“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

    More people are working right now in the United States than at any other time in our history.

    The same can be said year on year every single year (except 2020) due to population and economic growth.

    What he doesn’t say is that the divergence between the average wage and the cost of living has never been greater. So, while more people are available to work, they are earning less per hour in bread and bricks than they were 5, 10, 15, 20 (etc.) years ago.

      Did your parents do insane amounts of coke, rape children and utterly ignore their health in pursuit of porkish hedonism? Then go for high stress bullshit with a family history of dementia?

        And do they also have late stage syphilis? Why is nobody talking about that one, it’s obvious. The patchy hair loss, the blemishes, the cognitive decline, the bizarre thick facial makeup. You know why the French covered their faces and hands with that thick white lead based paint back in the 1700s and wore wigs? Because of syphilis.

        It fits the timeline perfectly if you consider how he was living in the 80’s-90’s, and how obviously he would never go have it checked out because he’s a narcissistic piece of dumb shit.

        (It also tangentially explains Trump’s bizarre emotional affiliation with the late great Alphonse Capone)

          Fun fact: we can even cure late stage syphilis nowadays. Well, eradicate it from the body. The damage it caused will persist. Including cognitive.

        Only if Americans accept that instead of doing what they should, which is arrest them all and do to them what your precious constitution says should happen to traitors who commit treason.

    They want artificial employees to discipline the labor market but what they will get instead is a deskilled labor force and business structures that are even more resistant to adaptation.

      Can’t you picture him and Stephen PeeWee Himmler Miller browsing the Google images together, looking for ideas for his Frankenbattleship?

      “Oooh, look at that one. Wicked cool, right? I want something like that, but with bigger guns. And more of’em. And lots of real gold. All those other assholes got yachts, but I got a Trump-class battleship!”

    what is the actual rate of unemployment within the technology industry? surely it’s higher than any of the numbers that are being reported by the government.

    if I run out of money before finding a job, I’m killing myself

      Everything is higher than the government reports.

      Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.

        It was propaganda before, it didn’t include people who were working a handful of hours and unable to support themselves and unemployed who said they weren’t actively seeking a job.

        Trump’s issue wasn’t that it was intentionally deceptive, only that the lies weren’t far enough from reality.

          I feel like “the job market sucks so hard that I gave up looking” definitely should be included in the report if it’s supposed to be any real indication of economic health
