Or you can go to a Swiss chocolate here in downtown San Francisco, pay $20 for a box of handmade chocolates, you'll pay that premium for that better product. Same with clothes, there's this big trend and kind of handmade clothes and high end luxury goods spoke artisanal Artisanal, handmade. And similarly, I think that there is a premium in human service, in the partnership with a human.

It's not just about blue collar jobs. It's about having a waiter talk to you and serve you. If you go to a restaurant, instead of having a machine spit out the food to you, there's an experience associated with that that you'll pay a premium for. There's hundreds and hundreds of microbreweries in the United States that in aggregate outsell Budweiser and Miller and even Modelo today.

And I think that there will be an absolute burgeoning and blossoming in the salaries and the availability and demand for human service in a lot of walks of life. Certainly there's all the work at home, the electricians and the plumbers and so on, but also fitness classes, food, personal service around tutoring and learning and developing oneself.

There's going to be an incredible blossoming, I think, in human service jobs, and they don't need to have a degree in poli sci to be performed. I think that there will be a lot of people that will be very happy in that world.
