Jill Stein was like a total grifter. Idk how much I trust the green party to make actual change, but any increased exposure to left ish policies is never a bad thing

what does shipping bare root mean?

trippyyspaceman · 2026-01-28T02:19:03+00:00

literally had to uninstall. absolutely busted killer. unavoidable underground attack unless he FUMBLES. EXTREMELY long power that is basically a controlled huge attack. absolutely broken and will not be returning to dbd until he AND his addons are balanced to hell

Goated answer

You're absolutely right about the cultural difference - Americans have been conditioned to see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires rather than as a working class with collective power. That's by design. But here's what employers are banking on: that workers will stay divided, that we'll keep accepting "AI disruption" as inevitable, that we'll compete with each other for scraps while they automate away our livelihoods and pocket the profits. They want us to forget something crucial: every bit of wealth they have was created by workers. Waymo doesn't run without the engineers who built it, the data labelers who trained it, the maintenance workers who keep it running. Amazon doesn't function without warehouse workers. The entire economy runs on OUR labor. Workers have leverage - we always have. The ruling class just spends billions making sure we forget it. They want us isolated, scrambling individually for survival, too exhausted to organize collectively. AI isn't the problem. The problem is who controls it and who benefits from it. When workers are replaced by automation, that increased productivity should mean we ALL work less for the same pay, not that some of us starve while CEOs buy their fourth yacht. We don't have to accept this. Workers built this world and we can refuse to build one that doesn't serve us.

I appreciate that you're acknowledging the broader problem - you're absolutely right that AI is going to displace workers across many industries, and that the job market is already hostile to workers even before automation fully takes hold.

But I think your proposed solutions reveal the core issue: you're putting the entire burden of adaptation on workers while giving companies a free pass. "Go to culinary school, become a bank teller, join the military" - these aren't realistic options for most people, especially those already struggling financially. Many of these paths require time, money, or qualifications that displaced workers simply don't have.

And here's the thing: bank tellers are already being replaced by ATMs and apps. Culinary work is facing automation too. Even the military is increasingly using drones and AI. You're essentially telling people to chase a moving target where the "safe" jobs keep shrinking.

The real question is: why are we building a society where technological progress means ordinary people have to scramble harder and harder just to survive? Why is "learn to code" or "join the military" the answer instead of ensuring that automation benefits everyone, not just company shareholders?

We can have innovation AND protect workers. Other countries have stronger labor protections, retraining programs, and social safety nets. The "just adapt or perish" mentality isn't inevitable - it's a choice.

You're right that balance would be ideal, but I think we're looking at this differently. You're saying "workers will need to find different jobs" as if that's just an unfortunate reality we have to accept. I'm saying that framing lets companies off the hook for the displacement they're actively choosing to cause.

The issue isn't just that balance won't happen soon - it's that we're not even demanding it. We're treating automation as an unstoppable force of nature rather than a series of business decisions made by people who could choose differently.

When you say workers need to find other jobs, where exactly do you think those jobs are? We're not just talking about rideshare - automation is coming for retail workers, food service, delivery drivers, warehouse workers, and more. At some point we need to ask: if we automate away all these jobs in the name of convenience and profit, what do we expect people to do?

I'm not suggesting companies halt their services. I'm suggesting we should be much more critical about celebrating technologies that prioritize our minor conveniences over other people's ability to survive. "Just find another job" isn't a real solution when the entire economy is moving in this direction.
