Every time I am stressed by work, I think of this obnoxious work "ethic", and I feel better.
In other news, what happened to AI? Isn't it supposed to make life easier? Work for one weekend day, no health insurance, etc - we back to preindustrial oligarchy, fam?
I interviewed at one AI startup that basically was doing this. From what I could tell, they were feeling pressured to get something out fast since there is so much money and competition.
What was odd was that they were already doing this for about 6 months and needed people who could build things, the founder was very frustrated. Technically it looked like there were severely over complicating their code base (I never saw it, this was just based on discussions) and needed people to fix their perf issues/etc, which AI is very bad at.
It really feels like the purpose of AI is realizing the capitalist's dream of the perpetual value machine which would solve the problem of human labor.
I suspect the GP meant the working class are being tricked into thinking the "illegals, poors and ethnics" are the evils that are holding the working class back by Republicans.
Nevermind the fact that casual bigotry against working class people (blue collars and uneducated are too dumb to know what is good for them) is just as repugnant as what you thought they meant.
I meant more that the elite corpo classes of society need to become class traitors and help workers. Nick Hanauer is the only person in living memory that I would consider to be an actual class traitor and champion of the people.
His involvement in the "Fight for $15" movements have literally lifted people out of poverty through substantial lasting democratic change.
I can't think of another person like him, if you know one please share their name because their stories need to be shared.
