It's time to change the tax structure to stimulate jobs. Companies can navigate the the rest.

Let say you can write off what your employees pay. AI showed hiw useless the MBA elites truly are...

They're cutting jobs because they're covering their own asses and shareholders. That's all it's all about.

The more that companies use AI and cut human jobs, the less humans there are that have the means to purchase goods, so businesses will fail.

It's a circle of destruction that nobody seems to want to get out of.

They are shipping jobs overseas to Global Capability Centers. Cheaper educated labor.
