@jaredwhite There is a false capitalism/tech culture of fatalism - as if for some reason human decisions are predestined like natural acts and cannot humanly be opposed, stopped, banned. Capital is now seeking to make workers unnecessary. Society will crumble if people can't work and have livelihoods. We must all oppose this crap with all our might.
