  • When will we break from this cycle of opting for shitty solutions and practices?

    I recently interviewed and there’s a quiet resignation of “well, this is how it is everywhere”. Why? What’s driving this? Why are the work cultures so bad, prioritizing speed and heroic efforts over systems, long term thinking?

  • I think it’s grant committees dictating the research agenda all the way down. They’re after all the ones with the money.

  • It’s not young vs old, it’s capital-owning class vs everyone else. AI is trying to solve a trillion dollar problem: paying wages. If you live off wages you hate ai because it endangers your livelihood. If you live off your capital you love ai because you get more of the pie.

  • Very cool! Gotta keep them healthy to keep them working to compensate for the impending demographic upheaval

  • The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily

  • In California the property taxes are such that it punishes people that didn’t buy a house 30 years ago. The apartment I rent pays property taxes on a valuation of ~$250k. This property just went for sale at $1.2 million. Whoever buys it now will pay property taxes on a $1.2 million valuation, while right now due to how the law is structured, the current owner pays taxes on $250k.

    It’s just a big fuck you by the system. The tax law was modified because they saw that if they kept increasing the tax proportionally with the market value of the home, soon a bunch people would lose their homes because wages are stagnant and home prices are rocketing. So they passed this cap that helps current homeowners.

    I don’t know if there is a reasonable tax under these conditions where home speculation and investment-mindset inflates home prices while wages are stagnant and inflation is a bustling.

  • Do wealth tax instead!!!

    Inequality is the cause of poor living standards. We need higher taxes on inheritance, wealth. And weaker taxes on workers.

  • My son job lowered their hiring wage instead of raising it.

  • This is from 1894, nothing has changed, the systems are still in place and arguably have grown to cover a wider spread of the socioeconomic classes.

    It blows my mind, for all the advances in technology, human nature hasn’t changed and we’re still exploiting our fellow people. It’s just one “fuck you” after another

  • The problem with the statement(which I have no idea if it’s true or someone just made this for rage bait) is that it’s making a ranked comparison saying streaming sucks more than regular jobs, so it antagonizes the working class as it jumps into a misery competition.

    It’s divisive, when instead we should be uniting under the reality that standards of living are shit due to wealth inequality. The statement in the image instead just divides us more.

    People are struggling, and hearing someone say “I have it worse than you” is not helping. We have to be demanding our governments and political parties for solutions that address wealth inequality which is causing lower living standards and causing the general discontent.

  • There’s a very funny book called the Art of Procrastination, and his secret to deal with procrastination is to use other projects to procrastinate. That way you’re always working on a project, it may just not be the one deemed highest priority.
