...Wow. This article changed my opinions dramatically. Really thankful to see an article like this. It puts the emphasis on irresponsible (whether it's intended or not) journalism as a huge problem here in the US, as opposed to all the dystopian news stories that come out these days. Of course there are real exceptions, like stories that turn out to be true about really bad working conditions in some places. But it particularly struck me to see this example, of John Oliver and his team grasping at straws to put together a damning narrative about Amazon, only for one guy with firsthand warehouse experience to come out and tell a much more positive and convincing story about his job. We definitely live in a time where social media and the news tend to make us think the world is a hellscape of things like big tech and AI, corrupt politics, and corporate greed, all coming together to destroy our world as we know it. I don't think the world is perfect, there's still tons of problems that really suck (homelessness, poverty, actual corruption and greed, ...) but I feel like we're gonna be totally fine and this is pretty manageable overall. We'll figure it all out.
