#FollowTheMoney 🧵 89/n Kumar and Pettifor also discuss the next big financial crash, when the #AIBubble bursts It made me wonder whether perhaps, unlike 2008, there will be civic refusal to bail out banks and butt up a defunct system once again? The world, the mood is so different now. I wonder whether those of us who want this change need to start planning and mobilising towards this moment (the AI bubble bursting), so that we don’t waste another opportunity.

#FollowTheMoney 90/n 🧵 UK unemployment rate hits five-year high of 5.2% In a way i am glad that at least rising #unemployment is slowly recognised and talked about in MSM - those of us who have lost jobs know anecdotally just how widespread #Redundancy now is. worrying nonetheless. Not least because #underemployment- many working in PT low grade jobs to make ends meet - is not picked up at all statistically. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1l7pedyzjeo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1l7pedyzjeo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1l7pedyzjeo
