Did someone take your Timmy job?
Nope, but they almost certainly took someone else’s. When my job goes it’s likely going to AI.

Most of the ppl complaining never had a job there to begin with. Can’t complain about losing what you never had.
Most of the people complaining probably know someone who did. Picture, if you will.
