   Cuomo loves half-measures and taking credit for not doing much of anything. There's no force of law behind this order. Earlier this week he announced "mortgage relief," but its means-tested and difficult to actually navigate.

    To the extent that my children depend on me to eat, yes, its bad for their livelihood. I'm saying that technology is _bad_. I'm saying that losing your job is bad, and if your boss replacing you with a machine is what causes that

    This story fits into a larger context of wealthy investors buying up media properties and gutting their staff. It's extra relevant b/c Bloomberg is outrageously wealthy and running for president.
