If govt requires a job for public assistance, then govt should GUARANTEE those people jobs.

Postal banking will never happen, BigFinance owns Congress, and Repugs have been murdering USPS for 10+ years with the 2075 pension obligations, part of the oligarchy's effort to kill everything in govt, or govt-controlled like USPS, EXCEPT those parts of govt that enrich the oligarchy.

the Rupugs. the oligarchy.

Rather than state, local and federal governments giving corporations billions annually in tax carve-outs and incentives, why not cut out the middleman?

[boutons_deux]

automation, AI or not, will kill a 10Ms of US jobs, pushing people into debt, into near or absolute poverty.

Is the oligarchy worried, the oligarchy that takes 95% of ALL gains in GDP and wealth? no. They got theirs

I vaguely remember somebody on this forum saying some along the lines of “I’m not doing your research for you, look it up yourself”.

But start with Thomas Paine.
