LMAO What a take! Thanks for the laugh.
Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn’t mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they’re so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.
We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.
That’s why I’m fully pro-automation. Automation makes everyone’s lives easier, it removes the burdens from the backs of people. For every job that someone doesn’t have to toil at we have the chance for them to find something they actually enjoy and excel at it, maybe even push the boundaries in some way.
People think they fear automation, but that’s not the enemy. The enemy is the politicians who are so far behind the times, and in many cases corrupt to the point they’re actively working against the people they were elected to serve, that our system simply will not adapt to these boons we’ve developed. There’s just no reason we can’t feed every mouth in America if the will was there in the people pulling the strings, but that doesn’t line their pockets personally and the people in positions of power don’t give a rat’s ass about you or your family.
Honestly it feels like all the pieces are there to build something wonderful, but it wont happen unless we’re willing to knock down the shitty “it’s what we’ve got” house of cards narrative.
