This encapsulates why football, as a spectator sport, is stupid.

This natural law is philosophical bullshit. There is no natural law saying ANYTHING because that concept is not real. It is a construct, an idea, no different than the Torah or the Koran.

So you are ok with someone capable and able to work just...not...because that’s ok? Interdependent society depends on everyone pulling their weight - and right now that pulling is inequitably rewarded but every bit of it, even that hated CEO, is necessary. We can’t have herds of unwilling or incapable people wandering…

I don’t watch a great deal of television but I did watch The Handmaid’s Tale because I am a huge Margaret Atwood fan and found it to be disturbingly possible and very well done.  Elisabeth Moss has done such a great job of becoming the character she portrays I find it hard to imagine her in another role...especially…

Well, personally I work with unions I am not a member of, my voting is consistently pro-worker, I do some volunteer work with progressive groups such as Move On (not enough), I actively avoid self-checkout when possible...nothing earth-shattering but it is what I can do.

I don’t disagree on principle but...

I fight the cult of Trader Joe’s with every fiber of my being hahaha

BOO-YAH!

So the former Aldi cashier’s children will have a better life, and I agree with your long-term outlook in general but TODAY automation is removing jobs from the workforce. We have a cyclical dip in unemployment but it will rise again and people will NEED jobs that don’t exist anymore. Not everyone can retool and…

Satan has balls, and they are small, green, mushy and called Peas.  

Any story touting electric vehicles should have a story like this attached to it - yes, EV’s are not great today, expensive, limited range, use fossil fuels to create the electricity (which ignores the green energy already in place) blah blah blah...

Did you line up like a tasteless sheep for this Applebees pass?

I agree - a 10-item of less self checkout fine, it does speed life along for most people. But jobs MATTER. Work MATTERS. We NEED jobs for people who aren’t capable of earning a degree or learning a profession that (for now) is AI proof.

So...what will those people DO to earn their bread?

AI and technology displacing more and more workers...they slip this in when unemployment is low...and we are stuck with it when unemployment is high and people need jobs.  

Agreed.

“...broke the internet...”

Just went to Yahoo for the first time in over a decade...my email account is still there, might mine it to see what life-changing things I might have missed...but otherwise it seemed like a pretty inoffensive bland website with too many ads. 

“I don’t like the source so *plugs ears* I’m not gonna listen* is rather foolish, dontchathink?
