Workforce participation rate and more mothers working outside the home has long been Ivanka’s pet cause.I remember when stay-at-home moms were the rule, not the exception. I’m old.Ivanka is a moron.Elon Musk asserts that the population is peaking, and that reduction in the population is a bad thing. He doesn’t say exactly how to ameliorate that, tho . . . at least AFAIK.
Likewise he asserts that AI eliminating jobs wholesale won’t be a problem, because it will create unprecedented abundance. I agree with the abundance point, but that doesn’t answer the problem of repurposing all those people who now justify their existence by the fact that they usefully drive trucks.
And make work is no answer. Artificial “work” is ersatz value - and idle hands can be a real problem. We are in danger of a real, global https://www.ebay.com/p/5038588883 “Shmoo" problem.
Musk has said we need more babies. But he’s a Deep Stater who is also pushing his NeuroLink dystopia, so I don’t take anything he says at face value.
