... stagnant wages and high prices have not been adjusted with economic levers. So the "illusion" which you reference is a lived reality for millions of Americans. Just perhaps not the top of the K shaped economy, CEOs whose earnings still out pace the average worker by 600x; for shame!

US #wealth inequality is shockingly high: the tiny 9%square in the corner? That's half the US population! Poor.

What happens when #AI really kicks in?

Is It a Bubble? In his latest memo, Howard Marks explores if there is a bubble in AI, identifying uncertainty, parallels to past bubbles, AI's vast potential, and emphasizing the importance of prudence.

Applause to @HowardMarks for this OpEd, in which he takes an honest look at #AI, the #globaleconomy and links to #unemployment and #socialunrest.

People need purpose in life.

What does AI offer?

Can confirm! In Bali, tucked into a hotel in a serene oasis of palm lined rice paddies. Little did I know..

After sunset, the reverb from the neighboring pickleball courts sounded like gunfire. After each round, a female voice waffled over a loudspeaker. Terrifyingly, I imagined Squid games.

Curious! Because according to @bloomberg.com most Americans are buying an $1,800 “styler” closet to save time. Does that smell odd to you, too? #itstheeconomystupid

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

wishful thinking that it's backfiring: the cruelty is the point. It emboldens the base; they feel superior, powerful - if not economically then racially, existentially.

you wouldn't want your daughter harassed. what makes this "amazing"??

As the author of "Virtual Natives" in which we examine the Media and Tech consumption habits of young people - I wonder if you really spend any time online?

FT when are you going to address the human equation of AI, executive pay, and mass displacement?

A race to the bottom - gutting out consumers by eliminating wages - is not exactly good for shareholder value.

When those guzzlers fail, we'll have to bail out big auto.

And impose tariffs on superior Chinese EV makers.

Consumers lose both ways.

Robert Reich The Hidden Costs of Denying Paid Sick Leave

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.

Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Robert Reich Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

thrifting best value for money! sincerely tho - good luck, sorry its tough rn. were all feeling it

yeah waiting 10 days savings will still be there possibly better. also? shop local. Or exchange favors - like babysitting or offering to cook a dinner for someone instead of gifts...🎁
