we have somehow constructed a future where everyone is starved for labor and yet the robots are coming to unemploy us all. so many folks close to me have been looking for work for **years** with no luck, people who i'd love to put to work full-time on any of a million critical efforts, but none of us controls the capital to purchase labor, and owning someone else's labor sketches us all the hell out because we only sell our labor because the alternative is death.

late capitalism is so bizarre
