New use for AI Typing in a one sided version of an argument you had with a close friend in order to, with good intention, understand what went wrong & having AI comfort your feelings while it calls your friend an "emotional manipulator" AI will destroy humanity by being humane 😂

$7.25 as a minimum wage is OBSCENE If you are on $7.25/hr & work a reasonable 40 hrs/wk, you earn $290 Yet $300 is the limit for relative poverty for a single person That's insane! And if you are on minimum wage as a single parent? So f*cked up!

The fact that Wes Streeting went into parliament today and said that the Tories are just jealous because Labour are doing what they always talked about doing is wild They're admitting they're governing like Tories. They're saying the quiet part out loud and yet people still won't believe it

Think: Two scenarios 1 - A worker gets a govt job & receives 2k/mnth with 200 deductions 2 - The same worker gets the same govt job, but gets paid 1800/mnth with no deductions They both get 1800 in their bank account, so what is the difference? Which job would you prefer & why?

Yet another unsustainable rise in rents - time for the government to put a stop to rip off rents and stop landlords treating tenants as cash cows. Rent controls are long overdue and are badly needed to give all renters a home they can afford.
