Oh my, how have we survived without the millions of people who used to take restaurant reservations, book airline tickets, operate toll booths, and print folded maps! How was it to hail a taxi in the Bay Area? This is the anti-abundance agenda.
We need smart regulation to protect 3.5 million truck drivers & 2 million long haul drivers. AI should not be used for mass layoffs that drive up short term profits w/ no productivity gains.
Drivers are needed for safety, oversight, edge cases, & maintenance.

Apple, I gotta be honest with you.
I respect how difficult it is to ship products & I genuinely don’t mean to put too much negativity out into the world…
But you need to revert the changes to the ‘Photo’ app…
> Difficult & unintuitive to navigate
> No way to distinguish the differences in entry points and sections
> Dumping WAY TO MUCH info into one page. Etc.
It is the worst UI I have ever seen.

This is why housing is so expensive. Not Blackrock, landlord greed, or avocado toast...just your neighbors & parents who bought a house, then used local government regulations to make it impossible to build more
The result: Their housing prices go up. Young people locked out
