Tough decision

Great after hours action but make no mistake, they needed this tailwind. A growth company this ain’t Maybe this is the start of a turnaround.

The purest form of adaptive leadership. A tough but necessary decision.

Lord knows it would be nice to choose my own square backend ux. They make so many changes that are no value add and require staff to constantly adjust to workflow changes. Been really bad updates to inventory systems.

Jack is a great man.

This is what happens when you slash human capital expenses. You get rewarded in the short term. But make no mistake... This is just the beginning and the turmoil will be real. Hard to sell goods when your old customers have no way to afford them. This revolution in tech is absolutely going to lead to the serfs calls for socialism. Contrast this with Henry Ford revolutionizing assembly lines AND paying his workers enough that they became devoutly loyal employees and customers; the opposite of a death spiral. It built an empire. Replace those workers with bots and you will soon have neither customers nor company.

When universal basic income?

Six weeks plus a week for every year served plus 5 K plus six months health cover plus free Laptop .. what else you need ? .. and best part .. opportunity to build something if your own .. Every lay off is a boon in disguise.. this is how America wakes up sleeping talent ..

> our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. 👀

Stocks always go up when you fire a bunch of people, but it's usually a good time to sell. It indicates slowing growth, reduced income, and/or a lack of innovation. Grow, sign up, and innovate fast enough, and you need more AI _and_ more people.

AI removes the middleman. Bitcoin removes the money middleman. Together they return what was always yours: your capacity to build, create, transact without begging for permission or paying the gatekeeper tax. The 40% aren't lost. They're liberated from work that shouldn't have required humans in the first place. Build on Bitcoin. Let AI handle the rest.

It looks like Andrew Yang's thesis from his book, The War On Normal People is unfolding. He thinks AI will not only elimiminate tech jobs, but also blue collar jobs like truck driving. His solution was UBI: $1,000 per month for every citizen paid for by decreasing entitlements, but the government is not capable of balanced budgets. After COVID, the USG implemented monetary expansion to give $1200 worth of UBI for plebs and Jumbo PPP loans for corporations they ended up forgiving causing the worst inflation in decades. Thats when I lost all faith in government. These job cuts are inevitable. More are comming. We still need solutions, but government is not capable of solving this problem. We need private insurance or something. Equity for employees seems like a good start, but it looks like max pain is on the horizion.

The white collar worker Apocalypse is gonna be a site to behold
