I'm not sure you know what Occupy Wall Street was about.

  To be fair, it's really hard to tell from the outside because the messages were all so muddled and the actions amounted to hanging out in a park. What's your take?
  • mslkmdf 10y ago
    Well the root cause was banks being bailed out and almost nobody being punished. Doesn't really relate to automation killing off jobs in any way.

  Since I live a few blocks from Zuccatti Park and was present for most of the Occupy rise and fall, I'm pretty sure I know what it was about, but feel free to share. And yes, I personally feel that a clear parallel is shaping up.

    What is the parallel between automation and gross negligence/corruption?
    • randall 10y ago
      Influence leading to gross negligence / corruption. Power corrupting all. Not the OP, but just a guess.
