Progressives “We should tax the richest a little bit more in a way that they can’t get out of and by a small enough amount that they won’t really notice the increase day-to-day, and spent that on public services”

AI is already running out of jobs to destroy, so it's having to create them first...
Meta *literally just* fired 3600 people earlier this year so they could "focus on AI," and now they're firing *600* of their "AI" people? That does Not sound like a company that knows what the fuck it's doing.

"Unlike the vacuum cleaner, the radio, or the bicycle, which retain their use value when everyone has one, the car... is only desirable and useful insofar as the masses don’t have one."

A real post from the Labour Party Facebook page.
The replies are all people going "didn't you say 'island of strangers'?" or "you hate our flag". So it's still going fantastically well for the party of Change.

My timeline is choked with exhortations to spend £34 on 8 boxes of breakfast cereal - BREAKFAST CEREAL - and the main selling point appears to be "We USED to charge £71 for 8 boxes of breakfast cereal!!!"
I'm not 100% blameless myself, but the hipster economy is going rapidly insane.

In about 1998, the internet started to get nostalgic for how the pre-internet world had worked.
By 2010, there was nostalgia for how the early internet had worked.
In 2024, there are now social media memes evoking nostalgic recall of... previous social media memes.
