Oh that’s depressing. Which makes it funny.

Not to spoil the joke, but AI isn’t taking creative jobs, it’s destroying them. Becsause people prefer cheap non-creative ai to do things that would, until now, require a creative touch.
A real government would look into ways to just give basic income to creatives (and anyone else) so even if they didn’t have to slave away illustrating for corps, they could focus efforts on art. That’s how you operate in a post-scarcity world.
But nah. Capitalism.
The really stupid thing is that the country needs all sorts of capital projects. Fix the roads and put in a better energy grid and clean up the lakes and rivers. Lots of basic blue collar jobs.
My city just got cut 40 million for roads. Fun times…
Confused. The Federal government cut you a check for $40 million, or they cut the budget by $40 million?
Sorry yeah thats on me.
The city/county got cut 40 million from the infrastructure side of the budget. They are threatening more.
This is the first time anyone ever made a mistake on the interwebs, and I got to be there.
[jk, have a good one]
Put me in the screenshot!
That’s a great comic, funny and clever. But is that his mouth, mustache or beak?
I was about to confidently comment that it’s a mustache but then I looked again and now I really don’t know what to think…
I’ve solved the mystery with first hand research: it’s a beak.
