The techbro philosophy of “move fast and break things” is going to impoverish so many more people than it needed to. Over glorified chatbot software. I pray this nation unravels itself before that day comes, because we know there will never be a UBI implemented. The powers that be would never allow it, no matter how many actually-human jobs AI consumes. That “day where no one will need a job” will only come in the form of “you will never make money again”.
I paid to study technology and land a career in that field; not ‘waste my money and end up forced back into either retail or food service anyfuckingway’. I’d sooner neck myself in the street than go back to that.

And I paid to study chemistry just to have the rug pulled and nearly all jobs that I qualified for off-shored, having to compete with PhDs just for entry-level jobs. My first career was over before I got a chance to start it. Fortunately, it was a very technical field of study and I was able to leverage it to “fall back” into the tech industry.
If shit happens, don’t off yourself. There’s always hope. “The world isn’t fair”, is a problem statement, not a justification. And we’re engineers. You’ve got this shit.
