Yeah it's been happening for a couple three years now. I was a a UI engineer for 12 years, got laid off after training a team of Serbians to do my job, couldn't find work for a year and a half and ended up switching career paths entirely.

Is it just me or is this just generally the attitude the porks push on Americans?

porky-happy: “Your dream is to work a job? Why? The browns and my AI will do the work for you! You should all become self-employed plumbers! Everyone should be a little individual businessman and nothing else!”

yes, because it realigns the worker into a petite bourgeois class position unless/until they are reproletarianized by the bourgeoisie proper. home/land ownership as the primary means of developing wealth serves a similar purpose as does tying retirement to stonks-up

This (and the post in general) sounds eerily familiar to the current state of filmmaking in America. To anyone pivoting from compsci, DO NOT go into any portion of movie/tv production/postproduction just because they have a union
