And it's not like we can have a nice military coup to kick this country into shape because they are plagued by the same bureaucratic, ladder climbing, and corruption.
Can we just have a GPT model run things or maybe sell the entire country to Alphabet? The AI would do at least average compared to all countries it was trained on and Alphabet might even turn a national profit.
Give a company that much power and snd they'll absolutely implement slavery.
Most Canadians are already de-facto slaves to a bank, credit company or a combination of the two. Sure you can quit your job but you will get another one lest the person who owns your debt take away your home and anything of value that your own. This leaves you visibly poor and potentially homeless which is a "crime" in Canada. You wont be charged with "being homeless" but you will be harassed, assaulted and arrested until you can find somewhere to hide or die.
Kinda sounds like slavery, particularly when you consider that household debt is now greater than the GDP, collectively we owe more than we produce.
