\"AA political rally in Manhattan calls for workers to confront the growing power of billionaires and the threat of AI automation.Manhattan Today<\/p>\n

In a rallying cry against billionaires and the threat of AI to human jobs, US Senator Bernie Sanders appeared at a Manhattan event alongside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, warning that ‘the worst is yet to come’ for the US economy unless workers take action.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n
