California Uses AI Job Loss Fear to Push More Control While Ignoring Tech’s Big Opportunities

California is at it again, playing the victim in the technology game. The state’s politicians are wringing their hands over Americans losing their jobs to artificial intelligence, as if doom is the only thing AI brings. It’s the same song and dance from the left — always focused on what goes wrong, never on what could go right. More than half of Americans are scared that AI might take their jobs or someone in their family’s job, and California is ready to keep a running tally. Of course, they want to make sure every fear makes the headlines.

Let’s be honest: the Golden State loves to act like the world is ending. Instead of embracing innovation, the folks in Sacramento just want to pile on more regulations and bureaucracy. Why track only job losses? Could it be that the left loves a crisis, especially one they can use to push big government “solutions”? Liberals are happy to use fear as an excuse to expand their control. Meanwhile, businesses, workers, and entrepreneurs are left out in the cold.

The truth is, technology creates new opportunities. Sure, some jobs will disappear, but others will be born. History proves this every time — from the Industrial Revolution to the rise of the internet, people adapt and prosper. But you won’t hear that from California’s mouthpieces. They’d rather scare Americans into thinking that progress is a threat. That’s the anti-American mindset at work: complain about the costs, ignore the benefits, and hope nobody notices the hypocrisy.

What’s really going on here? The usual globalist agenda. By focusing on what’s lost, liberal leaders hope to justify more government handouts to favored groups and more taxes on successful companies. Who cares if that chokes off the next wave of American innovation? The left wants power, not prosperity, and they’ll use AI fearmongering to get it.

Here’s the real question: when will California and its buddies start seeing America’s ingenuity as something to celebrate, not something to fear? Only when we shed the liberal doom and gloom can this country lead in technology—without tripping over our own red tape.
