@SteveMatthews12 @Citrini7 I'm looking forward to the government starting mass universal basic income and letting the robots and AI do everything, personally
English
Now that @Citrini7 has written how AI could in one scenario destroy a lot of white-collar, middle class jobs, I’m looking forward to Part 2 that will be equally scary on how humanoid robots will destroy a huge number of blue-collar, middle class jobs. That’s equally as likely.

70% of kids withdraw from organized sports by the time they are 13 years-old. This is why. Sports is no longer about exercise and fun. It’s about performance so kids who are coached like this retire from sports at 13. It’s too much!

@JustinWolfers However, as my colleagues have reported, there is widespread abuse of H-1Bs by staffing firms, who hoard H-1Bs. Until that’s sorted out, how’s it possible to evaluate the system?
English
