2008 and 2020 economic crises were not planned but they were immediately used by the paid politicians to transfer more wealth from the working class to the wealthy. Crises were used to justify layoffs, bailouts, tax cuts. This is not sth that can be refuted, it's all public data. The difference in 2025 crisis is it's planned. AI will inevitably come for many jobs and there needs to be a crisis (according to the wealthy) to remove you from the equation easily. You don't hate the wealthy enough - they are already waging a violent class war on YOU: the person who works everyday to earn a living. Make no mistake. The wealthy don't work, they rent out (Gates is the biggest farmland owner in the US) and make statements (Musk doesn't really do any tangible work, he tweets & makes unprofitable decisions). That's it. The step before inevitable mass violence is stopping all unnecessary consumption. While you still have some power, you should try to buy only from worker-owned or local businesses.

I don't disagree that AI will take a bunch of jobs and the rich will get richer, but why do they need a crisis to justify it? Why wouldn't they just fire people, crisis or no crisis?

Easier argument to use. Easier to defend. More leverage against unions. Same thing happened in 2008 and 2020 too.

I don't actually know much about how union politics work. If a company laid off a bunch of workers without giving an excuse what would happen?
