Mark Ruffalo: “We need a workers revolution in this country that prioritizes good clean jobs, lowers costs, and insures a livable future for our children. We don’t have to keep going this way for the Elons, Thiels, Zuckerbergs, Bezoses, Ellisons, and every other billionaire crushing this economy…”

Good to see someone trying to raise voice
AI overlords don’t want human capital. They are working on the principle that AI can replace all jobs.
“And we must do this at a time when automation is throwing men out of work. I ran in the primary in West Virginia. I spent some time in McDowell County in West Virginia. McDowell County mines more coal than it ever has in its history, probably more coal than any county in the United States and yet there are more people getting surplus food packages in McDowell County than any county in the United States. The reason is that machines are doing the jobs of men, and we have not been able to find jobs for those men. I think this is not a problem for McDowell County nor is it a problem for Canton, Ohio. It is a matter that should be of importance to the next Administration and to the next President.
The problem of automation is to make sure that machines make our lives easier, not harder, for those who are thrown out of work. (Applause)
