Goldman Sachs just published the list of jobs AI will eliminate first. 300 million jobs globally. 25% of all US work hours. And that's not in 10 years, it's starting NOW. Highest risk of displacement according to Goldman: 1. Computer programmers 2. Accountants 3. Auditors 4. Legal assistants 5. Administrative assistants 6. Customer service reps 7. Telemarketers 8. Proofreaders 9. Copy editors 10. Credit analysts. 46% of all office and administrative tasks can be automated. 44% of legal work. 37% of architecture and engineering. 36% of science. 35% of business and finance. These aren't warehouse jobs. These aren't factory floor positions. These are the careers parents told their kids to pursue. "Go to college. Get a degree. Get a desk job. You'll be safe." Goldman Sachs just told you that desk is getting emptied. And the data is already showing up in real time: Tech employment as a share of the US economy has dropped below its long-term trend for the first time since records began. Marketing consulting, graphic design, office administration, and call centers are all seeing employment growth fall below trend. Younger workers are getting hit first and hardest. Goldman's lead economist said it directly: "The big story in 2026 in labor will be AI." But here's what the report doesn't mention: Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest investors in the companies BUILDING the AI that eliminates these jobs. They underwrote OpenAI's funding rounds. They're advising on the $700 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year. They profit from every merger, every capex deal, every stock offering tied to AI. The same bank telling you 300 million jobs are at risk is making billions helping the companies that will take them. And the corporate playbook is already locked in: Meta is firing 16,000 people. 20% of its entire workforce. While doubling AI spending to $135 billion. Stock went up 3% on the announcement. Block fired 40% of its staff. Stock surged 24%. Atlassian cut 10%. Same pattern. Over 61,000 AI-linked layoffs since November. 764 people per day losing their jobs in tech alone. Every single time a company announces mass layoffs and says "AI," the stock price goes up. Wall Street has created a system where firing humans is the most profitable announcement a CEO can make. Goldman's report says the jobs most PROTECTED from AI are air traffic controllers, chief executives, radiologists, pharmacists, and members of the clergy. Notice who's safe? The people at the top and the people praying. Everyone in the middle is exposed. The entry-level white-collar worker who spent four years and $200,000 on a degree is now competing against software that works 24/7, never takes vacation, never asks for a raise, and improves every single week. Goldman even admits younger workers in their 20s and 30s entering knowledge and content creation sectors will be "most affected." The generation that was told AI would make their lives better is the one getting displaced by it first. And it gets even WORSE: Goldman says if this displacement happens faster than their 10 year base case, the economic impact "could be much larger." Basically: if companies move fast, which they already are, the fallout will be worse than their projections. They're already moving fast. $700 billion in AI infrastructure this year. Mass layoffs at every major tech company. Stock prices rewarding every single one. The report is 50 pages of data telling you exactly what's coming. Most people won't read past the headline. But you just did.

California's snowpack has collapsed at a pace never seen before in late winter, the fastest late February–March melt on record. Spring snowpack is now on track to be the second smallest since records began in 1950, trailing only 2015, the lowest snowpack year in the Sierra Nevada in at least the last 500 years. Phillips Station, the state's most iconic snowpack measurement site, is expected to show bare ground on April 1, the date that has historically marked peak snowpack.

Check out sea surface temperatures off the coast of Southern California this morning. They are now ever so slightly higher than the mean summer maximum, and higher than any April date on record.

BREAKING: Iran responds to President Trump's threat to "obliterate" Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened "within 48 hours." Iran's response: 1. Iran will "completely close" the Strait of Hormuz 2. Iran will hit “vital” infrastructure in the Middle East 3. This includes energy, IT, and water desalination facilities 4. Iran’s senior military commander says the country’s military strategy has shifted from defensive to offensive 5. Iranian officials say the country has enough reserves of essential goods to last for up to one year Trump's deadline has 33 hours remaining.

The Trump tweet that dropped the crypto markets - warning Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or the USA will start obliterating power plants. The issue with this threat is that the regime - who is under threat of being overthrown - doesn’t give a shit.

THE BIGGEST LOCKDOWN SINCE COVID IS COMING AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WARN YOU UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE This is not about the war. This is about what the war is doing to your life. Here's the domino chain nobody is talking about: Oil goes to $110, $150, $175 a barrel. Airlines start cutting flights. United just cut 5% this week. Their CEO is planning for $175 oil through the END OF 2027. Trucking costs explode. Every product in every store gets more expensive. Fertilizer stops moving through Hormuz. Farmers pay more. Food costs more. Gas goes to $5, $6, $7 a gallon. You start driving less. Then governments start TELLING you to drive less. Japan is rationing fuel right now. South Korea is rationing fuel right now. Bangladesh. Philippines. All rationing. Australia's government is telling people to "avoid non-essential journeys." That is EXACTLY what they said in COVID. "Avoid non-essential travel." "Work from home." "Only go out for essential purposes." They called it a health measure in 2020. They will call it an energy measure in 2026. The result is the same. You do not leave your house without permission. And they will never call it a lockdown.
