“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

    “Trump, Old Fuck, Rants Incoherently About Some Random Topic” is one of the most tiring headlines.

    More people are working right now in the United States than at any other time in our history.

    The same can be said year on year every single year (except 2020) due to population and economic growth.

    What he doesn’t say is that the divergence between the average wage and the cost of living has never been greater. So, while more people are available to work, they are earning less per hour in bread and bricks than they were 5, 10, 15, 20 (etc.) years ago.

    what is the actual rate of unemployment within the technology industry? surely it’s higher than any of the numbers that are being reported by the government.

    if I run out of money before finding a job, I’m killing myself

      Everything is higher than the government reports.

      Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.

        It was propaganda before, it didn’t include people who were working a handful of hours and unable to support themselves and unemployed who said they weren’t actively seeking a job.

        Trump’s issue wasn’t that it was intentionally deceptive, only that the lies weren’t far enough from reality.

          I feel like “the job market sucks so hard that I gave up looking” definitely should be included in the report if it’s supposed to be any real indication of economic health

      Then we’d have President Vance and first Mistress Kirk. This cancer is going to take a while to cut out if it doesn’t outright kill us.

        Cult leaders need charisma and couchfucker ain’t got it. He might end out pres in that hypothetical but he wouldn’t have the implied maga threat behind him Trump does so I think he’d get a lot less of the agenda pushed.

            If you’re going by Nazi standards, Vance’s wife is a lower Aryan, and Trump is the race mixer with his subhuman Slavic whores.

            If you’re going by traditional American WASP standards, none of them are white.

          Vance doesn’t need Trump’s cult, he doesn’t need to win any elections. He’s the chosen figurehead for the Catholic neo-feudalists that are using Trump to take over, and is already in place to succeed.

      Id love to give robots my job, if all my needs were met and I could do art all day.

      Of course, what it actually means is none of my needs will be met and I will be put into a private prison or an incinerator.

        I don’t understand people who hope for help from the government in our times, because we are like a rag for it, with which it wipes its snot and throws it in the garbage.

        Nah, 1.0 was only better because he spent the whole time figuring out wtf to do. He didn’t even know he had to hire his own cabinet. 2.0 is the result of those four years of realizing the power and protection of the position, and another four of teams of knowledgeable people working hard to make sure this term would be the last they’d ever need.

          It’s less that he personally learned anything and more that the Heritage Foundation did, he’s only following their playbook.
