The one job AI cannot steal: unemployment

oh, so you're productive? how much money did you move from your boss to your landlord today, huh? workaholic

@ErikUden @rejinl oh, so my inability to be productive is actually resistance? (as well as a privilege).

not a privilege, but it's resistence ❤️

It is a privilege. I know that not everyone can literally afford not to contribute to the GNP

@ErikUden @artcollisions it's simultaneously a privilege and not. Because a lot of people don't have a choice really on whether or not we work so we just survive on the bare minimum or die. But if we're able to survive, there's a reason for that. If I hadn't married someone who grew up middle class, I'd have been homeless for quite a while now and idk if I would be alive right now. But I did, so I had the privilege to not immediately be kicked out of our apartment when we became unable to work
