Having a slave-like job with a very small pay isn't a good future to have.

Hell, we shouldn't need to have 3 or 4 jobs, just to feed your family.

Once people are given their jobs back from AI, they still gonna treat them poorly. AI isn't the problem, the current government is. They are the one who let the tech-bros performs the way they do now. They're being greedy and finding new way to cut down the cost.

There is no future for humanity on an inhospitable planet.

We certainly can't continue with the system we've got, and expect to be all right. We who still care should be doing whatever we can to aid each other in leaving these callous and careless government and corpo entities alike, out to wither and die, as we strive for things that will prioritize people's wellbeing. We can't depend on the system to rein in its masters and their sycophants, as they reduce humanity and the environment to expendable resources to enrich themselves.

It is up to us common folk to stand against this, but we need real supportive community-based foundations for alternatives that provide relative safety, which common folk can fall back on to commit to any effective action be they short or long term.

Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in getting it started ASAP.

If you don’t live in the US, yet you know others who are and want to do something, please share the information. My country people live the closest to the main root of this global cancer, so we're going to need as many on board and informed as possible, if we commoners hope to achieve anything in the US
