[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the rise of AI and automation, everyone is going to be hit hard with job losses. The private sector has long been experiencing these trends; now the government employees are feeling it, too.

It makes one thing absolutely clear to me -- in a nation of 300+ million people and soon-to-be not enough jobs to go around, one thing we absolutely do not need is MORE PEOPLE here.

No more low-skill labor, legal or illegal -- we have people without jobs who need those jobs.

No more high-skill labor, legal or illegal -- we have our own swelling ranks of highly educated, unemployed people who need those jobs.

It's time for an immigration moratorium. [/quote]

LOL. Still not the billionaires' fault. Bootlicker. [/quote]

Not sure what you mean.

Many business owners (Bezos, Musk, Gates, etc.) are billionaires. But they're not cutting jobs just because they're greedy billionaires.

Technology is rapidly automating many of the jobs that us mere worker-bees perform. These public companies are owned by shareholders and have a legal duty (fiduciary obligation) to run the company to the benefit of the shareholders---if that means replacing low-skill manual workers with automation and high-skill "information" jobs with AI to increase productivity and drive down costs, they are doing what they're supposed to be doing; the government owes the same duty to the taxpayers that fund it.

We don't have to like it, but we can't stop the march of technology, either.

What we CAN do is stop importing millions of more people every year---people with whom we (or our children) will be competing with for the jobs that remain. It's common sense.

Blaming "the billionaires" won't solve the problem or make things better for American workers. What will make things better for American workers is to stop importing millions of more people here when there aren't enough jobs for those of us who are already here. [/quote]
