A few New York City restaurants are using virtual staff members, who greet customers via Zoom from the Philippines. The remote workers are paid $3 an hour
Eventually no one will be able to buy the food because all the staff is replaced by cheap remote workers or AI

Remanded to Rikers
Asshat loser Gov candidate and future loser Senate candidate Kari Lake once called an archaic 1864 #Arizona law that bans #abortion in the state a ‘great’ law that she would be ‘incredibly thrilled’ to have it go into effect.
Well on Tuesday it did, and Lake is now attempting to reverse course …”
she is like an poorly inflated airdancer flopping in the wind just trying to find the right position that will help her get elected
#Xwitter just doing a "redirect links in tweets that go to x.com to twitter.com instead but accidentally do so for all domains that end x.com like eg spacex.com going to "spacetwitter.com" or Netflix.com going to Netflitwitter.com is not absolutely the funniest thing I could imagine but it's high up there
Gov Ducey is a Douche
a 15 week ban was the best one he could pass in Arizona. The State supreme court WHICH HE EXPANDED S OHE COULD SEAT MORE ANTI-ABORTION REPUBLICANS finished the job
AZ Decides to upend Medical care using a law created before Germ theory and the State existed
This is what "States rights" means. Using Judges placed on benches based on ideology, and Gerrymandered Legislators to enforce Religious laws to oppress women and minorities
We need a nationwide Rejection of the GOP and conservatives in politics.
The two AZ justices who face retention this year, Clint Bolick and Kathryn Hackett King, are both appointees of former Republican Governor Doug Ducey, who expanded the court and loosened constraints on appointment to shift it rightward.
Bolick, who was appointed by Ducey in 2016, received 70 percent in 2018 during his last retention race; King, who was appointed in 2021, has not yet faced voters.
This might change due to their ruling to make abortions Illegal in AZ
