If you’ve been to Lichtenstein, you know the answer is yes. We have villages that are bigger. And the architecture there is eclectic.

Because we automatically compare the moon with objects on the horizon and they makes it look big in our mind, but if you objectively compare it to the entire sky it’s small.

Some CEO’s thought they could save a bundle and were eager to replace workers. Other CEO’s saw that, had to do a bunch of layoffs and knew saying “replaced with AI” instead of layoffs keeps stock prices high.

It’s Japan. Labor force is shrinking because not enough kids

Blaming it all on foreigners is tried already. It resulted in Brexit and that didn’t improve the situation

while running on matryoshka doll levels of bullshit and duplicit

That works all long as the world has enough cheap energy to sustain all that. It’s not like some idiot might block the world’s energy supply one day.

No, the capitalists know they need people. It’s a big worry for them. Companies have to grow, but you can’t grow your market if the number of consumers and workers goes down.

At the same time they know that anything to save people is expensive in short term. And they always choose short term first.

Some recruiters are not so great at judging people. Instead they come up with rules and red flags to justify their choice, or worse, get inspiration from other recruiters on LinkedIn.
