Until the libs turn around and scream that we're killing off peoples jobs and blah blah. Then they'd get to "How could Labor allow AI to do that?" and then sky news would do a whole segment on it convincing the NIMBYs that we are the enemy and a potato would never allow that to happen.
Do you have an alternative proposal? I'm all ears.
Sadly no
The blockade of the WEF in 2000, the blockades of the stock exchanges on May Day in 2001, Adbusters call to 'Occupy Wall St' were all just wild ideas nobody knew would have such an impact. Everybody says we gotta do something about Murdoch and it ends up being left to politicians and 'leaders'. Maybe Murdoch's empire is just a house of cards that needs a push.
I can't believe were at the point of relying on our elected officials to lead the country. truly a black (and ironic) day.
Maybe one day our elected leaders will actually do some leading, rather than pandering to people in their pockets (and I'm not talking about one or another political party, they're all shit). Whats the alternative at the moment? I don't know. Meritocracy has some useful features, but it's historic applications have not worked out so well long tern and sometimes devolves into socialism or is abused to create substantive inequality. History has alot of great examples of where different alternatives have not worked...
I wish!
