Be careful equating efficiency with progress, as everything you like about your life is ultimately inefficient.

Automation is great. We just need to collectively own it.

Only until it decides you an inefficiency to be removed.

No because the people saw none of the benefits. It was hoarded by the billionaires.

We all work longer hours than our grandparents, we get less pay, and fewer of us sleep inside.

This is your 'progress'.

Only killing our masters would allow progress to anything I'll ever want.

local bakeries making good product closing down because they're undercut by the giant chain store across the street selling shitty loafs at a loss is a bad thing, because it removes competition and then the corporate bakery can jack up prices on a shittier product because that's all that's left

the automation itself isn't bad, once again, it's the tool in the hands of a corporation that isn't regulated well enough

Yeah our factory bread doesn’t even count as bread in France. It’s been modified to allow machines to make it, by adding tons of chemicals that make it withstand kneading faster, baking quicker lasting on the shelf for months and a bunch of other factors that only increase profits for few remaining big corps that own it all.

Fuck factory breads, we could do it with smaller bakeries with wheat, water, yeast, sugar, and salt if we wanted to pay for it.

Let AI replace middle Managment and give us all UBI and see how many of us would like to make our own bread.

Chat is progress good actually?

Quick! Raise both arms. Dial 9.1.1 and tell them you've had a stroke.
