haha, Rachel Maddow show? are you for real. the russian collusion nut case and staunch anti trumper!

So Trump wasn’t mercilessly booed?

It now transpires that Sunak called this election while the Tories have an almost 200 candidate deficit.

As for a manifesto, he’s dream it up as he goes.

 Even your beloved CNN are starting to see the absurdity of trusting a man who admits to stealing.
 

 

I’ve not watched CNN for over ten years.

So remind me, are CNN on the jury?

Defo the service industry is v keen on automation. Wages and pensions costs make it a no brainier. Largest online only supermarket and leading retail  tech group here moved to its new updated & automated warehouse a few months ago, cut its warehouse positions by 1200 then cut half its head office support depts by 25%.  Only dept that grew was delivery drivers. Large retail brands from Banks to all high street names  are closing their doors and or cutting locations. It'll only continue.. The gig economy is also on borrowed time, copywriters, artists, travel agents & translators defunct & gone v soon. Translators  will very soon even cope with Issan, Bronx & Scouse slang no problem . 

 

Pretty sure trades and jobs that require specific critical thinking and adaptive skills such as Plumbing, Decorating, General Builders, Handyman & Landscaping/Gardeners will be ok for some time due to the complexity &  variety. Auto Mechanics & most shop/ office staff wont fare well I agree and so many others. From highly paid executives to the cashier   Anyone in accounting/payroll & half of office depts will vanish as will much of the middle management and executives along with them.  Many highly paid professional sectors especially services consulting  will have to retrain in something they dont understand or likely enjoy or be unemployed. About 50% of over 40s will not or cannot make that change that late in their career/life. 

 

Teachers/tutors will be replaced by a personal AI tutor able to both relate and never ridicule or lose patience with the child, or adult. Each to their own ability and pace and at the same time being a mentor will also become their confidant and therapist. Possibly their  personal doctor too.  AI is already increasingly used in diagnosing conditions and can spot things on xrays & tests the best doctors cannot. All of it on an app or program you can take with you anywhere, on any platform and will write its own migration software to do so. Theres already some mind blowing tech and start ups out there using AI to create agents to self improve and specialise and they arnt going to get anything but better.. 

 

And yes people have not made enough noise early enough and responsible for allowing it but then most everyone has no clue of its scope and influence already, being far too wrapped up in life, paying the bills, dealing with the usual stuff and on the wheel to pay much attention other than happily accept any convenience thrown at them... .. alas most would rather tap and go etc until they cant on what they want only what they are sanctioned to buy, where an when, just as Thailand's proposed digital handout will be.  

 

The only thing I can see that will slow things down would  be a  crash in the global power grids from something like a solar storm frying a large % of everything electrical  which ofc would cause instant chaos riots & mayhem in turn. Or more likely as economies attempt to transition use anything to distract the populous such as regional wars etc.

 

Be well m8 im glad im not 18 today thats for sure. 

 I’ll make three predictions.

AI will strip more wealth from ordinary working people and funnel it to the already hyper wealthy.

Any proposals to address this and particularly proposals around taxation and regulation will be opposed by many amongst those who are themselves and/or their children are losing out to AI.

AI will not replace cap doffers and forelock tuggers.

Oh, the Tory basher has turned up..........🙄

 

But, I bet you are looking forward to Angela Rayner at the despatch box, trying to control her pub chat lingo............😂

If you go to the top of the thread and read the OP  you’ll find it’s a Tory PM Sunak topic.

Smart move by Joe.

 

He clearly has a lot to hide. The "forgetful Grandpa" defense is hardly convincing. 

Given the transcripts of his testimony are already published, what has he got to hide?

Maybe Labour could introduce National Service get a few people off the dole 🥳

By calling anyone with a different opinion to her, Deplorable?

 

There's a difference between insulting millions of the electorate and speaking up for yourself. 

 

Hardly intelligent, as the election results showed. 

 

It's the type of behaviour I'd expect from two housewives arguing in Costco. 

 

 

She wasn’t insulting the electorate, she was identifying deplorables within Trump’s base.

Subsequent events demonstrated and continue demonstrate her assessment to be correct.

Hillary - just like several posters on this forum and this post, just cannot get over that Trump won (fairly).

I am looking forward to their reactions when Trump wins again.

But I am even more looking forward to what Trump is going to do to the corrupt Dems and RINOs.

And to all their supporters/enablers like NATO and UN and all the 'funders' like Soros etc.

Trump has had 4 years of planning and getting things ready - he is going to start running like an SR-71 Blackbird at full speed.

 

 

 

 

 

He’s falling apart by the day.

Nowadays, disrespecting and pissing off half the US population seems to be the Democrat go-to.  Or, at least the DNC Elite.  The party of unity... 

 

JFK is rolling over in his grave.

 

You have seen which Party is backing legislation that singles out half the electorate on the basis of their gender?
