This is because of AI, which isn’t going to be stopped by any of the paid off politicians in both parties. Amazon announced that robots will replace 600,000 workers by 2030.

Yes, but AI is how they announce layoffs with positive spin. Reality no one is buying the crap, and tariffs are depressing sales. They need to unload employees even though the automation is a pipe dream.

Amazon’s stock is up at least 5-6% and reports earnings this week. How about we come back later this week when they blow out quarterly earnings and you can admit you’re wrong.

Will do. AI bubble inflates. UPS and Amazon demoralizing their workforce in November means consumers aren't buying and aren't going to buy anytime soon.

I really don't get the folks bleating about the stock market AI bubble as a measure of success when jobs are in the toilet and it is only going to get worse with AI.

Fewer people can even invest in stocks or 401k plans when they don't have jobs or the job pay is crap.

DP to add, case in point:

Amazon Plans to Replace More Than Half a Million Jobs With Robots

"Amazon’s U.S. work force has more than tripled since 2018 to almost 1.2 million. But Amazon’s automation team expects the company can avoid hiring more than 160,000 people in the United States it would otherwise need by 2027. That would save about 30 cents on each item that Amazon picks, packs and delivers to customers.

Executives told Amazon’s board last year that they hoped robotic automation would allow the company to continue to avoid adding to its U.S. work force in the coming years, even though they expect to sell twice as many products by 2033. That would translate to more than 600,000 people whom Amazon didn’t need to hire."

I’d like someone on the Democrat side to please explain how this and all the other AI related job cuts means that we need more immigration? You can either think AI is going to take a lot of jobs or you can believe that we need a lot more immigrants to fill vacant positions. It is a nonsensical ideology to argue both positions at the same time.

-Did not vote for Trump and agree with Bernie that illegal immigration is a libertarian / Koch Brothers scam.

Why do you think all of these college educated white collar workers are going to move to the midwest to work the files or in slaughter houses?

Amazon is going to cut 600,000 warehouse jobs and replace everyone with robots by 2030. You don’t think slaughterhouses can use robots?!

All of these displaced workers are going to need to learn construction and other trades or they are going to be collecting welfare. Just look at all the college graduate CS majors who are working retail and service jobs because they can’t find work. These white collar people who are riffed are not going to find white collar jobs. It is going to get real dark, real quick.

The last thing we need is more people coming here to collect UBI in 5-10 years.

GOP has been cutting education, so unless you expect these 30-50 year old white collar workers to become unpaid apprentices in construction trades, I am not sure where you are going with this.

GOP is also cutting welfare, so there is no help there either.

I guess we will just let them all eat cake and die, right?

And yes, Kamala and the democrats had plans to invest in retraining and re-shoring jobs in manufacturing, but Trump killed all of that with his tariffs.

What was Kamala’s plan to stop the progress of AI because AI when it is fully sentient is not only going to displace the majority of workers regardless of education status but is also a threat
to human extinction that we haven’t seen since the atom bomb?

Where is any politicians plan and who is talking seriously about this besides Andrew Yang? Everyone is asleep at the wheel worrying about trivial issues by comparison. These are the same politicians that allowed social media to brainwash our children and corrupt our minds so thoroughly that a large percentage of our kids are psychotic and on meds and we elected a complete bozo like Donald Trump, which would be unthinkable 30 years ago.

No one is coming to save us from either party. We are all at the whims of whatever Sam Altman wants to do, no matter the social consciences or how much it literally imperils human civilization.

They would be regulating it; they would not have banned regulation at the local level; they would have mandated that the power for the data centers be tied to renewable energy so retail electric costs wouldn't harm the individual and so on. The GOP is leaving this to force a certain type of dystopia.
