IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the destruction is the point
There's no logic
There's no point
There's no overarching truth to fascists
The point is total war
The point is to hurtle toward suicide as fast as possible, inflict as much damage as possible, and die along the way

I will not hurt or harm you. Just give me back the board, Lance. It was a good board and I like it. You know how hard it is to find a board you like.

Microsoftβs AI boss says AI can replace every white-collar job in 18 months β βWeβre going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasksβ
And now, the end is near...
I mean yeah if you want someone to say dumb shit in meetings, slow down progress, and suck up to the boss then yeah you can replace managers with ai. It would be a lot better to just summarily fire them though

Agreed. Ever since I turned old, 3 drinks or more is a mistake that I'll pay for in at least poor sleep and most likely a minor hangover. I can't imagine drinking 10 standard drinks or 5 turbo drinks. There was a time, but it has certainly passed

Can you be surprised that a society based on brutal exploitation gives rise to people who themselves, having experienced nothing but brutality are given to nihilistic sadism?
