It's nice to have somewhere to go on my way to work.

Oh, I'd like to weigh in because this is one in a million because I think Moish is bang on on this one.

First of all, as my friend Moish Lander would say, what are you going to tax?

By word?

By line?

By algorithm?

Per worker replaced?

I mean, I don't even know where this is going as a theory.

Number two, you know, I'm getting a little bit tired of people trying to substitute, let's tax it.

for what's really going on, which is in this country, north of the border, there hasn't been basically one job created in the last 11 years.

And so we're just looking for alternative forms of revenue in lieu of actually creating some long-term economic growth and giving some stability to the job market.

So, you know, there's just no end of people saying, what can we tax next?

But that's never been a solution as long as I've been an economist.

You know, when you're old like me, you relive every day, every day.

And I remember when the VCR was going to kill movies.

I remember when, I don't know, Sirius Radio was going to kill whatever the other radio is called.

And you know what?

I know, let's be honest, David, you're a little bit to the left of me.

But let me tell you, the burden on this, it's still going to fall on consumers and workers anyway, right?

You can tax AI development all you want.
