TIL that the majority of Americans believe that private businesses owe them employment. Imagine being so entitled.

  > A majority of people, 55% of all those surveyed, supported the statement “tech companies should not be able to make unlimited profits from AI and should be held financially responsible for American jobs that AI eliminates.

Your thinking is a dangerous line to start down.

A business does not owe anybody employment.

Businesses, as a whole, as a piece of society, owe members of society employment.

This is a foundational stone of modern civilization, and when government doesn't act to protect it from the complex forces of our developing world, people will kill over it.

insane. the purpose of employment is exchanging labor for wages. if you labor is useless no one owes you anything.

being useless is your fault.

		We might all find ourselves become “useless”. If we don’t like it, a drone might come to our door to correct our behavior. What do we do when most can’t trade their labor for money?
