Josh Hudson, an 18-year-old who has made no effort to find a job, attributes his unemployment to insurmountable global economic factors. He is part of a vast group of Neets (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) who can't study or access training courses because he spends his days on TikTok.

Josh explained, 'I saw a video about how it’s not actually my fault that I don’t have a job. The reason no one has knocked on my door and asked if I want one is because AI is nicking them all.'

'It’s literally impossible to get an entry-level job these days,' he continued. 'They all expect you to have experience. My mum says the local pub wants a dishwasher, but as I pointed out, when have I ever washed a dish? They’d throw me in the deep end with no training.'

'Also, I was brought up to respect myself, and all this grovelling around looking for paid work reminds me of slavery. Which is wrong.'

His mum, Donna, added, 'He can’t get LinkedIn, because it’s intrusive personal surveillance by the US tech-industrial complex selling his facial data to Palantir.'

'Thank f**k for the AI revolution, I say. They’ll get shit done,' she concluded.
