The "We need a Joe Rogan of the left thing" is bizarre because there is already a Joe Rogan of the left, he goes by HBomberGuy and the fact that his channel doesn't check their boxes is why the people demanding a Joe Rogan of the left in fact do not actually want a Joe Rogan of the left

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia creates context and the structure of LLMs destroys context Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.

Please Sir, can we have an actual documented example? What work are illegal migrants doing that drives down wages, terms and conditions? And how are employers getting away with it? Doesn't everyone go through employment checks? Shouldn't employers be prosecuted if they are breaking the law?

This is bad, it’s a really shitty thing to do, but nobody can take away the union. The workers ARE the union. Solidarity isn’t just on paper and they’re about to find that out
