Equivalencing value/money with people/speech (“labour” in CE, “Citizens United” in politics,) while forgetting that *humans* is what the whole system is to serve... creates monsters “above” humans, those entitled to the profit.
It’s OK, tho - you, too, can be a monster, if you apply yourself.

I mean... was the tank cover missing? I've had my libertine moments, but I wouldn't brag about the toilet bit... even if it *wasn't* the effing seat...

Union members, please start pushing your unions to push for universal basic income. We all need an unconditional floor and deserve a GDP dividend. Plus UBI would strengthen unions by functioning as a national strike fund for strikes of any duration, and even enable general strikes to be HUGE.

It seems we have LLMs/"AI” renting human agents to fulfill real-world tasks. There are people that will do anything for money, and there is nothing good that can come of this.
The “free market” will certainly not be up to sorting this one out.
