Might sound a little bit extreme, but when you really think about it, it becomes more and more believable. In the USA, they have been offshoring jobs to other countries, allowing more H-1B visa workers every single year, work is continuously paying less and less money except in places where $16 an hour minimum wage has been implemented but that's very rare. Now we are seeing a huge reduction in jobs in the millions due to AI. Work day, the company that literally creates the job sites for applicants to use, laid off about 10%, 1/10 of its entire workforce, just to have AI do all that for them....

And you know what the effect of all of these lost jobs are? People who can't afford to live. You can't afford to live for even a month or two without a job anymore, even with a job it's expensive and hard to survive because groceries are out of control, rent is rising every single year but your salary doesn't always rise....

We should call it what it is. It's genocide. People are being thrown into homeless camps, and once you're in a homeless camp, it's like there's no going back for you. You can't apply for jobs. You can't go into McDonald's and eat even if you have the money. People want to pretend you don't exist anymore and that you're not real because you're homeless. There's no health care, no support for you. You have no address so you can't claim any sort of welfare. No employer wants to hire you if you are homeless.

Genocide.
