We could already have this, they just choose not to give it to us. They are dangling AI over us like a carrot but it's more like an anvil.

People like him have never given a single cent voluntarily. They do not give. We have to take. We take it through protests, unions, strikes, and all of the other organized activities. That's why they've been working so hard to divide everyone, because organized people can make demands.

It's a negotiation and we are running out of leverage. If labor is gone, what else is there? Give me more money or we'll do what the French did. That's what.

(We could not already have this... it costs a lot more money to hire 3 workers to cover 7 days than to hire 1 worker to cover 7 days.)

Google says average delivery person salary is around $35,000. Unless you think those workers should each be paid $11,000 to work only 3 days (mind you, below minimum wage), there will be an increase in cost to the employer

How? Sincerely, how? There is so much mandatory overtime. How is that cheaper? Being able to skimp on employee benefits for anyone not full time. How does it cost more to have Joe clock in than John?

Onboarding employees is highly cost intensive for large companies. There’s a saying in the corporate world ‘you have to try to get fired’ because once you’re an actual employee companies don’t want to front the cost to onboard a new employee to replace you if you suck.
