    It was the same thing with machines that could lay rail road tracks.

    There wasn’t a plan there either, and that’s how we got shantytowns. Caping for the capitalists’ bad planning is not making you out to be “the adult in the room”. I don’t give a shit about GDP, that shit’s just a number that as evidenced by the “soaring economy yet ain’t no one want to hire” environment the current jobs market is, doesn’t affect my material conditions one goddamn whit.

    I give a shit about my peers and neighbors not winding up on the streets because they can no longer afford their homes after some shitbag executive decided “yeah, a glorified chatbot can do this job and fifteen thousand others”.
