CARTOON: AI wishes you a happy Labor Day

Labor Day originated as a celebration for all wage workers, marked by the first parade in New York where 10,000 participants marched from City Hall to Union Square. While the American Federation of Labor pushed for its national recognition in 1894, some argue the movement has since been hijacked by government unions focusing on public-sector security. Meanwhile, contemporary perspectives on the holiday now include themes of automation, AI control, and the emergence of rogue swarms.
