Giving American fast food restaurants two paths:

1. automate

2. become a charity

> aren't paying enough money

Renumeration expectations are entirely malleable and subjective. When you've been riding the gravy train, even $15/h looks a pittance.

> Executives and shareholders have had decades of amazing wealth accumulation, but that has to end. The unwinding is happening and the gains from productivity, automation, and innovation belong to everyone and this moment in history may force government to adopt policies to make it happen.

What does America have to offer in 2021 that would prevent said executives (at the potential behest of shareholders) from jumping ship?

Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics are enough to explain the downfall of ACLU:

1. Everyone is conservative about what they know best

2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing

3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies

How quickly things change.

"In Soviet Russia, we too have freedom of speech. But in America, you have freedom after speech" -- Yakov Smirnoff

Twitter naively overplayed their hand. These are the consequences.

America extorts other nations by virtue of the $US being the world's dominant reserve currency. The federal reserve can print money unimpeded, with foreigners bearing the brunt of inflation. The math is simple.

> The government whose action you're commending quite literally has a history of arresting & detaining its critics, extorting & sometimes murdering its citizens in the street, supporting blasphemy laws, and blocking content and even financial transactions that it deems dissident (and those blocks are implemented with such a wide brush that plenty of completely unrelated sites often get caught in the net).

So has the US. Americans, and their mega corporations, have no moral high ground to lecture others.

> But of course, the real censorship is when a foreign social media platform that's used by a few percent of the population at maximum takes down a post.

Who elected Jack Dorsey and his band of far-left censors king? Twitter is a guest in every foreign country, as we're seeing play out.

> It's always funny to see people cosplay at caring about censorship by...jumping to support the first actual authoritarian in sight.

No. Rather the pot should refrain from calling the kettle black

> And all that's beside the fact that this had nothing whatsoever to do with elections.

Censoring politicians has everything to do with elections.
