Inspired by @rocketpilot, I’m doing a Star Trek: The Next Generation rewatch.
VFX industry, workplace abuse
Abuse of Visual Effects Artists Is Ruining the Movies https://gizmodo.com/disney-marvel-movies-vfx-industry-nightmare-1849385834 And it seems like it's Marvel who are leading the charge
I'm starting to think this online bookshop may be up to not good.

U.S. healthcare non-system; Amazon
Amazon moving into general practice is interesting, largely because of the tactics they'll use to bust the professions' influence. Not good news for the people covered by One Medical https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2022/amazons-foray-primary-care-wont-be-easy

They didn't experience the same pandemic, and as such have different ideas about what an end would look like. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/28/covid-over-end-pandemic-medical-data-political-social
So much for tech utopian dreams of leasure enabled by automation. They’ll save the jobs for people that aren’t worth getting robots to do. “McDonalds CEO: Robots won't take over our kitchens” https://thestack.technology/mcdonalds-robots-kitchens-mcdonalds-digitalization/
