The trouble is that the majority of companies are run by greedy parasites that have no value for their workforce. After seeing these parasites give themselves massive bonuses at the expense of laying off 50 odd staff in my company during the pandemic, I find it difficult being optimistic and aligning my thoughts with your opinion.

Then there's AI itself. No one knows what it will decide to do once it breaks free from its cage.

Sad. 60 feels so young still.

Honestly, I think this China covid situation is propaganda, maybe to affect the supply issue as it has, which drives up inflation and cost of living and unemployment. Then, when the global economy crashes, the WEF and their cabinet members can introduce a new economic model (WEF have said they want economic change), which will be driven by digital IDs and digital currency (CBDC), which countries across the world such as NZ, Canada and Brazil announced signing up for (with some already having launched and others in the R&D phase).

I say this after the first pandemic, China shortly went completely quiet about its stats. I remember China reaching 88k deaths or cases n then there was radio silence. Because it's an authoritarian state and can tell/hide whatever it likes. So when they want to tell us something, it's certainly for some State gain. Smoke n mirrors.

This shit is gonna kick off a lot sooner than people think. Therefore, it's no surprise the WEF mouthpiece Yuval Harari is already telling people that many will become useless and "redundant" as the 4th industrial revolution takes over. He then "jokingly" proposes drugs and video games for the jobless. It is no joke.
