And it gets even WORSE. @easyJet just unloaded a disastrous flight back into customs. 200+ people with no instructions other than “use your app.” A woman in tears cannot reclaim her dead father, and hundreds literally confused. Nice job.

It gets worse. @easyjet finally got us out to the runway after over two hours of “unannounced” delay, only to turn us back to the gate. We are sitting on the plane, door open, three hours in and no plan.

@BernieSanders My bet is on Bezos. He creates value. You destroy it.

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

So far, my experience with @easyJet has been unbelievably negative. Talk about contempt for customers. This is especially poignant considering I am traveling from a conference focused on customer care.

@r0ck3t23 I, for one, am looking forward to the day AI can explain what the hell a dog therapist does, and why anyone would need it.

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years. When almost everyone was a farmer. And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.” Bezos: “They would not have believed you.” Then a friend took it further. Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.” He looked it up. Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.” The room laughed. The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all. Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing. We count the jobs it will destroy. We never count the ones it will create. Because we can’t. They don’t have names yet. The fear is always specific. AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers. The fear has job titles and timelines and projections. The opportunity has none of those things. Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet. A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor. He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist. Not because he lacked intelligence. Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet. Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies. Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence. That’s where we are with AI right now. Everyone is staring at the tractor. Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet. The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have. The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t. Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed. Every single one. Not because anyone planned it. Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them. We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms. We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor. The demand didn’t disappear. It migrated somewhere no one was looking. That is exactly what’s happening right now. The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet. They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920. Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist. The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose. Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain. Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet. A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today. And the audience will laugh. The same way we just did.

@David_Charts2 @ewarren That money isn’t stored in cash, it is unrealized value. How do you propose they extract that value without causing a market crash or affecting the job market?

@ewarren The top 10% have $120 trillion net worth, or 68% of it. They can afford to pay $1 trillion of that per year in taxes for healthcare and education, and they'll still get richer. We can raise their tax rates and remove their tax expenditures, if a wealth tax won't pass.

Americans are selling their plasma to pay for groceries and gas. Let that sink in. This is Trump's economy: tax cuts for billionaires, and working people stretching themselves to the brink just to keep the lights on.

@SenWarren @senwarren, I would love to see you use this energy to go after government fraud instead of going after the companies actually keeping this country afloat.

If you paid even one penny in federal income taxes on your income last year, then you paid more than Tesla. Here's why.

@KamalaHarris I understand you told Iran “Don’t” in no uncertain terms. I also understand you are considering a run for the presidency. As I consider where to place my vote, will you please explain what you meant by “Don’t” and what actions you plan to take to reinforce your demand.

Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high. This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price.

@NYCMayor Celebrating the taking of money from anyone like it’s a holiday treat is an interesting take. Are there really people out there who think this is a good idea?

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

@SenWarren 1. This appears to be incorrect. 2. I prefer a representative who looks for ways to reduce taxes on everyone. 3. If you want more taxes, you are an enemy of the people.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

@SenWarren We tax things we want to discourage. You realize a wealth tax eventually eliminates the incentive to be wealthy. The golden ring of wealth and security is what drives innovation. You are going to create a nation of dependency. Please stop.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@Ahmad_galsen_ @ElHadjiDjibri10 @grok Street light was red until after second biker was through. No lights on car is a problem, but the biker was speeding, in the wrong lane, and attempting to run a red light at high speed. He compounded the risk and got a high probability result.

@ElHadjiDjibri10 Hey @grok ralentis la vidéo et montre le moment où le motard disparaît en slow motion😱

@amyklobuchar I disagree. Voting should require a minimum standard of competence, citizenship, age, and education. Proven.

The SAVE America Act makes it harder for American citizens to vote. It hands private voter data over to DHS and adds costly hurdles just to register. We should be making it easier for Americans to have their voices heard and have their right to vote — not harder.

@BernieSanders I doubt it, since those two things are completely unrelated.

At Trump’s State of the Union, do you think he’ll mention the fact that, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, his billionaire friends saw a $1.5 trillion increase in their wealth in his first year in office?

@BernieSanders Absolutely, Bernie, what we want to do is impose incentives for out-of-the-box thinkers so they stop innovating, quit creating jobs, and focus on mediocrity. I just hate that these guys have helped so many millions of people improve their quality of life. 🤨

Net worth of the billionaires opposing California's wealth tax: Elon Musk: $844 billion Larry Page: $262 billion Sergey Brin: $243 billion Mark Zuckerberg: $228 billion Larry Ellison: $209 billion Yes. We must tax billionaires. And it starts in California.

@SenWarren Wouldn’t that have been a better idea for you when Obama was president, literally doing twice as much, and you had more authority? You missed your chance. Why?

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

@IAmPoliticsGirl Curious why I’m not seeing a lot of Venezuelans complaining about it. They’re too busy dancing in the streets. I hope this is a new chapter for them and wish them peace and prosperity without that tyrant.

To be clear: the American president doesn’t declare war, Congress does, and the fact that the administration left Congress completely out of the decision to invade Venezuela is a real problem.

@BernieSanders You and your cohorts broke it, and now must steal to fix it. Why not step aside and just ask Elon and Jeff to fix it instead of steal from them to pay for your mistakes? I’ll bet they could straighten that out in a month.

Yes: We need a wealth tax on billionaires.

@BernieSanders You used a lot of words to say “I governed poorly and now must steal from people who govern well to cover my mistakes.” This is theft. Worse still, your proposal is a bandaid on a compound fracture: it won’t work for long.

@DublWidSurprise @salwilliam @BernieSanders Or: how would a five year old with zero understanding of economics, government waste, or unintended consequences solve this problem?

@salwilliam @BernieSanders The point is to make of for the people that lose their jobs to robotics/AI. Those people will still need some form of income. Taxing companies a separate fee for using robotics in place of people will provide for that. UBI

Why would corporations like Amazon replace workers with robots? Pretty simple. Robots don’t need a wage, health care, time off, sick leave, Social Security, Medicare or unemployment benefits. Maybe it’s time to tax robots & use the revenue generated to help working families.
