mel"... #Convenience and ease are values that have arisen largely because the #oligarchs have nothing better to sell us. Good health care, good housing, better transportation: selling us actual improvements to #society has been deemed too expensive, and providing us with improvements on these core components of a decent life would require a real #redistribution of #wealth. They may even require a reordering of society, so they’re off the table. In their place we get #apps that save us 5 minutes in the planning of our week, or #chatbots that save us two seconds of Googling, or #AI music apps that save us hours of learning to really make #art."
