US senator appears at Manhattan rally alongside New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, who cautioned that AI is ‘coming for human jobs’
Bernie Sanders has sounded an alarm over the US economy, warning “the worst is yet to come” unless workers overcome a “ruling class” of billionaires.
The US senator spoke at a rally in Manhattan on Sunday alongside Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, who cautioned that artificial intelligence was “coming for human jobs” amid mounting concern over the technology’s rapid development.
As the pair headlined the launch of Union Now, a new drive to boost labor unions across the US, Sanders issued a bleak assessment of the consequences if workers fail to organize against billionaires like Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX; Jeff Bezos, executive chair of Amazon; and Donald Trump, the US president.
They’re eager to eliminate the only means of resource acquisition we were left with, employment, the one we all depend on to stay alive, and don’t really think very much about what we’ll do when mass unemployment destroys lives and kills people.

The reason these Sociopathic Oligarchs are so giddy about AI, to the point of investing corporation destroying amounts of money, is because they are so excited about replacing so many disgusting human workers with clean, tireless, obedient robots.
That’s the bottom line - they are pushing AI so hard at your job because they want it to get good enough to replace you.
The Great Replacement Theory is real, it’s just not Jews or undocumented immigrants you have to worry about, it’s yourself. YOU are training your own replacement.
And yet they want us to have many kids just in case it doesn’t work. They have no regard for human lives and could care less if anyone beneath them suffers and dies. They need to have their wealth and power cut down to size or it will become reality…
They can make the robots do the expensive jobs and throw the human meat at labour tasks. And we just let it happen.
Right now, billionaires are generally a bunch of human losers propper up by other human losers. And we’re letting them run away with it to where, in a few decades or less, they’ll have a more genuine capacity for violence by controlling machines to the enforcement for them. It seems like no amount of media showing how this always goes will be enough to get people to stop powering up their own demise.
All because they want slaves one way or another. Human or not.
“The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
— Oscar Wilde
It’s the stupidest thing since they’re fighting against UBI at the same time. Robots taking everyone’s jobs should be a utopian future to look forward to, but instead they’re creating a situation that’s universally bad for everyone including themselves. When nobody is employed and nobody has any source income, who’s going to give the oligarchs more money via consumerism?
I know a lot of billionaires want to bring back a tech-flavoured version of feudalism where they live
likeas actual kings but even medieval peasants were given some form of bread and circus to keep them from rising up.Billionaires right now are on track to create a duel between millions to billions of poor and hungry people against the tiny number of them. Without bread and circuses, the people have nothing to live for except overthrowing their oppressors
They seem to be convinced that we can no longer revolt against them. Only time will tell if they are correct if nothing stops them
in so many things it just gets me how these things should be utopian but are dystopian because of powerful folks coopting and exploiting them. I should love smartphones and drones and ai and such rather than despising it all.
We all wanted Star Trek… but what we’re really going to get is The Expanse
One thing about playing cyberpunk 2077 is it feels so creepily close. Especially all the homelessness and the way the rental buildings worked.
Bernie Sanders knows what he’s talking about, and I agree with him; for example, he wants to eliminate The FED, which is the cause of a lot of our economical problems and wealth inequality.
I’d go into details, but there’s a mod or two here who thinks that “bubble burst, buy low, inflation, bubble burst, buy low, inflation” could be a conspiracy theory or something (no joke). So, just look at the history of The Fed, what it was founded to do, and what it has done, instead.
You won’t hear much about this in HuffPo or FOX or any other media conglomerate for obvious reasons.
Perhaps check out who has been on the board for the fed, and who they worked for before and after their term? It’s very interesting. This is public information.

But don’t tell anybody, it’s a BIG SECRET
Hey asshole with the gun thinking of shooting up a school or grocery store,you could actually be a hero if you target billionaires.
Plus, I’m told when they are shot coins explode out of them. Free coins!!
I’d love to see Bernie repeal the special law that Congress put into place to prevent people from looking up private plane information.
How would a single senator repeal a bill?
By introducing a bill to repeal it.
They can’t wait to force everyone into abject poverty.
They’re already doing this systemically on a massive scale.
I’ve lost 2/3rds of my department at my job to AI. It’s amazing how bad things are getting… The content the AI spits out is horrific, but CEO’s and executives are firing people left and right anyway, drunk on the bonuses they are likely receiving as a result.
