Don't forget all the people who are going to lose their jobs and attached HEALTHCARE to AI.

I wonder if it will be 5% of jobs? Or more. Does anyone know the estimates for job cuts in the coming years from AI? That's a lot of people who would need healthcare through the ACA markets in the years to come. And if Trump replaces Obamacare with something that allows pre-existing conditions to be denied care then those newly unemployed will be f***ed.

Employees cost $80-100k per year, plus taxes and benefits. To do the work of one employee, AI costs 50 cents a day. In 3 years we won't recognize work. They promise everything will be run by AI, but please .... the distribution system? Farming, dockworkers? Picking and packing? Walmart? Ho do they get from employees with wages to consumers with non-employed income? STIM-A-Month plan?

...an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence.

A slower version of the Holodomor?
