While a majority of Americans worry about AI-induced unemployment, Bezos says future households will only need one income-earner working 3 days a week, thanks to AI “productivity” — which is, coincidentally, also the reason white-collar yuppies think they’re going to lose their jobs.
asserted
they → worry → jobs
Obviously, the potential for mass labor market disruption is more immediate than Bezos’ future world of abundance, and Amazon itself fired 30,000 corporate workers over the last year.

robots → shut → Wires

asserted
resources → mix → housing
But as Pirate Wires’ Nicole Wizman has reported, Skid Row residents are (shockingly!) reticent to move into LA’s abundance of half-empty housing shelters.

asserted
what → report → raid
