Heute für die #SPD-Landtagsfraktion in #Trier. Dort fand die Veranstaltung der Zukunftsinitiative Rheinland-Pfalz (kurz #ZIRP) zum Thema „Unsere Infrastruktur- sicher in die Zukunft“ statt.

"Broadly, across economic sectors, AI isn’t visibly affecting the #jobmarket. But it’s a good layoff excuse.
So if that’s true, why are there all these #layoffs? It’s broader and long-running economic problems. You can start at the end of the zero interest rate policy [#ZIRP]."
