There's this weird thing in economics commentary where they keep saying things like. "Is there going to be work for people in the future?"
Then you look in any field and they are starved for laborers.
I think it's something about elite desire to increase the unemployed population.

I am aware how instacart works. What I'm saying is: outsourcing this labor comes with social and individual. There are huge social costs associated with creating a permanent under class of laborers working precarious conditions.

Disappointed in Warnock voting for this but I kinda get it. Bill likely won’t make it through the House and SCOTUS would probably cancel it if it did. There’s little voter support for treating elite athletes like the underpaid laborers they are. Tactical vote to avoid an attack ad in two years.

To make a finer point, it’s not like it’s easy for wage laborers to raise their income when expenses rise. Social security income is *far* more insulated from the stresses of inflation than wage income is.

It is incredibly effective at teaching children to comply by completing rote tasks that require little mental struggle. It's the techno-capitalist-fascist dream scenario: skilled, compliant laborers.
Linda McMahon: "AI is definitely a tool used correctly. I've seen it in action. I have visited the Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where they use AI for the first two hours every single morning. The students have their headsets on, they are watching their computers ... it is incredibly effective"

Decent people ARE in the streets being injured & murdered by Ice. What news are you watching? All bought by suppressors & oligarchs. Corporate CEO's astronomical salaries, not fast food laborers are responsible for failures & price gouging. Don't buy in. RESIST & VOTE is the LEAST we can do
What can we DO to stop this??????? That poor child! All these children!!!! it is all heartbreaking.

FARM LABORERS WORK IN DIRE CONDITIONS & THERE'S NO SHADE FROM HOT CALIFORNIA HEAT! STRUGGLING TO SUPPORT FAMILIES WITH LOW WAGES& DIRE CONDITIONS!
"Rosa" says, "I'm harvesting sweet potatoes in Livingston CA area. I work 8 hrs/day and earn CA minimum wage. I wake up at 2 am, prepare my lunch, drive to work and start by 4am. I finished for the day by 12:30 pm. It's very hard to pay our bills from this low pay." #WeFeedYou

The Humanities have never been more important. The Trump GOP want only rich people to learn the critical thinking and human understanding needed to succeed in making a fulfilling life in the world. The rest of us are just laborers to them.
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1
Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees
Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

It was like the civil war never ended back then.
You know, they did the same sort of thing to the miners. And the laborers/ workers up north. Only it wasn't in the racist context these down south were.
But in all these cases it was oligarchs vs workers. Military utilized to slaughter Americans.

“Why is political violence on the rise? Because it gets results.”
In an interview with PRA, Hardy Merriman and Scot Nakagawa break down how we can combat political violence using backfire principles. Read the full interview here: politicalresearch.org/2024/11/21/q....

![PRA: What is political violence? What forms does it take here in the U.S., and what impact does it have on democracy?
Hardy Merriman: In simple terms, political violence is the use of violence to try to achieve a political goal or advance a political message.
We look at the perpetrator’s intention when deciding to use the term “political.” All acts of violence have political implications—whether interpersonal or structural—but when that violence is done with [a] particular political motivation, we call it political violence.
And its effects are huge. Political violence is very damaging to U.S. democracy. With it, a small group intends to gain power outside of the democratic process. Through violence, they instill fear to limit our exercise of constitutionally-guaranteed rights, like that of free speech. They try to reduce voter turnout during elections, and then dispute the results to circumvent the process. They can also use it to try to drive people from public service, threaten judges and juries, and get businesses to stop taking certain positions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eqre2sxfebqonsel7k63q34v/bafkreiagtx6x67gfxi7imdn5pu6tk7zd4i5twf3efhfu35jmj4yiaj2ooq)
![Hardy Merriman (continued):
And this country has a history of using political violence to keep entire populations in fear: It’s part of the glue that held together the Jim Crow South. It’s been targeted at groups such as LGBTQ people. It’s been targeted at workers and laborers who seek fair wages and safe working conditions. And it’s used against those who show solidarity with those groups. Unless we stop it, I fear it will continue to get worse.
Scot Nakagawa: The impact of political violence and threats is profound. Organizations, for example, are rolling back canvasses and losing volunteers because people aren’t willing to expose themselves and their families to the possibility of threats and violence. [This is] a critical issue that we need to deal with by reminding people that the vast majority of us oppose most violence, and certainly political violence of this kind. We must get people to feel they belong to the majority and give them the opportunity to take actions they feel are real and palpable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eqre2sxfebqonsel7k63q34v/bafkreigcx6mhtounljxhclsl6pwevhgzx2evj7w5weq6zdtefwgizgsthy)

In Nuenen (1883–85), Van Gogh set out to be a “peasant painter,” following his hero Millet. His empathy for laborers—shaped in the Borinage—deepened as he painted weavers and humble meals. These themes culminated in The Potato Eaters, his raw hymn to rural toil.
