I agree on the tricking them, but there’s another part I look at. Basic fucking pattern recognition. The jobs have stopped being the in demand for a while now, and they’re not so much on the negotiating power. But the idea of a union is still apparently more anathema and are shocked at these mass layoffs that keep happening.

Don’t worry, we won’t get a Blade Runner-esc hellscape.

Because Blade Runner for a movie had to give us a fascinating world that was interesting that even as a hellscape there was a “Man, it’d be cool to be there.”

No, our hellscape is going to be more like how fast food restaurants all look the same now, the corporate architecture version of taupe agreed to by committee.

I’ll believe MAGA is eating itself. They’re very much at each others throats trying to figure out how to maneuver to be the next king.

But the people will still vote for the R after a name no matter what, so it doesn’t really matter that MAGA is eating itself. Trump hasn’t done a quarter of the damage to the country that the party has done for decades, he’s just the newest phase of the cancer.

I have a friend in programming. He says it’s baffling that the entire industry is anti-union and tends to be pretty pro-corporate.
