Hybrid workplaces are an effort by management to hang on to power and privilege for as long as possible.
From @avilewis 's first news conference as NDP leader:
"The oil industry in Canada has figured out how to make a barrel of oil with 45% fewer workers in the last decade. That means that the biggest threat to oil and gas jobs in Canada today is automation by the industry itself."

Elsipogtog First Nation warned last summer in a statement that the ProEnergy project “risks igniting widespread Indigenous resistance” and that if it goes forward “it will be met with legal and direct action.”
Elsipogtog, also known as Big Cove, is located about 75 kilometres northwest from the site of the proposed power plant. That site falls within a larger Mi’kma’ki district known as Sikniktuk.
The world needs to figure out a way to leave Israel and the United States behind if their citizens can't restore decency, dignity, humanity, and the rule of law.

Seems like everyone, except the politicians that are supposed to represent us and have their finger on the pulse, know that tech bro Ai is empowering fascism and causing gratitious harm. Or maybe we just keep electing crooked and incompetent politicians.

Tech journalist Karen Hao, who once worked in Silicon Valley as an engineer, is sounding the alarm on holding AI giants accountable. She argues people need to push back against massive companies that are 'consolidating a historic amount of economic and political power, terraforming our earth, reshaping our geopolitics' as well as our lives and work.
