So the almost 10 to 1 population ratio has nothing to do with it? Or everything is about money or your perceived ability to make money? On what quality of life metric is the U.S. categorically better than Canada?

AI is eating the service economy.

@allenakinkunle Don’t forget parents. The school they could afford to send you to and the kind of information, ideas, and individuals you were exposed to as a result. The strength of their networks. The calls they could make to open a door you didn’t even know existed let alone knock on.

May 3, 1979: Margaret Thatcher elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. November 4, 1980: Ronald Reagan elected President of the United States. Between them, they: 1. crushed unions 2. deregulated finance 3. gutted public services 4. ensured housing became a speculative asset 5. convinced half the world that greed was a virtue and the absolute worst: 6. promoted the very notion that the government ACTUALLY helping its own people was a terrible idea. Wages have been flat and inequality has been skyrocketing. This wreckage we’ve been living in ever since is THEIR LEGACY. Roughly 70% of the world’s current population were born in 1981 and later, i.e. aged 45 and under. SEVENTY PERCENT! Only about 10-11% of the people alive today WORLDWIDE could’ve theoretically voted Ronald Reagan/Margaret Thatcher in 1979-80, i.e. 64 years and older. TEN PERCENT. This means that, theoretically, if everyone everywhere on the planet could’ve voted Reagan and Thatcher, that would mean that NINETY PERCENT (!) of the people alive today, did not even get a say in the present state of affairs. NINETY PERCENT of the world today inherited the legacy that these two left behind. NINETY PERCENT of the world’s current population are living a life they did not choose, did not participate in, fighting in wars they do not want, for borders they did not create, paying debts they did not incur, in a system that was designed (before they were even born, I might add) to make sure they’d never have enough to question it. These two had an outsized impact far exceeding their national borders. The ideas they put out into the world, such as “public services MUST turn a profit” for example, has, so far, become bulletproof. That idea has taken hold around the world even if it benefits no one except the leaders’ billionaire friends and donors. Reagan launched the War on Drugs, mandatory minimums, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, and the explosion of mass incarceration that saw the US prison population roughly double during the 1980s. He explicitly framed crime as a moral failure, not a symptom of poverty or despair. Thatcher expanded police powers with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, crushed the miners’ strike with paramilitary-style policing, and increased law enforcement spending while simultaneously slashing the social safety net. Her famous line, “there is no such thing as society”, was that entire philosophy in one sentence. If there’s no society, there are no systemic causes of crime, only bad individuals who need to be punished. The cruel irony is that they cut the programs that prevent crime (housing, education, mental health, employment) and then built the apparatus to punish the people those cuts failed. It became a self-fulfilling policy loop. Defund prevention, criminalise the consequences, then point to rising crime as proof you need even more police and prisons. So, to answer your question more directly, the exact moment when everything started getting noticeably worse is May 4, 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became prime minister of the United Kingdom and it got accelerated even further on January 20, 1981, the day Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president of the United States.

@allenakinkunle That’s because the so called “staunch advocates” slide into defence and their entire defence becomes rooted in the fear of outsiders rather than the confidence in their own traditions.

@allenakinkunle Fam. I get you. You have to find a way to channel that energy into community organising. These people clamouring for Reform, AfD, RN, FPÖ, PVV, Fdl, etc, are really only frustrated and these people are taking advantage of that: telling them what they want to hear, but no plan.

@ImadeIyamu Yup! Every. Single. Time. It never fails. 😂 Because if you’re really using AI like you claim you are, it should be enabling you to do more and accelerating new growth and opening up new verticals. AI, as we have it today, should actually increase your headcount. But alas!

This was always the plan. It was just a matter of time. They gradually built the pipeline, the technical infrastructure and the capacity, and eventually they built more capacity than they would ever need. They did it with AWS, ads and FBA. Good luck to Fedex, UPS and DHL.

@allenakinkunle @ImadeIyamu He’s trying to get some goodwill. It is image-laundering. They are trying to IPO and they cannot afford to have a CEO who’s not at least “sympathetic” in the public eye. In other news, they might not be able to pay their bills 🙃 https://t.co/G1NT5phZxD
