my members have been saying for years now that the safety culture seems to have degraded at the same time that these profit numbers are coming in and we need to take a holistic work, legislatures, railroads and unions about how do we fix this and make it safer. politics is at play. a lot of politicians finger pointing, former president donald trump is there today. i had the mayor of east pal palestine a couple of days ago. if he wanted to see president biden take a tour. i ll play you what he told me, and what he has since told another reporter. i think if the president came, it would actually just be more harm than good. you know, there s a lot of security details that need to be around him, and, you know, ambulances calling him and stuff, and i think it would be a burden on residents. if he would like to come, i m
potentially £3850. so we have a situation where energy giant are recording these fantastically massive profit numbers, but families and households around the country, particularly those who are and if not living in poverty now, have sadly face that prospect soon, are looking at these bills and thinking how on earth are they going to pay this. borisjohnson s government, this. boris johnson s government, but this. borisjohnson s government, but the next right minister is going to be under huge pressure to do something about this stuff like natalie, do you think this is government. d0 natalie, do you think this is government. . . natalie, do you think this is government. natalie, do you think this is covernment. ,, ~ , , government. do you think this is u . government. do you think this is u- to government. do you think this is up to government government. do you think this is up to government to government. do you think this is up to government to put government. do you think thi
you have to agree on what s truth and you have to feed that truth into the algorithm and then you have to tell the algorithm, create engagement, meet the profit numbers, but do it without lying. the reason that s not happening, in my view, is the incentive s not there. even though i believe it is within their capability. you mean that facebook wouldn t make money? it wouldn t make as much money. j in your congressional testimony, you expressed fear that the consequence of all this could be civil war. why do you believe that? i was thinking about civil war because i think it s the natural extrapolation from an all-knowing algorithm that has fm incentives to pull us apart. studies have show that it only takes a few minutes of exposure to a conspiracy theory to altser your perception.
workers. this is a problem of employers not paying workers and valuing them for their worth. yeah, and darrick, we see retailers picking up on that advice. there was great reporting from the houston chronicle this week talking about the labor shortage and companies are boosting pay, walgreen s and cvs raised their minimum wage, costco, kohl s, amazon, u.p.s., et cetera. do you think that will have an impact? one, i m happy with that, and we can look at profit numbers and we can see that corporations aren t dramatically suffering in this process. and then there s two other elements to add to the equation. one is race, you know, you pointed out those unemployment numbers that we began with, but the black unemployment rate is still hovering at 8%, and if we look at that number, we would categorize black people as still being in a severe depression or recession with an 8% unemployment rate. completely. and then the other point i ll make really quick, tiffany, is
algorithm. and then you d have to tell the algorithm, create engagement, meet the profit numbers but do it without lying. the reason that s not happening in my view is the incentives aren t there. even though i believe it is within their capability. you mean that facebook wouldn t make money. they wouldn t make as much money. in your congressional testimony you expressed fear that the consequence of all this could be civil war. why do aiobyou believe that? i was thinking about civil war because i believe it s the natural extrapolation from an all knowing algorithm that has the financial incentive to pull us apart. studies have shown it only takes a few minutes of exposure to a conspiracy theory to alter your perspective. imagine the ripple effect magnified by millions when conspiracy theories are created, posted and reposted by the leader of the free world.
