@countyhwy Just started reading it. 35 pages in. Great opening. In an charming coincidence was reading the part about the flood in Wisconsin on June, 9 2008 on June 9, 2026. Edgy. Smart.
Needed some yard debris hauled from hacking down a lilac bush in rough condition. First estimate: $275. Seemed crazy. Second estimate: $500. A friend's truck: 0. Took half an hour total loaded, to the dump, and unloaded. I believe people should be paid fairly for their labor but wow. Feel bad for people who are alone in this world without a friend with a truck.
@itskahuna@WallStreetApes It's a strange combination to have a cultural discourse mix of "the robots are taking all the jobs" and shoving in many cases unskilled labor into a side-hustle, multi-job, K-shaped economy job market.
@itskahuna@WallStreetApes Cash vs food stamps. Work requirements for food stamps. Got it. Having a baby in a broke ass household in a crap economy for food stamps and to avoid 10 hrs/wk(?) in work requirements? Posting it? I have doubts. The money math is bad. But it's stupid world in many ways.
A word should evolve for AI shame, for like when a person uses AI for something & AI is wrong or made things up & it's recognized & called out & some public humiliation or embarrassment is involved.
