if fedgov didn’t flood the country with cheap foreign labor or ship all the manufacturing to the slave labor nations...
there wouldn’t be any problems
There are 75 million Baby Boomers and they interviewed 62 of them?! This is all crap. Just more fake news.
It’s hard to know. It can go either way this AI revolution
But there is definitely some anxiety in the media and generally about the impact of it.
There is no doubt those Visa “programs” have been abused for to long. It has to stop obviously and it’s the same everywhere
AI is how they will usher in a Global World Leader...Humans especially today are willing to follow a high level Computer system which is what AI is.
Well said!
Dystopia
Predicted as Society and Economic devolves as many parts of the World are well underway including the United States.
Generations today in the United States will do less well then their Parents did with lower buying power and standard of living.
If there are too few jobs, why do we need immigration and H1Bs?
Yes
(Probably on a CBDC (Central bank Digital currency) and tied to a Digital ID !)
Actually I expect EXACTLY that to happen
In all countries
For more CONTROL

THIS...!
I was just sent a snippet of Trump’s address to US’ Generals and Admirals.
The meme suggested a 25th-Amendment TERMINATION of the 27th President’s tenure.
I thought to see if lip-reading would disclose AI, but Trump’s entire face was covered by blocks of supposed [and nonsense] text.
Would it make any sense to bring back boarding houses for older workers who live alone?
Some estimates suggested half the world’s population would succumb to COVID 19.
But here we are.
In 1990, Congress doubled the number of immigrants the US would take every year, massive illegal immigration really got going in the 90s and as an added bonus the H1B program started in...you guessed it....1990. Who was young and seeking to enter the job market right around that time or shortly after? Oh. Gen X was. The Great Recession carved several more years right out of the heart of their careers when they were in their 30s also and it lasted longer than the Great Depression did back in the 1930s. Millenials - especially younger Millenials haven’t gotten a great deal either when it comes to timing.
For Boomers, there wouldn't HAVE BEEN, but for Gen X there WILL BE - because of increased automation and AI
A factory that employed thousands can now run with 14 people - mostly highly qualified and highly educated technicians. The same for banks - the teller job is gone and has been gone for decades, but most of the other jobs can be easily automated as well
Ditto for the food service industry - the lower end fast foods are ripe for automation and even in higher end restaurants, more of the grunt work would be automated
any role that does not require creativity and knowledge will be lost - so plumbers will have job security, but white collar bank pen pushers will not
