The root cause isn’t minimum wage. While that can be important it does affect a lot of small business. With that said the root cause is corporations using profits to line their pockets instead of helping the economy by paying their employees.
We need to stop skirting around the issue that is corporate America. we need to tax the fuck out of corporate profits BEFORE they hide it all in investments or stock buybacks.
That "Adobe Stock" photo from the article is just some generic AI crap.
The door is wide open for a stock photo business right now, I guess.
Isn't that kinda what AI images should be used for? Meaningless stock images? Like, if the article was about a specific person, or an interesting activity or place, then yea that's not for AI. But a generic article about "jobs" seems fine.

Hop on Adobe stock right now and search for something. Half of the results will be AI-generated. There's a search filter that can exclude them.
As an employer, I hire when I have the work an employee can do at a profit I feel makes it worth my time to get the work and manage them. That’s the whole calculus of hiring.
