The A.I. jobs paradox

Here it is: It's the conflict between these 2 ideas. It's "We all have to row the boat so HE should have to keep rowing" BUT "He created A.I. and it's going to take our jobs." So not only do YOU want YOU to have to keep rowing the boat. But YOU want ME to HAVE TO do it with you even IN THE ABSENCE of you having to do it. So, you WANT to keep pushing the rock up the hill but you won't let me stop even though I don't.
Hym "And that is the A.I. jobs paradox. I've saved you from a sinking ship and you're demanding that we both should have to get back on the ship. You're demanding that I ought to drown with you."

This everlasting jobstopper seems like a bad idea in hind-sight.

Jobseeker's Allowance

Also known as JSA, this is the standard state handout to the unemployed in the UK.
Jobseeker's Allowance is paid by Jobcentre Plus to Jobseekers, who are required to actively seek work.
In order to receive Jobseeker's Allowance you must go to a branch of Jobcentre Plus so that a member of staff (a Dictator) can find out what sort or work you will have to look for - which is usually the most lowest paid, temporary and agency work. This will be called your Jobseekers Agreement.
If the dictator decides you are doing enough to find work, you will get paid a paltry sum that is not enough to live on.
In order to continue receiving Jobseekers Allowance, you must visit the Jobcentre Plus every 2 weeks - known as "Signing On" to show a dictator evidence of what you have done to find the work that is put down on your Jobseeker's Agreement.
This is very demeaning and the Dictator will make you feel very small and guilty that you are still a jobseeker.
If the dictator thinks you have applied for enough menial jobs but havent got one, you will be eligible for another payment of Jobseeker's Allowance.
You will then have to go back in another 2 weeks to do this again for your next payment of Jobseeker's Allowance.
If the Dictator decides you are not applying for enough jobs, he or she will stop your claim and you will no longer be eligible for any Jobseeker's Allowance.
I'm going up the pub tonight, got me Jobseeker's Allowance paid today!

Tallaght is a really nice place if you pretend that Jobstown doesn't exist.

Jobsworth

A low ranking official who follows their instructions and procedure to the letter. Often just to piss you off and to make them feel important.

Term derives from the jobsworth mantra "I can't let you do that, it's more than my job's worth".
I'm afraid that all orders must first be placed in writing with the appropriate department before being faxed in triplicate to the following numbers. Once all of the supporting documentation has been received we will then be able to instruct the pre-payment department to advance your application for purchase. etc etc
