We give multi-billion dollar corporations huge tax breaks on the grounds that they "create jobs".

We never rescind those tax breaks when they lay off thousands.

Layoffs are part of kleptocracy and capitalism and with scotus 6 fully supporting no voting (no justice), it wouldn't surprise me. Human beings are unimportant unless we buy their crap products so they can steal what chump isn't.

But I took full responsibility. It is the system that we are plugged in. Rather than teaching everyone to create assets in schools or universities, they only teach us how to trade our time and freedom for money.

The Big Five are under orders from their investors to make room on the books for the AI boondoggle.
AI is an element of a fascist movement. Mass unemployment feeds fascism.
