    Lol please. America already gutted its entire industrial base to the point where there’s a permanent shortage of blue collar jobs, and most people are working crappy wages in a service role for whichever megacorp owns the entire market.

    AI could take over tomorrow and there wouldn’t be enough people to care, despite getting utterly screwed over.

    It might only get ugly if purchasing power collapses and causes solvency. Otherwise it’ll just continue to degrade into an infinite debt economy which is basically just generational slavery like a significant portion of exploited labor and human trafficking already is.

    Don’t worry though, there’s a million other problems that’ll probably pop the bubble first anyway lol.
