I’m having a flashback to 1982, when millions of workers were laid off and promised a rehire, only not to be rehired. It was the first ever jobless recovery.
Corporations shed countless numbers of workers with no obligation to compensate. It had all been made possible by the introduction of computers into the workplace. Whole layers of workers were no longer needed (eg., middle management).
I’m seeing today a Second Automation Revolution – no longer the computerization of processes but now the introduction of AI to replace even more workers. And no talk of compensation.
It’s probably little comfort to think that G/NESARA [the economic program brought in by the Global/National Economic Security and Reformation Act] will cushion the worker’s fall. Or that the aftermath of the ten days of broadcasts will bring the revealing of many time-saving, lifestyle-enhancing devices – not the least of which is med beds.
I’d like to think that this is the last chance our corporate partners will have to harm the worker. Unlike on any past occasion, on this one, a remedy is at hand. And eventual accountability.
