When I toured an Amazon FC, I kept waiting to see the people in charge. The cliche bosses sitting in offices above everyone monitoring the work. It took a while for me to understand the scanners in everyone's hands were in charge, not people.
my running list of jobs that have been reverse centaur-ed (per Cory Doctorow's definition)
1. Amazon DSP driving
2. long-haul trucking
3. call center work (esp non-union)
4. food delivery
5. ____________
what could possibly go wrong
That sounds brutal.
oof
There are jobs where you use tech to do your job. In other jobs, tech uses *you* to do its job. Cory Doctorow calls these "reverse centaurs." Ever worked one of these jobs? Where? What was it like?
Say more?

That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

This is the largest liquid natural gas company in the US.
It's CEO was at the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser where candidate Trump asked oil & gas execs for $1 billion. They gave $250K to a Trump-affiliated PAC in 2024.
Notice anything?
🚨NEW PAPER🚨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.
Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.
Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.
