Everytime I see new images of our Earth I keep thinking of this soviet anti-war poster by Boris Rogachevsky that says "There's no other home!"
I think it's really sweet
THE ECONOMY ISN’T BROKEN
It’s working exactly as designed.
You were told: “GDP growth = prosperity.”
Here’s the 2025 reality:
4.3% GDP growth.
$166 billion in corporate profits.
4.6% unemployment.
0% real income growth.
The economy grew.
You didn’t.
This isn’t a bug.
This is the feature.
The 20th century ran on a deal:
Your labor = their profit = your paycheck.
That deal is over.
Productivity now routes around workers.
AI handles the tasks.
Shareholders collect the gains.
You compete for what’s left.
KPMG’s chief economist on this data:
“I’ve never seen anything like it.”
40% of employers are planning AI workforce cuts.
Entry-level hiring in AI-exposed jobs: down 13%.
The Fed is cutting rates into a boom.
Why?
Because they know what the headline won’t tell you:
The jobs aren’t coming back.
The growth doesn’t need you.
The system isn’t broken.
It evolved past you.
By 2027, “jobless growth” won’t be an anomaly.
It’ll be the model.
The golden age is real.
It’s just not yours.
I finally made prints of my recreation of Caravaggio's 'Judith Beheading Holofernes' done in Kid Pix Studio on Mac OS 7.5 using a mouse. https://t.co/1JCSL3u3RG
Bernie Sanders just said it plain:
“Tonight, Democrats voted with Republicans to raise healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans and pave the way to kick 15 million off Medicaid. 60,000 will die every year, so the rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.”
This was a betrayal of working people.
Had this idea for a project and setting about scientific research of spooky/weird/unreal stuff, where the storytelling would be done through fictional publications. Something like "What if black mesa was publishing peer-reviewed papers?"
