue to fight to come here to build a better life.

I helped design safety and facility identification for 13 states on the east coast, thousands of places are planning to layoff huge swaths of employees and these are white collar jobs not "mundane easily replaceable jobs"

this has been in motion since 2018 when I began working for facilities in SFID. I have since moved on to non-profit work because building community resiliency and mutual aid is going to be immensely important when shit will hit the fan

you can lie to yourself only for so long, or convince yourself that since your job is fine everything is all good for the whole country

the people developing the AI and the execs deploying the AI and eliminating jobs aren't doing anything about UBI or larger societal issues from this labor market disruption

they mainly care about winning in their markets, let someone else worry about unemployment and turmoil which comes when millions of people lose their jobs/homes

meanwhile the rich are fortifying their properties, preparing for armed defense. they say these things out loud and you call it propaganda? what a joke

More doom and gloom

Same thing we've heard every year. U.S. Will remain on top. Life is short, enjoy it.

there's two Americas, one where billionaires hold unprecedented skyrocketing wealth and one where millions of families are struggling with no end in sight

I've personally been moving everything out of my investment accounts, even willing to pay penalties, to move it abroad because that's how clear it is to me that it's not in my family's best interests to stay here

The poorest 20% of Americans are richer on average than most European nations.

The bottom 5% of Americans are richer than over 60% of the world.


PLEASE tell me again what the fuck we're talking about here?
