    Preserving employment is not a meaningful goal. Jobs go away or change all the time. Between 1970 and 2010, average worker, be them blue or white collar, became 10x more productive. Do we work 3days a month for a full salary now? Ok we work just as hard but do we live better and more equally?

    On free-market economy, every kind of development, every kind of change ends up screwing over working people and benefiting the wealthy. We need to work on changing the way we organize society at a more fundamental level. If it wasn’t generative model bubble it would be another bullshit bubble, it will never end unless working masses decide to take some direct action.

      Given the currently exorbitant prices for beef, I just thought of a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.
