Just another knuckle dragger who has to learn the hard way. Jumped into condo dev, storage, MH dev, & now land ent. Break out the tweed and crank up the creed!

Just met one of my favorite new retwit locals so that we could lend each other old books about crazy dealmakers who captained large companies, gossip about our industry, etc and dine at a shabby old dive overlooking ATL's best private airstrip thank you @HamptonPrezcott !!



Over the past 34 years, healthcare has replaced manufacturing as the top employer in the vast majority of states.




Dr. Mike Israetel on the economic fallacy he says explains why AI won't cause mass unemployment: "Once we have 4 billion robots doing labor in the world, which we're like orders of magnitude off of that currently, then we've just only doubled the human workforce." "From 1700 to today, we've 10 or 20x'd the human labor force. And, seemingly, the economy's not like, ah, we don't need any more people, that's enough. We could just consistently have better jobs and pay people even more money." "This idea that robots are gonna show up and all of a sudden we're all completely unemployed makes a technical fallacy in economics called lump of labor fallacy. It's the idea that all the jobs currently are the only jobs that could be." "Imagine in 1750, you're like, well, 98% of us work in farming, and then you come back from the future and you're like, you guys, 2% of people in the 1990s work in farming. It'd be like, so everyone's starving to death? Like, no, no, we're super fat, actually." @misraetel

JUST IN: A disappointing jobs report. The US economy added 57,000 jobs in June (below expectations of 115k). Hospitality jobs decline by -61k. Plus, April and May were revised lower by -74,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% --> the lowest in a year, but mainly due to a big drop in people job hunting. The bad news = Wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Wage gains were 3.5% in the past year, which is below ~4% inflation.
