The tragic loss of children’s lives in the Minneapolis school shooting is a moral call to act. Congress must pass real gun safety laws, ban assault weapons, close loopholes, and invest in community safety. Protecting our children is more important than protecting the gun lobby.

That's the thing with Tech billionaires. They're more interested in protecting their money than using it for any common good. Greed was never meant to be sensible. It's just a knee-jerk reaction to ensure individual survival even if the rest of the species dies out.

It's short-sighted. If you get rid of people at lower levels, there's no one to train to take on senior roles. If you replace seniors with AI, there's no one to train entry-level people. Current AI can't fully replace a senior person; it can't even fully replace a junior. Dumb strategy much?
