Something odd is happening in the tech world right now: the technology that was supposed to make human labour obsolete is, at this moment, more expensive than the humans it was meant to replace. Companies are laying off workers to fund the very AI tools that cost more than the workers they just let go. The circular logic of it would be darkly comic if tens of thousands of livelihoods weren't caught in the middle.

The stated rationale is consistent: operational efficiency, reallocation toward AI. But the MIT study found that AI automation is economically viable in only about 23 percent of roles. For the remaining 77 percent, humans remain cheaper. Goldman Sachs' chief economist has stated plainly that he does not view AI investment as strongly growth-positive. Sequoia Capital partner David Cahn has put a number on the resulting gap: AI companies need roughly $600 billion in annual revenue to justify current infrastructure spending. The gap, as of mid-2026, is widening, not closing. So the present moment looks like this: companies cutting human labour to fund artificial intelligence that currently costs more than the labour it replaces, in pursuit of productivity gains that most studies cannot yet verify, at a pace that is exhausting annual budgets in weeks.

US Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) is running for re-election. His MAGA opponent is a sniveling dweeb named Mike Collins who is actively involved with neo-Nazis and the terrorists who assaulted the US Capitol in 2021. Of course Collins is backed by Donald Trump.

Ossoff is relentless in going after Collins and Trump. If you enjoyed the clip from his recent Atlanta rally above, here's the entire piece.

If Democrats need a spokesperson who can effectively focus their message, Sen. Ossoff certainly has the skills to do so.

Midterms are just 10 weeks away. Can you persuade just one person per week to vote Democratic? It can be...

a US citizen over 18 not yet registered

a slacker who is registered but seldom votes

a perpetual fence-sitter who is confused

a low information voter who may not have access to good news sources

a previous Trump voter who has since expressed disillusionment
