i don’t think anyone doubts that certain jobs can be automated away, but what concerns me is how many people point at “lowly cashiers” and gloat “look at how stupidly greedy you’re being by asking for a livable wage you lowly cashier.” the

all of this is based on what? this seems like an awful lot of speculation regarding one of the largest social networks on the planet. is there waste? highly likely. but the kind you’re implying? sounds ridiculous. what are you basing this

are there really that many of them? the numbers we’re seeing from truth social and it’s similars seem to indicate otherwise. my guess is, we’ll see far more users abandon twitter than we see of maga users swarming.

i’m not clear on why you’re asking this? is this since it wasn’t done 10 years ago, does that mean we can no longer do it, ever? is this because theyre doing something the citizens will be happy with? shouldn’t we be celebrating that? i’d m

crypto startups are infested with people desperately attempting to be the system, but they’ve convinced themselves (and each other) that adopting a different aesthetic somehow means their motivations are totally not the same.

can you show us example tweets where the left has called for violence where they have remained up?

the comment you’re replying to mentioned 10 years ago — i’m guessing the companies who happily disregarded people 10 years ago might feel a bit different today. my brother had a very similar “apply online” experience in 2016.
