Amazon is doing amazingly well despite rural Americans basically subsisting on welfare and retirement funds.

It is actually a good time for the economy and to be a young person with your future ahead of you. You could in fact do something incredible if you have the motivation, education, and ability. There are more opportunities now than we had in 2014.

That said, I am not of that fortunate demographic, but I am not interested in shooting that demographic in the foot either. I agree more and more with the guy guest writing for Politico and WaPo is dumb.

Out in the woods, stick folk, hill billies, yokels, rubes.

Rural sounds so sophisticated, why I bet they eat butter with their grits. *whitles* fancy.

Guy: "Hey can you use that in a sentence?"

Redneck: "Hell yea, so that rural elf makes fun of that Adobe elf"

2014 was fine as well, there’s been opportunity in America since 1776

Personal weakness is a personal problem, seek Christ

Look, I am not calling them ignorant or backwards today, but they don't have the F35s and trademarks to compete with Amazon in general. As soon as one becomes even moderately successful, they have few options, sell their business to Amazon or buy a subscription to an Amazon service and remain a serfsidiary or get shut down by the mob and the feds for operating illegal on the black market, without a license, or w/e. Or poaching gulf shrimp with toxic levels of pollutants that aren't legally allowed to be sold at the supermarket, so like the mexican shrimp farms which are owned by Amazon now have all the business and are now operated by robots.

See:

New businesses should definitely start up with automation. Human labor is pretty unreliable. Then they riot. That too.

There will be a lot less investment in human capital going forward because people are essentially worthless. I doubt that government can fix this.

However there will be niche markets for hand crafted goods and personal services going forward. People will certainly need someone to talk to about all this automation. And the best of the best companies will still hire the most professional personnel and use them as a selling point vs the companies with the weird AI. However that weird AI will probably become the norm that the lowest classes of humans are expected to model their behavioral patterns around.

TLDR Shrimp costs skyrocket, poor people are forced to subsist on government big soy. And robots manufactured in China with Russian steel, put to work in Mexico produce all our luxury goods.

they made it so you can order food from amazon with your food stamps. I tried it, 'cause I do have those despite retiring wealthy under 30 (my finances are hard to explain). The trail mix is okay, the mixed nuts are stale. Walmart is better for quality.
