A lot of 401k havers will be impacted as well but so many people are so much worse off now than 2008 and have no retirements to lose that it will look different.

I assume Apple has or is going to do the same so if we want to avoid AI we’ll have to go Linux and use alternatives to many of our favorite programs?
I was forced to watch a zoom workplace presentation about the future of AI. They didn’t explicitly say this but it became clear that they can’t replace us yet because they don’t have the training data. This is why we will increasingly hear about all encompassing software solutions like Zoom workplace and why your boss will increasingly insist you conduct all business inside of it. They have to quantify and feed everything we do into the model. Bullshit jobs are first up… for better out worse.
And they’ll do it again with the next bubble if we survive.
The right wing has to make sure all populist / working class energy is diverted from a revolutionary bent to a civil war bent. "The radical left wants to kill you so we will make sure we kill them first." It will necessarily become true that the left is violent when violent self defense becomes increasingly necessary.
I appreciate everyone who replied. I feel like the DSA isn’t as irredeemably lib as characterized but they have made mistakes for sure and criticism is an important part of the process. I think it would be even better if some of the critics came to meetings and voiced these concerns and ideas. And if there’s orgs that are doing the work they want to see I’d love to know so I can check them out as well. It’s crucial that we get to a place of regularly conducting our political struggle in person with real people.
I’m in a chapter of the org and we are constantly having this discussion internally. People within the chapter are skeptical of electoralism. What’s your feeling on how they should utilize members time and funds? I’m not on a steering committee or anything but they listen to every member.
I love it here on hexbear but it’s wild to me how hostile a few of us are to a large group of people getting together weekly to attempt to further the goals of socialism.
They do other stuff besides endorse democrats.
This is chapter by chapter. My local chapter voted against running candidates on the Dem ticket. And are critical of using limited DSA resources for candidates they know would ultimately be unaccountable to them once elected. I think some members of the chapter might be on here. 
The new logo sucks but the fact that you can lose $100 million because the little graphic above your store looks slightly different really demonstrates how fucking dumb capitalism is

Every fund my retirement account website recommended had nvidia, apple and Microsoft in the top five holdings. I had to specifically know I didn’t want that and move the money out to get away from it… and the other funds are tied up in other stupid bullshit that seems like bubbles too. Imo Retirement accounts are a trap to make working class folks think like capitalists.
