    The layoffs could be as high as 20% of the company!

    We can’t keep rewarding Big Tech for choosing AI over people.

    We need to make the switch to support smaller & better businesses - reminder about purchasewithpurpose.io to help you get started.

      I want to do that if there is a deal in which part of what I spend is reinvested in hiring workers at humane rates.

      Or, even better, in sharing ownership with the workers.

      The “bodega romanticism” is something I see as a huge societal issue, also because I can imagine a lot of “bodegas” actually dreaming to achieve the same kind of success of Big Tech.

      I don’t think AI is to blame. They just don’t need those people. I heard big tech hired a lot of people to steal them from smaller businesses, so they could not compete with them. If those employees had been useful to them, they wouldn’t fire them.
