@rbreich according to what I've seen on CNN, they aren't going to do that, will treat good ideas with contempt, and then half ass them anyways.

@rbreich Extremely good amirite?

@jetton why start so old? Old folks use technology way less

@LGmedia @lolennui yeah, Marx wrote about that over a century ago. Henry Ford, despite still being an asshole, believed that so he tried to pay his workers better. All of the neoliberal policies have just wrecked the working class. There are more rich people than before, but also more poor people, and less middle class. It's not a stable situation, not to mention whether or not we strengthen democracy or fall into authoritatianism.

@LGmedia @lolennui not only that, stock prices are through the roof! Think of the shareholders!

@lolennui awesome, now we can automate away skilled labor, but we still can't solve homelessness and other stuff

@jonstaebell indeed, but the country is 350 million people big. It's better for your happiness to limit the news and focus on what is within your control. I know it's terrible, but us as individuals, are entire effort or lack of effort does little to effect the entire country.
