'The worst in quite some time': Trump hit by bad news as latest job numbers shock (www.rawstory.com)

Analysts were left shocked Wednesday after ADP released its latest jobs report that showed private employers had shed 32,000 jobs in September, a stark contrast to the expected gain of around 50,000 jobs.

The latest job numbers follow a wave of bad economic news for Trump, who raged against previous reports that showed a sharp decline in job growth, going as far as to call job numbers coming out of his own administration “rigged,” and firing the BLS chief in retaliation.

I've been watching not only people get laid off openly because of AI in my company, but also the leaders talk about it like it's a wonderful thing for everyone. I've been asked many times to look into AI tools and see if they can do my own job.

It's fucking so messed up. I fucking hate people who think these tools can replace people.

Not just because the tools are inadequate, but people making a living besides bussing tables for the 1% isn't sustainable without UBI. In the US, we can't even get fucking free healthcare, there is no way we'll get UBI in our lifetimes.
