he don't miss

Three-day work week and one-income family... for the Bezos family, anyway.

It could already be like this…..

Just a couple more tricks, then we're on our island babe.

....for just 5 trillion more dollars, we can develop a surgery to make jeff's eyes be the same size.

An extra .002 Bitcoin can give Jeff a name that isn't close to Jeffrey.

Edit: for a fun game, try finding real pictures of his eyes from 10+ years ago.

He used to look like a singular spectacled testicle with perpetual pink eye.

At critical social mass, humans have the ability to create their own orbit.

As if chucks of space dirt, the gravitationaly weak become mass for the masshole.

Classlisly gasly, the husks of once individuals become encapsulated not by strength or wisdom, but through social influence

Whats with his face and neck? He looks like roided up turkey.

This is the problem with unchecked capitalism. We had so many tech advances nobody should have to work more than 1hr per day anymore.

Now a person lives in suboptimal conditions and think why not work 2hrs to get a bigger flat. This person competes against all 1hr slackers and wins. Now another person comes along and grinds 3hrs and wins. The whole thing spirales up until living conditions are unbearable and you cant earn more.

Whats true: AI increases efficiency. Whats not true: efficiency gains will be handed through to the workers.

The advances we had since the 70's are crazy. Yet we went from single income to double income while not having enough for a home, children. So history speaks a different language than bezos.

For him and the other CEOs.

Nah. He's just looking for an excuse to dock your pay by 40%

No no trickle down economics works, just give me more tax breaks it'll come warm and salty.

he probably means this in an "oh no" way

Bear in mind this man is toying with the idea of running for president in 2028, and he would treat USA citizens the way he's been treating his Amazon employees. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.

Salty? Sounds worth going to the doctor to get that checked

Single income was normal two generations ago. It was taken from us because of greed.

AI does not increase efficiency in any way that I've seen

In the past it was more because of competition. It's not that companies started offering less, they just stopped increasing what they would offer, and still got the people they wanted. Because there is always someone more desperate.

More recently it's been greed. It shows up as sustained high profit margins you'll see primarily in tech companies. Outside of the tech industry the only issue is how long the market or government takes to correct it. Politics around the oil industry being an example.

Families being squeezed for more money pushes both adults into the workforce. Well if both work they can afford more rent, if they can afford more rent then the house is worth more to a landlord and the price goes up and up. Banks profit, landlords profit. You get fucked.

Even if you buy instead of rent, the banks are making more than ever on the higher interest that result from high housing costs.

Neither of these contribute anything of benefit to society. They don't build roads or improve the local community. Yet they benefit from the work of others who do by increasing the amount they take even more!

The word "could" taking on the role of Atlas.

Why does he look so roided up and red.

Divorce and mid life crisis hits hard I guess.

Honestly half of these billionaires are of mid life crisis age so that explains a lot.

Take web dev as an example. It can click through websites explorative. Test accessabillity. Do codereviews and prototype solutions.

Another of these bastards desperately trying to convince us AI is something good and something we need, fuck off!

Olay I have to note that using AI for accessibility testing is the MOST wrong take. Manual testing is REQUIRED to meet WCAG guidelines.

Think he got jaw implants or something.

Sometimes I'll get all miserable about something and it sort of helps seeing the richest folk in the world melt down.

All the money in the world can't help.

Yes but not for YOU.

A pitfall of surrounding yourself with too many yes-men is sounding like an idiot when you tread outside that circle.

AI has allowed many people a 0-day workweek already.

That would require either a massive unified movement of the people to fight for workers' rights and wealth redistribution, massive scaled and well designed goverment regulation, or employers to willingly decide to demand less of their employees and pay them more... by definition, a billionaire is incapable of saying "no... that's enough return on my investment". There is no way that they will willingly pay out more than they need to for anything, least of all for part time human labor.

Erm, we could already do this without AI :/

I could surgically attach wings and start to shit glitter.
I won't, but I could. It's more possible than anything Jeff Bozos just said.

As someone that was just forced to use Amazon's digital assistant for the items they said were delivered but weren't, I highly doubt the capability is where he is saying. (I am quitting Amazon, only used them a few times this year, not many options for some stuff out here in the country though.)

They are over their heads in investing in this, and they can't meet their hype.

You have that right. It's a problem with every rich that doesn't moderate it.

If you're spending more than 35$ shipping can be free anyway. It usually comes early too, sometimes only a day later than 2-day shipping.

Mine was ordered 2 weeks ago, and now it's another week, if they even come through. Scheduled delivery was 4 or 5 days.

Not the first time either. I'm not in the city though.

Love Gianmarco

ohh no no no, 3 day work weeks are coming.

Everyone works and is paid the minimum wage for 24 hours a week.

Sure, it could.

... and Bezos could double the pay of thousands of his employees for life and still make more than all of them combined.

But he won't

We already had one income families, and then capitalism stole it from us.

Now that women are part of the workforce, we need a 20 hour minimum workweek (with the same weekly minimum wage) to restore the workers rights we had 100 years ago.

Bezos hasn’t been the CEO of Amazon in half a fucking decade.

Midlife crisis? He’s 62 lol. Dudes old enough to start collecting social security.

Anyone who believes Bezos clearly doesn't understand how capitalism works. AI will allow rich people who already own the companies to increase productivity with fewer employees. Meaning, they will gain more money and have less reason to spend it. Without a drastically higher wealth tax which funds social programs, how are the working (read: redundant) class going to GET access to money? With what jobs?

Let me ask you this: back in more chauvinistic times, a family was expected to subsist entirely on a single salary: the husband's. Since women's lib doubled the workforce, have families become more or less able to afford necessities like housing? The economy doesn't adjust to make things easier for people. If the average household income doubles, households don't become more able to afford things. Prices just go up.

The people who already possess resources like property aren't gonna suddenly stop asking have-not newcomers for as much money as they can squeeze out of them. There's absolutely no aspect of capitalism that will ever lead to that outcome.

So if rich people who own businesses can make those businesses function with fewer employees, then they're not gonna just say "hey guys, I'm gonna pay you the same wages for only working 3 days, doubling my workforce and the amount I have to pay it". There's no reason for them to do so. None. Poor people will, instead, go jobless and be allowed to slowly die of any of many poverty-related causes.

Rich people only tolerate poor people because they need so many of us to do things for them. That's about to change.

Nationalize Amazon, Walmart and these other giant 'too big to fail' corporations. Then use those profits to fund UBI. If America wants to be a capitalist country, let's just make it one that actually works for all of the citizens.

Yes, but think what they can do in 7 days weeks with 3 income households.

man who destabilized small businesses around the world suddenly interested in helping working class

You're giving him credit for 3 more days per week than he works

Starting to look more like Dana White, made me do a double take.

Please make his head explode.

Disclaimer: peacefully hope for his already red head to become even more redder. Maybe some more pronounced veins. Heck, if one of them popped that'd be fine by me, too.
