I believe in the common good and other stuff.

@KingGoldark @mattyglesias of course I said the opposite of this. But what do you care about the truth?

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@KingGoldark @mattyglesias lol, the people you are talking about voted for Bernie by large margins. Stop conflating support for Jews and Israel. Very little anti-semitism in the Democratic Party.

@binarybits @john_malone I think to truly understand the backlash against AI you have to go to people/areas negatively impacted by automation from 1970-2010. This is not not just about ideology.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@binarybits @john_malone I have personally found more usedul to get perspectives not from other college educated people with different ideologies, but more to try and talk to people with out a college degree about the economy.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@binarybits @john_malone I am curious do you have a lot of interaction with working class people who have been negatively impacted by deindustrialization?

@mbaharaeen Trump is a convicted felon, yet he got way more than 24% of the vote. Not sure why you would trust these polls.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@HumanProgress Nice try, Cato Institute. Your graph counts only paid work, so a lot of the "decline" is just women's unpaid housework moving into the paid economy and finally getting counted — not work actually disappearing.

@cafreiman of course you don't bother to include the nearly 14.5 million checkouts (often ebook) plus other extensive digital/virtual services, databases, and programming.

@trumwill @ModeledBehavior maybe not AI, but automation is really a big source of fewer teen jobs in the food service industry.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@ngoldschlag @ModeledBehavior Lol, more like this.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@ModeledBehavior Last summer my local ice cream shop replaced most of of their teen workers with a digital kiosk. Maybe it is not "AI", but technology is certainly replacing workers in food services.

@Desert__Swarm @JesseKellyDC Dude, you clearly have never been to Oslo.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@JoseonOne @Ask_Lou @JesseKellyDC This is it. In the USA we only count a death as heat related if that is what is reported on the autopsy. So when a heat wave hit OR/WA/BC most of the deaths were heat related - heat attacks, drownings, etc. but only in Europe would they be properly counted.

@armsq17 @InTheGrottoes @swinshi The problem with the AEI chart is that it does not look at median wages.

The smaller gap there mostly reflects that compensation shifted toward higher earners and benefits (especially health insurance), so the aggregate looks better than the typical worker’s experience.

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@armsq17 Did the median worker share in productivity gains? The answer is clearly no — particularly post-1979, and particularly for non-managerial workers.

@alvinfoo @Vanarchain Do you know how we got a 40 hour work week? Despite huge advances in productivity big business fought workers every inch of the way.

@Stotty67 @RichardHanania @CliffordAsness lol, not all Yanks!

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@bill_borgiel @pfinanceblogs @RichardHanania lol, that is why West Virginia works so well?

[Noah Heller @noahheller]

@chrisdbbradley @econcallum Hmm.. there was a lot more energy and capital in 1850 than 1400!

You could argue industrial capitalism was hard till the people organized and fought back against capital.
