Yeah it's been happening for a couple three years now. I was a a UI engineer for 12 years, got laid off after training a team of Serbians to do my job, couldn't find work for a year and a half and ended up switching career paths entirely.

    This (and the post in general) sounds eerily familiar to the current state of filmmaking in America. To anyone pivoting from compsci, DO NOT go into any portion of movie/tv production/postproduction just because they have a union

    Is it just me or is this just generally the attitude the porks push on Americans?

    porky-happy: “Your dream is to work a job? Why? The browns and my AI will do the work for you! You should all become self-employed plumbers! Everyone should be a little individual businessman and nothing else!”

    yes, because it realigns the worker into a petite bourgeois class position unless/until they are reproletarianized by the bourgeoisie proper. home/land ownership as the primary means of developing wealth serves a similar purpose as does tying retirement to stonks-up
