But the bigger issue is the unemployment that we're all worried is coming.

And it most definitely is.

So there's a lot of happy talk about, oh, 10 years from now, 20 years from now, robots are going to be cooking our salmon.

Or two years from now.

I don't really care.

I don't need my salmon cooked by a robot.

What I care about is are we going to have massive unemployment?

And right now, and I'm curious what Kevin is going to say about this because it's kind of indisputable if you're in the business community, everybody is in a rush.

to fire 10% to 25% of their workforce.

And whoever gets there first gets a competitive advantage and the market's rewarded and their stock price goes up.

Well, if everybody goes to fire 10% to 25% of their employees, we're going to have not just a recession, but a depression like we've never seen in our lives.

And everybody's whistling past the graveyard here.

So do we have a plan?

Does the government have a plan?

The only guy I've ever heard of working on a plan to deal with this tsunami of unemployment is Ro Khanna.

Other than him, it's crickets.

And I think we're going to hit the iceberg really hard.

First, to address a lot of things that have been said.

First, I don't know anyone saying that the robots are going to eat the children.

So I want to thank Kevin for educating me on a talking point there.
