One of your most bare-bones essays. It's undeniable.
Our political system by it's 4 or 5 year nature only looks for the quick fix. They clearly told us in the 90s that the pension timebomb needed a solution - well here it is, import 3rd worlders & hope that they'll slave away & pay tax [do they though?]. It's a Ponzi & long-term when it all falls down, the fallout will be epic.
Let's be honest here, we all know that the political parties are downstream of the international moneymen; those that really call the shots. I think we have to face the question now of - with AI & automation do they actually need us at all anymore? Perhaps what we're seeing over the last few years is the gathering up of the skirts of the privileged few about to make their excuses & leave.
When are you going to do one of those train of thought, unscrpited, out for a walk with the dog, talking into the microphone cuts? I know it's unfair to ask but I could really do with just hearing you say that there's some kind of future for our people. You're the Voice afterall. We can't lose all hope.
I'll do more monologues on here. I'm thinking about doing those phone talks in my greenhouse with my face on, which is where I spend more time than walking the dog these days as she's getting old.
I would really like that. Sincerely. Show us your plants, have a chat, talk about peas pudding, stottie bread, the Lambton Worm, Fishing, anything ... cos things are getting reet dark all over & it's deein' nobody any good. [I hope that made you laugh & I hope you get what I mean, I think if it is all coming down we can at least face it with a bit of a smile] - I miss those days when you'd make me laugh out loud hate reading the Guardian & that, you've got a great sense of humour, actually we all do, it's part of being British.
Anyway, I hope you & the family are doing well, I hope the same for all the viewers, we'll get through this if we just keep our tails up.
ai is already hiring humans to complete small tasks that it physically cannot and Agentic ai is what is being sold to the big corporations with shaky moats right now. They fear the kodak and blockbuster moments where a startup tech replaces them so they're seizing the ai revolution with both hands, stamping on the pedal and hoping that they end out in front by the time they reach the chicane at the end of the straight.. The only jobs left will soon be trades and delivery drivers with a handful of nepatistic style office flunkies acting like they're doing something important. Perhaps ai and delivery bots will finally free us of the savages in balaclavas who roam our streets on ebikes delivering poison.
Funny you should mention it. My delivery drivers are becoming noticeably darker, both literally & figuratively. Sullen, pissed-off, grunted-begrudged replies to my cheerful "thanks, I appreciate you coming" from foreign gadgies who look like they hate me. Maybe it's dawning on them that the streets aren't paved with gold.

They certainly don't need the immigrants.

How are they going to power those data centres? Is the supply to the general population going to be reduced?
