Since I live a few blocks from Zuccatti Park and was present for most of the Occupy rise and fall, I'm pretty sure I know what it was about, but feel free to share. And yes, I personally feel that a clear parallel is shaping up.
What is the parallel between automation and gross negligence/corruption?
Influence leading to gross negligence / corruption. Power corrupting all. Not the OP, but just a guess.
To be fair, it's really hard to tell from the outside because the messages were all so muddled and the actions amounted to hanging out in a park. What's your take?
Well the root cause was banks being bailed out and almost nobody being punished. Doesn't really relate to automation killing off jobs in any way.
