   reading up on the news stack.
   
   some real retardo shit like trump going on about how "he knows everything about automation" and "its not worth the harm," or, tl;dr, the recurring politician obsession with "jobs."
   
   CEOs may be meat automatons to make stock tickers go up, and politicians seem to be meat automatons for "number of jobs."
   
   they might as well just pay people 1$ an hour to stare at dirt, because it would create an infinite number of jobs for the entire country. it would also be completely pointless. just like doing a job that a robot can automate simply to have a job to do. and then requiring someone do that job, which could be automated, because your job is your value as a human.
   
   we remain stuck in an invalid precept.

     I know a federal employee who, the last time we spoke, was being paid far more to watch #Suits at home with her friend while taking care of her (adopted?) son.

     #DOGE is going to have very negative effects on upcoming job reports IMHO.
