well when you attend trump u you too can learn all about how to make big $$$ when you file for bankruptcy and you don't even have to give up your home or car.
The whole point of bankruptcy is so you can escape crushing debt without having to give up any hope of making a livelihood or of having any place to live. That's why civilized countries created the concept of bankruptcy.
I mean, if you think debtor's prisons and workhouses were better, OK, but I don't agree.
I suppose the government could retaliate to this transparent PR scam of Amazon's by creating its own dog's breakfast of ever shifting taxation rules and benefit programs, designed to gain approval (buy votes) while leaving everyone confused as to whether they are actually any better off.
Incorrect. Real-time software creates new functions that no person could perform. One could say the same about web hosting and content delivery. As well as AI.
That's a good point.
"Social media specialist" wouldn't exist without software, for example.

OK, so you automated your own tasks, and they want to fire you as a result.
But wait a minute. With you gone, who understands the automation? Who can fix it when it breaks? Who can update it to handle new types of input, or when the environment changes around it?
Maybe it still makes sense to let you go, and hire a contractor now and then to adjust the automation. But maybe not.
Sure enough, I lost my job only a week after that because someone found out that I automated the job. Now if I was to set the macro to run one record every 10secs, I would have been able to keep my job for a while LOL.
Of course the flip side is that there's no guarantee that things will stay automated.
As the environment changes around the tasks, changes will be needed to the automation. Who knows how to do that? Oops, they had let you go.
Companies don't automatically charge me less when they find cheaper ways to do things. If I'm selling a set of regular task completions to my employer for a salary, and I figure out how to complete those tasks faster, the employer is still getting what they bargained for.
Maybe if there was a streaming service which worked more like Steam; which aggregated all the titles and allowed people to buy a single episode or season, that might work better.
There is, isn't there?
Amazon video, you can "buy" an episode or season of a show. Granted, you will only truly "own" it as long as Amazon video exists and continues to make it available to you, but the same is true of Steam.
"No experience necessary. No experience preferred,"
So, you're an adult, you have the resources and culture to be a certified teacher, you have an aptitude and interest for tech, but you have NO tech experience? Really?
This is really code for saying we'd prefer you have no aptitude for this. Bizarre.

This is like all the stoner proposals to make everything out of hemp.
Sure, the stuff won't work better than anything we already use for those purposes, but ... it's hemp man, so it's good!!
I for one, as a christian, have no problem with her profession(s).
That makes no sense. Jesus states flatly that He has a problem with it.
That's like saying "as a Democrat, I want to eliminate all social programs and completely close the border. No problem!"
Thats the thing though. These people are all about punishing women.
If that helps you live with your support for dismembering babies in the womb, so be it.
The human capacity for self deception is limitless.
Google?
You mean the one's who disappear content they don't like?

Of course they do ...
And these are the folks who think they are smarter than us dumb flyover hicks.
I've always wondered if robots could patrol for weeds and bugs on a farm ... no idea how it works out (or not) economically though.
I hope they got free tickets on the B ark.

But that would be crazy!

I can see it both ways.
Companies don't automatically charge me less when they find cheaper ways to do things. If I'm selling a set of regular task completions to my employer for a salary, and I figure out how to complete those tasks faster, the employer is still getting what they bargained for.

Is there anything we can't blame them for?
Apparently not. They are all powerful.
I for one welcome our Vodka-swilling overlords!
And you guys used to mock us for seeing "Reds under our beds".
Next will be a Bill banning people from being mean on line.
I expect it will be just as easily enforced as this Bill.
Don't give up hope; England shows us the way in this!
Perhaps, like King Canute, Brown is just trying to demonstrate his humility by doing this ...
Especially on the DarkWeb!!!!
Sounds like a cartoon supervillian.
Or "complex" hero ...
Doing something like this across the board makes no sense since so many locations have completely different costs of living.
Some areas, this will be so over paid that it will cause prices to rise as other companies start having to match the wages.
In other areas, 15 is not even close to meeting a living wage that it will do nothing to help.
Reasoned thought is SO western, white, old, and reactionary.
Don't stand in the way of progress!

Be happy with the breadcrumbs the multinational corporations and the 1% throws at you. Now get back to work.
From Brookings? That's a lefty outfit, last I knew.
Do I have to renew it every few years, like the Do Not Call list?
And do the swatters get access to the list, like the Do Not Call list?
...he used his machine to write Obama's speeches.
Well, we are the ones we've been waiting for, ya know ...
Sad, so sad.
What's funny is that most can only see how one angle of that is funny, lol
