That's pretty much guaranteed.
And all the leaders of the AI companies say likewise.
So we've got to β the problem here in America is that it's nearly unsolvable in the window of time that we're talking about because we've lost our democracy in America.
We've legalized bribery that happened back in Supreme Court decisions in 1976, 78, and then, of course, Citizens United.
And so since we have legalized bribery in this country, there's no way they're going to serve the voters.
So whichever AI companies are giving them more money, they're going to serve them.
And that's already begun to happen.
And the AI companies have already started getting involved in primaries and eliminating their opponents through money and politics.
So our politicians are deeply, deeply corrupt in America.
Republicans and Democrats, they almost all serve the donor class.
So we won't make it.
I'm telling you right now.
We're going to run into the iceberg and it's going to be an epic disaster.
The only hope is electing a smart person who's prepared in 2028 that can begin to get us on the road.
So now when the disaster hits, the AI shareholders and executives aren't going to like it either because the reaction will likely be tremendous anger.
And then someone like me is going to say, hey, you know what?
Why do they get to keep all the money and you're all broke and out of a job?
They created this cost, which is unemployment.
Why don't they pay for it?
So why don't we take some of the billions and billions and billions of dollars that these AI companies have made and put it towards their costs, which is the unemployment of the American people?
