    The guy is bankrupt in every way possible. Financially, intellectually, morally, ethically - and much more.

    Christ, if we even have elections after this, we will desperately need a FDR 2.0 and a Congress that backs him and they will need a Progressive Project 2029.

      If you are waiting for that, you are already defeated

      You need to take to the street NOW and enact a national strike

      And anyone mentioning reaching across the aisle is automatically out. And the filibuster… gone. Without question.

    While Dudek did not elaborate on what outsourcing “nonessential functions” will look like, according to The Bulwark, Martin O’Malley, who led the agency under former President Joe Biden, warned that it could involve automation and the use of artificial intelligence to replace call centers staffed by people trained to help seniors and other beneficiaries sort out complex problems.

    Oh my god

      While I would not mind increased automation and use of AI in workplaces, using them in call centers for social security is beyond stupid.

      Edit: unpopular opinion I guess, fair enough.

        Definitely unpopular opinion. I don’t know how everyone isn’t sick of shit-for-brains AI interactions

          I like AI for a couple things here and there when I elect to use it. When I am forced to use it and I did not elect it, I fucking hate it.

      That’s many of us in a few years.

      And it’s money we earned, taken out of our paychecks already.

      This is simple theft, and it hurting a few more of the ‘right people’ now is not a good thing when it hurts all (American) people soon.

      I understand the sentiment, man. I’m mad too. But being vindictive to perceived enemies is exactly how we got in this mess.

        What a clever and insightful comment. I’m very proud of you and all the hard work you did it must have really been a struggle. How did you decide what thought you wanted to copy and repeat.

          “ A big salty tear. You get what you deserve 🤡” ok Mr copy paste over here waxing poetic. Stop defending a shit take and do some introspection

              That you had a bad take and got flamed then continued to defend it while adding a ton of emojis? I don’t think anyone here is mad, kinda sad that you’d double down on a shit take that indicates you’re either young or extremely naive.

              I guess now I know im just talking to a troll from a troll quarantine zone though. Enjoy your basement and late night depression wank. I’m sure you’ll solve it by talking out of your ass more on the internet. You want to be a Collin Robinson and drain energy from everyone but you just end up looking like a sad dweeb and embarrassing yourself
