Those folks are going to need healthcare.
And right now I think the economy is in the
benefits system is wired for a place where most people are in these like normal W-2 jobs.
But actually, what does it look like if you have a lot more small business owners and freelancers?
We are going to need to think differently about benefits and healthcare and things like that.
I also think like education is going to look really different, right?
And so right now we have this four-year college system that everyone's been, not everyone, but a lot of government effort has been spent pushing people through the four-year liberal arts college system.
I am a little bit pessimistic about how long that's going to last.
I think the
there have been a lot of cracks in this sort of four-year college system for a long time, a lot of problems with it.
This idea that you study history for four years and you get handed like an accounting job at the end or whatever it is.
This has always been a broken promise.
Like your skills are not whatever tied to any of the classes that you went to.
People are going to tons of debt and now they're not even getting another job at the other end of it.
And so maybe we need apprenticeships.
Maybe we need national service programs where some countries have national military service.
Maybe we do national public service and you work
some kind of job, whether it's cleaning up parks or working in administration, learn some actual on-the-job real skill that we need.
And you actually take that and convert it into job skills instead of taking philosophy courses that you chat GPT your way through, which is basically what's going on right now.
And so I think that these are all the way that I'm sort of thinking about it is like, what are the ways we expect the economy to change?
