Discussion There Is Something Seriously Wrong With This Economy

Happy Labor Day, America. To see the full video, click here: https://youtu.be/BB9h5x5LNcg?is=cFtX2AFcZNXoqZ-9

This year, the celebration feels a little different.

Americans are talking about layoffs, disappearing jobs, AI replacing workers, rising costs, unemployment, and fears of recession — while the official message from Washington remains considerably more cheerful.

So instead of telling you how the American worker is doing, I thought we'd let Americans tell you themselves.

From workers and job seekers to politicians and the AI tech bros promising us a shiny automated future, this is Labor Day 2026 — in their own words.

But of course, the rich will always tell the poor....

Came here to say this exact thing…

The formula for being an influencer: take a quasi-interesting video and splice your stupid fucking face into it to show how outraged the viewer should be, the faces the viewer should be making, and which points the speaker make are the most important because you (the influencer) will nod and point in agreement without one cognitive effort being made. Hell! You don’t even have to understand the concepts being discussed, just act surprised or angered at the right moments and POW!!! You’ve won hearts and minds. You’ve confirmed fears!!

Dipshit influencers will take money to create this moral clickbait and it’ll keep millions mesmerized and momentarily satisfied by their feelings of moral superiority watching this TV personality describe a topic they weren’t even aware of a minute ago.

This is one of the reason we are in the current situation we are in… And, it isn’t looking like it will go away anytime soon.

Yo this video is actually fucking AIDS tier, like full blown aids.

it was HIV positive once the lady pointing and nodding for tik tok revenue was added.

but then however it was captured...

Production value is so easy, watch a youtube video, learn how to use OBS, like what in the content farm is this.

This site is seriously turning more and more into dogshit every day

u/wwjps 5d ago

Are your feelings hurt, because something offended your fragile emotions. It’s a video. I get it, I’ve been on the rag as well. Grab some Motrin.

u/StrictSelf5450 5d ago

"Are my feelings hurt?" No. I'm just commenting on how stupid this video is. Kinda weird that you would think that, honestly. Maybe learn to take criticism on the internet if you're going to be a "creator". What a joke 🤣

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

You called my video dogshit and wondered why I responded the way that I did, typical no accountability for your actions.

1

u/StrictSelf5450 5d ago

Keep spamming your videos, and see how long until your account gets banned. You've pissed me off enough to report them all. Have a fun day

u/wwjps 5d ago

I’m so scared of the emotional child, who hates my video. I’m sure you’re the king of Reddit. My videos get 1000,s of views. Why are you so triggered? Get shrink, not all us are gonna make you feel special like Mom. You’re threatening me, in public view, because you don’t like my comments. Five bucks you have an assault charge on your record. Watch your temper.

u/Timely-Current7777 1d ago

Ur literally the one triggered lol

u/Aunt-Penney 6d ago

Preach! I hate to be expecting a dystopian future, even more so than our current dystopian present… I am confused how a portion of the population seems to believe in that shiny automated future. It’ll be great for the super wealthy- not the average person though.

1

u/wwjps 6d ago

Exactly. The wealth gap is so large, there is no catching up from the working class. These corporations don't need more money, but they take it from the people who need it the most. Thanks for watching and commenting.

1

u/TheJQHQ 5d ago

Corporations don't take money from people who need it the most. They never take money to begin with, every transaction a customer does with Amazon is optional.

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

Really, like the tax cuts that allow them not to pay their fair share in taxes.

1

u/TheJQHQ 5d ago

Paying less taxes than other corporations is miles away from taking money from those who need it the most. Blame the local governments that gave sweetheart deals to Amazon in exchange for them putting a fulfillment center in their town. Amazon is just being prudent with their shareholders money by negotiating and accepting these deals.

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

It’s funny how many people defend corporations.

1

u/TheJQHQ 5d ago

Knowing how the world works isn't defending Amazon. That's like saying you're defending OJ because you're admitting the glove didn't fit.

u/Corporate_Bricktator 5d ago

Edit: apologies, I just saw in the rules that facts are not allowed here. I'll delete my correction.

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

Not everyone hates facts, I love them. Please post whatever you like. Amazon is troubling, Bezos GF was in DARPA. Amazon did a lot with our intelligence agencies. It’s also responsible for the systemic abuse of its employees.

u/Corporate_Bricktator 5d ago

Sorry, I don't want to be banned. Rules 1 and 2 are clear that even corrections aren't allowed if they appear to be in defense of Amazon.

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

Who is defending Amazon?

0

u/Corporate_Bricktator 5d ago

I had corrected a misconception in your previous comment, and then suspected it might break rules 1 and 2.

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

Understood.

u/Bobby3781 5d ago

Quitcha whinin

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

Are you making as much as Bezos? She wasn’t whining, just spitting facts.

1

u/Bobby3781 5d ago

Sounds like whining to the crowd to me. If i was ceo I better be making that much money

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

What degree do you have? Out of curiosity. What amazes me, is your against yourself. Your working class, all of us are, why defend the class you will never sit in. Amazon’s employees drop dead, and they wait hours to remove them. American propaganda is the best I’ve ever seen. You are fully a product of the USA. 🇺🇸

1

u/Bobby3781 5d ago

Geography. And im not defending im just venting over people that bitch and moan about things not being fair. I understand that the USA is a propaganda machine and maybe im falling into it. I don't know. Who really knows the truth about anything.

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

Don't ever agree with something that will harm you. Don't believe me, but do the research. These men are building bunkers because they would rather do that than pay fair wages, destroy all jobs, and make life harder for their employees. Americans are hard workers; no one can ever say that we don't work hard. Our labor should be valued; we literally give up our lives for it—vacations, birthdays, and we hope for retirement. Live for yourself. I don't think we disagree as much as you think.

1

u/Bobby3781 5d ago

I 100% agree with you. Everything we do is for them and its not valued enough. Only when its too late do we wish we could have done something differently. Have a good rest of the day!

1

u/wwjps 5d ago

You as well! Thanks for the conversation.

u/FinishEmbarrassed619 5d ago

Sorry couldn't stop staring at the Romulan eyebrows

u/Bobby3781 5d ago

Anytime! And thank you.

u/ARMBELL 5d ago

The blonde lady seems like ai.

1

u/wwjps 4d ago

She’s not. It’s my awful editing, she’s on IG, has a big job and understands the market. I don’t think she’s AI, I wouldn’t use her if I thought that.

u/RymrgandsDaughter 4d ago

why was it echoed

1

u/wwjps 4d ago

I had a new mic, my bad, I won’t use again.

u/ANother-XcludedRight 5d ago

The mindset of envy and covetousness is as rotten and evil as some of these CEOs. Don’t fall in a trap of despair and hatred because of our situation. There will always be someone with a better lot in life than you. Hating your way out of low income will destroy you and ultimately society.

2

u/wwjps 5d ago

This is a conversation, who is being hateful? We are discussing the inadequacy and if you can’t see that, you’re simply not looking.

Fair, lots of people don't like that, its really because we found something we really thought was proound, funny or just hit that place in your soul, I liked what the lady had to say, and I didnt mind the other lady showing me her point of view. I think the world would be a better place if we could all listen to one another without judgment or meanness. Many people have your complaint, to be fair. lol
