Oracle just laid off 21,000 workers citing AI. That's unacceptable. And corporations like Oracle essentially get a tax write off for automating jobs and laying off workers. That's got to stop. And that's why I've proposed things like an AI tax to disinfect, incentivize, laying off workers. We should rally as a Democratic party around taking on these AI billionaires. That's how we win back working people in rural Texas and across the country. (07:57–08:03)
